I’m a self-employed tradesperson, I talk to a lot of people and try to get a general feel for how other small businesses keep afloat, even if I have basically no overhead. I don’t have an MBA or anything but I can tell you everyone’s out here keeping costs as low as they possibly can, and how do you do that? Buying cheap shit whenever possible.
That shit don’t come from the factories down the road, yall. The ones that still exist and are staffed by 25% the people they used to? Those are not the ones manufacturing cheap plastic shit sold in bulk.
Not unless they’re selling it to other factories, like a certain plastics plant I’ve actually worked at. Which is German-owned.
Ain’t nobody making cheap direct-to-consumer goods this side the meridian
…aka, most small businesses
