| | | Yes, Annie. It's an investor perspective that I presented. The consumer perspective that I hold dear is not the same. Therefore, I view this with some apprehension as well as anticipation of company growth and capital gains in my portfolio. However, as long as the two consumer categories are separated by brand, and as long as each brand is true to the potential customers in its particular market, the mothership is safe and on the course charted by investors in a public company.
To many of us, good enough is not good enough, but to the majority good enough is a way of life.
Things overheard in the good enough consumer sphere:
"Trailer park heaven is a real good deal, though."
"I know TV wrestling is not real drama, but we like it."
"No. We had spaghetti last night. Tonight were eatin' sloppy joes!"
"Artificial flowers don't wilt and die, and don't need no water."
"These off brand cigs taste funky, but I can't afford to pay for brand name."
"Push the Bass Boost button. It'll sound better."
And: "Don't sit on that end of the porch swing!"
Been there. Couldn't stay.
