You know the answer: Providing the lowest cost products.
As one astronaut asked: "How would you feel going into space on
the lowest cost bidder's booster rocket?" Probably not too
good if the corners that were cut to make the low bid are
compounded with yout President's heartfealt desire to
be able to say in his State of the Union Address that
America has orbited a school teacher no matter what the
temperature at the launch site at liftoff time.
I will repeat another of my theses" One of the great advantages
of "capitalism" over "socialism" [Soviet style] is that in the
latter system you knew the names of the people to blame for
doing you in. Stalin did it. And you would be correct.
But in the American way, "nobody did it": "I, CEO of Global
MegaCorp, had no choice: I was merely coerced by The Invisible
Hand, and it I had tried to treat my workers better, they
would have suffered even worse because I would have been
driven out of business altogether instead of just
downsizing. I, CEO of Global MegaCorp, am as powerless
as the people who MegaCorp's downsizing have put out of
work." I truly believe that this is the genius
of "capitalism": to make it impossible for the victims to
find their victimizer. Dictators are either fools or
masochists.
Do not pray. The sky is deaf.
