<p>I think that one very important intangible is the way walmart has conditioned americans to accept flimsey trash so long as the selling price is low enough.</p><p>That way, if the widget you bought last time that you needed one, is broken before the next time you intend to use it, you run out and buy another cheapie...which the railroad gets an extra haul out of the bargain. This, as opposed to buying an heirloom quality widget that you would purchase once, and use the rest of your life, and eventually pass down for your progeny to use as needed during their lifetimes.</p>
