If the market (YOU) demands quality and pays for it, the market will get it.
One of the problems with that being that is some cases there is little or no choice. You either buy the substandard item at a rock bottom price, or do without. Been to a hardware store recently?
Another problem is us. There are enough of us that subscribe to the disposable society mantra (that incidentally keeps the economy going,) that are quite happy to buy crap that needs replacing after a year (or less) that those of us that would prefer to spend a little more and get something halfway decent, often have to spend a large amount more to get something very decent indeed; the halfway decent suppliers have gone out of business or aren't exporting their product to our country.
