What you save now may come at your expense later or someone elses. Consumerism is a nasty addiction.
I wouldn't "glady" watch pilots go to unemployment, but you bet your ass I'd buy the $19 over the $119 one. Why? Because it's the same product. No sense in paying 6x as much for the same thing.
This isn't consumerism, it's capitalism.
