Cheaper to whom? Better to whom?
> That will translate into even more expensive products for consumers.
You know what's even more expensive for consumers in the long run? But of course you don't think in the long run. Or anybody else than yourself. Or anything at all, really. I'm sorry that people like you exist. So blinded by cheap bling.
One generation of wealthy Western people filling their homes with crap because it's "cheap" and "easy", blissfully unaware or unwilling to think about the very real external costs borne by other people somewhere else. Or somewhen else for that matter – so incredibly selfish that you're entirely willing to make the world worse for your children and their children, just in order to enjoy limitless consumerism for a few decades. Feeling good about that?
