The lower prices we pay now are the result of decades of outsourcing, automation, and value engineering.
Back in the day, your average family didn't pay $1,200 for a microwave, they went without. We didn't have a microwave, or a dishwasher, or most of the other kitchen appliances people now enjoy. Those things were for rich people. We cooked popcorn on the stove and washed the dishes in the sink afterwards.
