People are sometimes so foolishly blind to what they are doing to the other person in a business transaction. They never step back and realize that for the guy who gives quality and service, he has to make money, but they drive the very people they need out of business. And when they end up with a major problem because they bought on the basis of price only without considering quality and service, it often costs them more than what they “saved” on the front end. I see it in construction-related stuff every day.
Well. The market is a harsh mistress...but at least she’s self-correcting if not smooth.
And the market doesn’t have to hold hearings to determine what should be done.
