Not Rocket Science
Ziggy Zig gmail.com wrote:
corrected misdirected follow-up groups Most people don't realize that they spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year buying the heavily advertised (HA) brand products in the grocery and department stores. There is nothing in the grocery store that is rocket science. Many of the less advertised (LA) brands or store brands are just as good or better as the HA brands. You are paying for the brainwashing that many HA brand manufacturers put in their advertising campaigns. It is not difficult to make shampoos, conditioners, cleaning products and all those other products that can be found in your local grocery or department store. Why are you paying 4+ dollars for baby shampoo when you can buy the less advertised brand for half the money? Do you like wasting money? A namebrand usually means quality. If something goes wrong with a namebrand product, you hear about it. The whole idea behind a namebrand is about developing a good reputation. No-brand products have no reputation, so you have no way of knowing whether the maker uses quality ingredients. I believe that namebrand products will help get us out of this Chinese made mess. People need to focus on name brands, and spread the word about where the namebrand products and their ingredients are made. If I were a mother, I would be very concerned about the fact that almost all baby products, like a pacifier a mother sticks into her baby's mouth, are made in China. Unfortunately, feminists really do not want manufacturing jobs here in the United States since they are mostly held by men. Having everything made in China with slave labor is great for feminists because it means they get cheaper products while depending less on their male counterparts. Also, illegal immigration means feminists get cheap labor and do not have to pay their male counterparts a decent wage to do the hard work. See California politics (recent congressional hearings on illegal immigration, women versus men) for a clear example of that stuff. -- If the name brand products are better why would companies be spending billions of dollars in advertising? The answer is that they are not better. They are trying to convince you that the high price they are charging is some how justified by a better product. Even over the counter drugs like aspirin can be bought for half the price of the HA brands. This is a product that has been around for decades. The LA products are under the same FDA regulations as the HA brands. Save a lot of money and don't buy the over priced HA brands. When you pay the higher price for the HA brands you are paying for the ridiculous high salaries of the CEO's, private jets, golden parachutes and for the billions spent on advertising. Every time you go to the store you can save several dollars. Over time this can amount to a significant amount of money.
