Very sad reality, from clothes to electronics. One wonders whether this run for cheaper builds while remaining relatively conservative in prices, unrestrained by a - missing - critical mass of discerning, demanding consumers, will end through some fading of the economic causes that triggered it. Or if this culturally polluting trend will stick now that it has been installed as a "normalcy".
(Since I see that this is this quite alive: Update: real time: I have just been told in a shoestore, "No, forget about the good quality you could find years ago: it is either "meh" shoes or shoeless". I mean, I have good hope that if one made of finding good products a job in itself, with extensive effort, some reservoir may eventually be found, but really this whole situation is /very/ suboptimal.)
