That thinking is where we started in America back in the 1940's, and look where we are now on the greedy scale. Labor costs have driven prices out of this world for us, because everybody wants to make more and save more than everyone else. GREED is what drives us in the USA as compared to places like China who are driven by survival.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
