BMW gave us Swiss watches for Target price for a while, that period has now come to an end. We still get the performance but not the soft values of uniqueness and specialness.
perfectly said. thats a concept that many people do not understand. in general.

many people do not understand why people with money buy the things they do. because its not always about getting the most for the money. but rather having something that holds true to uniqueness and specialness.
