Mayor, if you don't know that quality products cost more than cheap
products because they use better (more expensive) raw
materials/ingredients and require more (expensive) craftsmanship to
make, then you are even dumber than I think you are. Compare, for
instance, a chest of drawers from Ikea against one from Hooker of
Martinsville. The Ikea chest is made from cheap plywood and
pressed-board stapled together by machine and if it's finished at all,
it has wood-grained vinyl cladding. The Hooker piece OTOH, is made from
solid hardwoods, with dovetailed drawers, mortise-and-tenon joints and
fine, hand-rubbed finishes. The Hooker piece is QUALITY and probably
costs 50 times what the Ikea unit costs. But you still insist that
there's no relationship between cost and quality and you've got rocks in
your head.
