Temporarily Cheaper Is Always Better


Save Money. Live Better – Wal*Mart Slogan
Traditional families shop price, happily oblivious to foreign labor standards or environmental controls
Sending your job overseas helps your neighbors enhance their lifestyles via savings on cheaper goods
Offshoring also applies to your darling children’s food, but not to worry about where it comes from
You can look the other way when they import those low-cost generic drugs - They’re probably safe
Otherwise disgusting offal can be extruded into profitable but less expensive snacks - Like McNuggets
Cheaper building materials designed to barely meet code will quickly fail in a fire or an earthquake
Asian designers & engineers cost less and work better with our offshore suppliers and manufacturers
The Cheap And Disposable keeps their peasants employed and our shoppers busy returning to stores

There’s less disappointment if the lowest price choice is DOA 1 out of 3 times, right out of the box
Eating, wearing and buying cheap food, clothes, toys, eGizmos & household plastics is our way of life
Its actually feels quite patriotic to offshore a corporation to reduce costs – and increase your bonus
And, when stuff breaks we just curse ‘cheap chinese sh*t’, But not the All-American brand importer

These days the so-called late adopters are really just smart folk waiting for the imported knock-offs
Cut-Rate imported foods & drugs are made to higher standards than their plastic junk, Sure they are!
But, industry self-regulation mandates a handsoff & not responsible attitude toward foreign suppliers
That’s why the cheaper at any cost philosophy has been so very profitable for clever multinationals

We don’t condone workers slaving 7x18 & living 15 to a room,but we do support it with our purchases
It’s not our problem if our need for savings removes environmental issues from producers priorities
It’s also certainly not our concern that peasant laborers cannot afford to buy the products they build
After all, most of that bad stuff happens faraway and overseas so it cannot possibly affect us at all

So, it’s OK if stripmining the ocean is the most efficient way to cheaper AllUCanEat seafood nites out
And burning coal to power our air-conditioners wins if it costs patriotic consumers the very least
Subsidizing frack-first & declare bankruptcy later due to clean up costs yields us cheap energy today
CorPro subsidized,water-gulping,pesticided,GMO-based monocrops on vast tracts yield $1.00 snacks

It’s just smart business to produce meat by focusing solely on cost-containing its factory production
Funny how the cable, internet & cell oligarchies don’t have to compete on price though, ain’t it?
You must admit, its easier & less confusing for consumers to simply shop the bottom line-all the time
Meanwhile, foolish trend-setters pay 3-4X as much for the same stuff we’ll pick up later at Wal*Mart

Uninspected chinese baby food is far cheaper than ours and probably theres no longer melamine in it
Same goes for their tainted drywall that was the cheapest available but got lots of people real sick
They’ve certainly decontaminated those chicken stick snacks that killed off 3-400 of our family dogs
And Wild Caught Alaska Salmon that’s such a buy but ‘product of China’:Not to worry…it’s clean, right?

Those dirt cheap imported phones, tablets & laptops aren’t pickled in spyware either…They promise!
Its a shame we cant outsource healthcare cause maybe then we could even compare treatment costs
And don't forget, we need disposable, quietly-illegal pickers to cheat so we can have cheap tomatoes
So, it’s such a great deal, it doesn’t matter if we buy way more than we need and toss half of it away

You can keep on fightin that climate change by twistin yer coal-fired thermostat fer years ta come

Them toxic wastes aint gonna kill us off even though they will keep on slowly buildin up insidea us
But, one thing that aint never gonna change is ur faith & trust in the absolute trutha that Good Book

Avoid These Polite Conversation Killers

If you can’t say something politically correct, just say something totally inconsequential…
You just shut up about ‘Yes, We Can’ actually being just one more ad man’s empty campaign slogan
We won’t even discuss the omissions, misrepresentations and lies that already cost over a $Tr in Iraq
Nobody wants to hear about fixing corpro-agriculture if it might cost them any extra at all for Doritos
Just don’t mention that ThE Greatest Country on ThE Planet only leads the Undeveloping World

Where’s a benefit to facing the fact that your kids future clearly is not nearly as bright as yours was?
Who’s going to worry much about that climate change scam Republican leaders know is pure BS?
Shushup over exporting a temporary glut of fracked natural gas, again with no plan for when its gone
We’ll stifle statistics that the poor & ignorant are wildly outbreeding ye of the educated middle class

You cannot say: Our Natives & Blacks must have issues if they can be held down for so long - So easily
Only a traitor would dare speak out against outspending the next 20 countries combined on dEfense
Thou shalt not speculate that victims of the obesity plague might shoulder any personal responsibility
It’s political suicide to admit that we must all pay higher taxes and get less benefits just to scrape by

Don’t even whisper of the insurance & drug industry deals cut to get that Obamacare shoved thru
You just wont get away with demanding childbearing licenses as well as requiring two parent families
Dont bring up the false promises of the good new jobs of tomorrow made when they outsourced us
Stop calling their dogma of eternal GDP growth just another fairytale, too-big-to-fail, pyramid scam

Dont discuss how doctors can make $400/hr up til age 80 but you have to be <30 to code a stupid app
Its off topic to ask why top corpro rungs are only for furtive one-track shoulder-climbing psychopaths
Never ever, even whisper that sainted Israel practices what the Nazis did to them on the Palestinians
Don’t ask how we actually have a vibrant, structurally sound economy with 20% of us on food stamps

We won’t even calculate business losses resulting from promotions based solely on affirmative action
Better not go around belittling football and all of its brainwashed, bacon & beer-loving worshipers
You won’t hear how the Wall Street banks got way too much bigger to fail again, so forget about that
Theres no need to broadcast that cable, internet and cell service cost more here than anywhere else

Politicians hope you wont notice they work 2½ days/week in Washington and go fund-raising the rest
We’ll never debate whether holiday shopping isn’t one of thE most important news stories every year
Our right to uber-loud fireworks, jake-brakes, pickups and harleys is rightly not even under scrutiny
Shut up and hold the door for them as they go home early again, for their kids - with their equal pay

So, you think that the main problem with the education system is parenting? Don’t you dare go there
We’ll simply ignore the increasing Jihadi activity going on from Morocco all the way over to Indonesia
Nobody wants to talk low-priority issues like economic sustainability, much less habitat preservation
Who the hell cares if our landfills overflow with valuable recyclables marinating in our toxic wastes?

No, you shouldnt finally tell them that they’re not really very special, even though they all got prizes
Can’t label those leeching seamlessly from unemployment to disability to social security as moochers
How dare you even dream of a support group just for displaced white men? You racist, Nazi pervert!
Mustn’t voice the heresy that Christianity is as dogmatic, wornout & irrelevant as that tired socialism
