Thanks man!! You can never have too much exposure.

Today my sister was complaining about all the Marcus T Solutions updates on Facebook. To which I said, “Sweet! It’s working!”

I don't know man, with a lot of things, the option to buy quality simply isn't available. Try and find a new car made of metal. And there is a magic line there somewhere where price doesn't always win over the consumer, buts its more an issue of trust created by the merchant. People won't buy a shitty Roolex watch from a dude on the street, but if its wrapped in 4 feet of plastic and sold at the Wall, people thinks its ok and go for it. Walmart skews the above graph by tricking us into thinking their shit is decent quality. Its the same scumbag selling Roolexes, he's just built a better facility for himself. This is why they hire our grandmothers to stand at the door and garner a sense of trust in the shoppers. It'd take longer than 2 years, but the economy would be fine- with some obvious differences: -Only merchants with the best reputation for quality will survive. We'll still need to buy can openers once in a while, you'd better make a good one if you want to make those remaining sales. -Goods could all be manufactured close to home. Selling $50 can openers instead would mean you could pay your labourers a decent wage. 50 people making good can openers at a good wage instead of 5000 people making shit for pennies a day. -It would be way way harder to get super rich because there would be far less circulation. -Less pollution, less waste, better efficiency, more money winding up in the hands of the poor. Most of our problems could be solved if people just stopped buying garbage. You want to stick it to the man, do a little research, and only buy quality goods that last.

It’s a very disturbing reality isn’t it? Everyone knows and understands this point, but still flock to the nearest Walmart to buy the new “automatic jar opener” that’s on sale for 6.99. It’s bullshit! You can preach quality to people until you are blue in the face but in the end, price always wins out.

Imagine if everyone bought strictly good quality items for an entire year? 2 things would happen.

1. Everyone would stop needing things and have a panic attack over the extra time/need for shopping.

2. The economy would collapse because everyone is stuck in this “create shit and sell it” mentality.

I say fuck it! BUY GOOD SHIT YOU IDIOTS!!!!!!
