Double shot tonight boys and girls. Two posts that i worked on today while @ lunch, heh i owe it to you loyal readers....drifters, hehe.

So yeah i've really been nesting on this post, it just bugs me at the amount of money, attention and detail that goes into the advertising and the quality the product produces and the guarantee the company puts into the product, doesn't add up to anything. Mass production of any product doesn't equal the quality of anything nowadays. Last weekend i was at the Big Y supermarket browsing the cereal aisle, and Fruity Pebbles has "50% Better Tasting" branded on the top of the box. So that means that for 35 years i've been eating mediocre cereal, not to mention all of the things i've been consuming my entire life. We the generation of the 1970's remembers the false hope in advertising the wrong color on the box of a toy. We all wanted the color as displayed on the box, and the ultimate bummer picked up our faces off the floor after we opened it to utter disappointment.

If you don't have a good product, leave it in research and development. Of course if anyone falls ill or dies, a check can usually compensate said person or family. No one nowadays really stands behind their product with conviction and guarantee. The problem is also that people are sue-happy, always looking at where the next buck can be taken, so of course no company is gonna stake themselves on flaky feedback.

We're all taught by our parents to buy USA made vehicles. The thing that puts us in the seat of a foreign car is the fact that price and convenience outweighs the conscience of buying domestic. We have to worry about number one, us the consumer. It's tragic that hundreds lose their jobs to foreign transported vehicles, but sector 1 has to worry about sector 1. Not that sector 2 is  pulling in more business from production.

 Back to the small scale, if i buy say a small power tool that's telling me that the max output is 6700 rpm's, but the battery life of said tool is used to the maximum capacity rpm's for 20 seconds dies, it's not a good tool no matter what the hell i'm cutting or drilling. Numbers don't lie, but again people don't pay attention. Comparitive shopping has never been familiarized with chronic indecisiveness. Buyer beware huh?
