American prices are lower mainly because you guys are maximizing externalization of costs at all levels... from cheap gas to absent health insurance... you're literally living at the expense of the future, the past and the rest of the planet. But this also affects the quality of things. We talked about this earlier, e.g. how it's impossible to get genuine organic food in America because it all has to be cheapo. And it also affects wages, which limit people's purchasing power. So, as usual, you're living in an illusion, twisting things around, when you assert that people are able to buy quality items because things are cheap.
