People sit in parks with signs because they are frustrated by their total lack of power in our economic system. Of course it doesn't work, because as you say, they're sitting around doing nothing, but they do it anyway to raise awareness. They do it because they don't know what else to do. Nothing works. The corporations control the markets.

Ah, the classic "horse and buggy" example from B-school... I haven't seen it in years. (Do you teach on the side?)

That scenario doesn't have anything to do with what I'm discussing.

I'm saying that when corporations control the markets, they (slowly) remove high-quality products from circulation and replace them with cheaper variants that boost their bottom line. It's all done for the benefit of the shareholders. It has absolutely nothing to do with serving the customers. They only do what is necessary to keep their business sustainable.
