You blame it on the internet and this new way of life. It's been driven/forced into our brains to continue to be more productive and efficient and it sucks. The internet has taken information beyond where it needs to be.
It's not only the parts industry but most businesses that have succeeded the economy collapse. You either get more efficient or you don't make any money. My job is 3 times the work it was 10 years ago. I really think we are at a point now where we can't get much more efficient. That leads me down the next road. Once you learn to be a government drone you then realize that you have it alright and start living more within your means. Paying down debt, saving money, etc.
This is just my view...
