[quote=Anonymous]Most people will choose cheap over anything else. Remember the buy American campaign of the 80s? Even nationalism could not prevail over pocketbooks. It’s why the environment is in such bad shape. What’s sad is that this is true even for MC and UMC people. They will externalize costs to their health and the environment by choosing the cheap stuff (which creates other costs, like health care.). The antibiotics in meat is a good example. It’s totally clear that’s a bad idea and has short term and long term health effects. But it keeps the cost of meat low so no one will ban it. It’s just one example of many ridiculous policy choices aimed at satisfying people’s desires for lots of cheap stuff. I don’t think that desire is uniquely American but the American political system may be better designed to cater to it. [/quote]
