Ignorance is bliss.........for the stockholders!
Most are too dumb and or lazy to do the necessary research and make a smart purchase.
Of course, corporate America loves this. Build it cheaper, put a grand old name on it, and nah, no one will ever notice. Right? Isn't this what they teach now at Harvard Business school?
I suppose those who cannot learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
Anyone remember the Cadillac Cimmaron? I'm sure GM would love to forget it and boy, what a whack Caddy took with that one. But hey, it met what biz school curriculum taught them right?
A lady I work with swears by Hotpoint, totally ignorant of the fact it is a GE product through and through.
Still, its fun being on the outer orbit so to speak. I've always been noted for not following trends and saddling up with other sheeple.
When my high school buds were into Fords or Chivvys, I was a Mopar man.
When everyone used Valvoline I used Castrol or Havoline.
When everyone bought a cheap plastic fan, I bought Lakewood and Patton and still have them 20 years later.
When it was cool to shop at some hip hop fly trendy mall store, I bought lands end and LL Bean clothing.
When it was cool to drink watered down milk, I stayed with whole milk.
When a triple mocha latte was "it", I dutifully stayed with Folgers Columbian.
When the flat screen boob tubes came along, I kept my old tube Toshiba. Still have it in fact and it still works.
And when it became the rage to dutifully subscribe to eco theory, I replaced a water guzzling GE with another water guzzling machine.
And haven't looked back.
