On a positive note; consumers demand new, 'better' things. This drives advancement and innovation.
However:
The fact that he/she is ignorant about product origins and the "big picture" is their fault.
The fact that they demand cheap products is their fault.
And the quest by companies for these consumer-demanded cheap products led them overseas to ultra-cheap labor.
But a company cannot say any of that, or else many of them would...because to the consumer, it's everybody
else's fault.
