Yes, the world has greedy people wanting to make quick money by selling cheap products.Amazon does this AND is killing off competition, as are other huge companies.I am one person, living on an island in the Pacific Ocean, but I make a difference in that I predominately buy locally made products and, damn the cost, I buy the best quality products.The offshoot of this is that sometimes I don't have masses of things but what I have lasts ... and because I have good taste or taste I like, the things I have are still attractive.Vote with your wallet.
