It's funny, ...

1) Did you ever notice how many people want:
- their HDTV's for less then $2000 (or is it $1000 now?)
- their cell phones given to them for free with a contract
- A car that performs like a 1960's Ferrari, for the price of a Chevy,
- Their day to day products to have high quality at Walmart prices
- the steady appreciation of their stock based retirement accounts (if they've had the foresight to invest and manage their own savings) - or -
- their employer to absorb all of the risk of the future value of their savings.

2) But yet, when it comes to supplying their own product (specifically labor)
- They want absolute job security
- a steadily increasing income
- fewer hours
- relief from oversight of quality or output

How detached from the reality of cause and affect can people be??? (Fastpat excepted, because he's answered that question many times over for us already.) Where do inexpensive, high quality products come from if people aren't willing to invest the time, effort and risk required in their own day to day productivity?

(PS: I thought that this thread was going to be about old Vincent Price movies! )
