Yeah -- I read a lot of thread and many posters were making the excellent point that DEMAND is dictated by dynamic introduction of NEW products and services -- not just the same ole stuff. The provider needs to constantly refine and introduce new stuff. What would Christmas shopping look like if the toy Dept carried only last years' stuff? Probably sales would off by double digits.
The danger we face in THIS country is --- we can't survive and maintain standards of living for either the TOP or the BOTTOM if we abdicate our role as the inventors and creators. If the stuff we desire (want or need) is defined by OTHER countries -- we become market slaves. And we are about to see how that happens -- if we don't find leadership to return to a biz friendly environment and cut out this destructive class warfare.
Pretty sound reasoning. Still, even Manufacturer's have to deal with the cost and availability of Raw Materials, and or Vendors. It takes Vision and hard work.
Again, there is nothing available at the Market Place that Someone or some group, did not take a chance on in getting it there. RDD is confusing the role of the Provider with that of the Consumer. True there are two sides to the Equation, and that is where fair compensation is determined, but who is the consumer to Screw the Provider out of Fair Compensation through Dictate?
