Following up on my emulsion tube issue this week:
These carbs were purchased from Webercarbsdirect.com and were represented as genuine Webers. They are not. They are Chinese knock-offs. The retailer refuses to take them back. You've been warned! Do everyone a favor and spread this around to help others from getting screwed. |

For my resume? Sorry, what?
Their "plan"? Come on, you're giving them WAY too much credit, and not giving our people nearly enough. It's called competition, and supposedly we're good at it. When it's worth our while we can manufacture anything we want. WHEN it's worth our while. |

For my resume? Sorry, what? Their "plan"? Come on, you're giving them WAY too much credit, and not giving our people nearly enough. It's called competition, and supposedly we're good at it. When it's worth our while we can manufacture anything we want. WHEN it's worth our while. I think the DB has a lot of good points and the actual email exchange with the company was very enlightening. As for competition, if you have a government that is willing to subsidize sales at a loss you can effectively run others out of business and then jack up the prices. I think that has indeed happened as a plan in some arenas. Or if you have a group of wealthy individuals agreeing to fix prices you can do the same sort of thing. I think all of that is going on in this day and age and the capitalist model is largely broken with large scale businesses. Competition simply doesn't exist between some businesses. At the weber level though the product is simple to manufacture if you want to, so we have a chance. Isn't PMO a US product? |
