Goodbye Forever Sears!

with the younger generation cheap crap is all they know and understand and it is just normal to buy something,use it until it breaks and throw it away and fill up the landfills.

I don't buy the whole "blame the younger generation" argument. American consumers have been craving cheap Chinese goods since technology and shipping innovations opened up our shelves to their labor market. This transcends age groups.

It was not a situation of blaming the younger generation,I simply wrote that if they were only raised in cheap crap it will be the only thing they know because of their age they will not have experienced the transition from quality to cheap crap being the norm,but they do suffer the consequences by having to work two jobs in order to pay the bills.

In the 70s it was Japan dominating the cheap crap market,now it is China,but even the cheap crap that came out of Japan was not that bad when compared to what we have now.

When it comes to imported stuff in relation to automotive,Taiwan actually makes some pretty good stuff,if I cannot find American made that is my next choice.

That makes sense, thanks for explaining.
