Even if this post is sarcasm(sorry, text does not carry tone of voice well), I'm going to post an argument
You tell someone to bring an item back during a recession, yet in our economy it relies on the consumer to buy things and bring money into the economy, not sit back and go "we're in a recession."
Capitalism is fun, if no one is buying, no one is making money, if no one is making money, no one is buying. If people are buying, a handful of people are making good money, a handful are making decent money, and an entire set of workers are out of the job because someone in Asia does their job for $.10/hour.
