That Americans have become lazy and entitled. I can't imagine American workers willingly working overtime like those Asians did without complaining and making a big fuss. We have created a society in which people expect the world on a golden platter. Gone are the days when men worked all day without complaint just to provide for their families.
Do you know anything about the work environment in China? Just because we hear so little about their complaints doesn't mean that they aren't complaining, check this story about an entire factory of workers who all threatened to kill themselves for better working conditions.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

You did not say it, but citing the importance of cheaper supplies suggests it.
