I am the (ex) radar technician!
While I kind of agree with this point, there is a time and a place for cheap.
I am fortunate enough to have a semi decent job, but many people don’t have the same disposable income and live on or near the breadline. If cheap is all they can afford then cheap it is.
When people are living like this then I guess cheap comes top of their priorities, not whether it comes with gold knobs on……….
