Why did this happen? simple answer
"Fuck our children. Fuck our countries future. fuck everything but my wallet."
Because "I want to get even richer I see no reason why I would earn 100k a month I want 1m a month because I am the boss of an important company" something like this happens.
If we would pay our employees good money and would stop overpaying managers and bosses etc we would not need to get all our stuff "made in china". But its about short term profit all the time. The people in charge dont care if all of us normal people are unemployed in 10 years.
We can make so much stuff extremely cheap but we charge way to much (because it goes to people that are completely irrelevant and their positions should either not exist at all or they get paid way to much)
I can buy a 3m HDMI cable for 15€ at our local electronics store. Or I can buy 10m for 3€ from someone that imported chinese cables (probably made in the same factory as the 15€ cables). that person adds 10% to the price as his profit and then sells it on Amazon marketplace and does not even charge for shipping.
Tbh serves us right. It is NOT the consumers fault for wanting to get things as cheap as possible its the companies fault for having arbitrary pricing so their higher-ups can do this:
