If it still sells and increases your profit is that not a sound business decision? You focus on the "greedy" producer and not the stupid consumer. If these reduced value/quantity products still sell well at the non-reduced price then who is the one responsible for that?
People with limited cash and limited choices maybe. For example, if you can't find a product with the right price the suggestion is to shop around till you do right? But in order to do so you have to expend resources to go to different locales to find these lower prices...using funds either for gas or public transportation. So there go the savings you were seeking when you find the lower priced item. Spending quarters to save pennies?
I don't put all the blame on producers. I am not a big fan of our monetary policy. I don't trust money that has no intrinsic value because you can print as much as you want of it, which in turn reduces it's purchasing power as people lose faith. It's like a shallow version of post-WWI German printed money with nothing to back it up only in that case there was absolutely NO faith in it. We still have faith because our government seems strong and dependable but that's all it is, our continued trust it's worth something. What ever happens if we start thinking "my tangible whatsis cannot be exchanged for your intangible piece of paper?"
