I'll probably be flamed for this...............
It is too late, and not sure you could have ever stopped it. The world is not what it used to be, technology, Internet, shipping etc etc has changed the world into a global economy... this is only the beginning. If you believe in how this country became rich (yes we are) this is just a very large example of capitalism in motion. For many years we owned the market, there was little competition, therefore we charged what we could, our costs got out of control and it all continued to work. There is now competition, others are beating us in the market, they have lower costs and are taking over the market. Yes quality is a challenge, but they will get that eventually.
I just built a barn, I went to the local and it would cost me 15% more to do business with them rather than the big box store. I can’t give away 15% of my money (purchase over $10,000.00) so that the local has a chance. He is doomed to fail overtime anyway.
I often think about the good old days, however they are gone forever. You cannot buy them back. You can purchase wisely, and do your part to make this country better. Hopefully we will figure out away to meet this competition and beat them at our game….. we pretty much ruled at this for many, many years.
