Interesting how prices have gone way up in the face of cheap Asian
labor...those corps manufacturing overseas are doing well at our
expense.

Cost to produce and market price are unrelated, always. If market
consumer
prices reflected cost of production, Walmart's prices would be 1/3 of what
they are now, but the waddling masses happily pay slightly less than other
marketing companies charge while acquiring really shoddy merchandise.
Ignorance can be cured; stupidity cannot.

Cost is never related to price, ever.

WHAT?? Completely wrong. Consumer prices MUST reflect some of the cost of
production. If they didn't, a company could not stay in business. If it
costs 10 to make something and "consumer price" is 5, you can't sell at 5
for very long. If cost is 5 and market price is greater, then the two are
less related but are still relevant.

I have NO IDEA what you mean by "other marketing companies," at least in
this context, since Wal-Mart isn't in the marketing business. They're in the
retail sales business.
