But why pay all that money for a truck when you can
… Because of Modularity. If the rich don’t fuck it up for us, big if, then small time after market companies will flourish selling their mods.
I can’t remember the name of the principle. But my pal explained it to me. It’s almost impossible for small business to compete with production of scale. So one way to survive is to work find a way to add an extra 20% of hand done work machines can’t do to the product. Add a proverbial “cherry on the top” to your business. You let the mass producers do 80% of the work (Slate); Then you add your 20% custom made finish to make the final product.
I like the example of cheap drinking glasses and Podstakannik. But a more familiar example would be painting miniatures for money.
