This is just how we've fought inflation for many years. Things have gotten more accessible, not by accident, but through innovation. And, if your want to pay for quality, you typically still can. Seems like the best of both worlds.
Oh, I'm sorry, did you want to get all the quality but at the low-ball price? Doesn't work that way.
(Not intending to direct this at you specifically spooky. Just hammering your point home for parent poster.)

- xmprt 4y ago> Did you want to get all the quality but at the low-ball price? Doesn't work that way. This is patently false. Look at innovation in things like TVs and personal computers. Technology has gotten significantly cheaper and significantly better quality (although TVs have started to decline in recent years). I understand your sentiment but I don't think it's impossible to ask for innovation to allow old products to be created cheaper without compromising on quality.
- darkerside 4y agoSure, not to say it's impossible. Sometimes you have early technology that can be refined through mass production. But at some point, you optimize as well as you can, and then the only way to continue driving or keeping prices down is to make compromises.
