I guess it is textbook business practice to give people an 'effect', or what they want, with as little investment as possible (overhead). Really, business has always been that way; so I tend to wonder why it is that the further you go back in time with either products or services, the better they are, or are made. How could companies from the "good old days" manufacture, package, and market products for a fair price that were obviously built to last? Take nearly any product from around 40 years ago (and back) and compare it to something similar coming from your local STERILEmart. It is feather light plastic garbage, and even food product packaging is becoming smaller. Look at your small box of say Cocoa Pebbles. It went from small to TINY in the past two or three years!

Are businesses in general hurting so badly that they must continually cut back on quality and/or quantity over time just to stay afloat?
