Lol @ the commodity fetishism in that thread. We're supposed to be happy because some 75 inch Hisense TV is $500?
Also someone threw out a misleading graph that was intended to show costs of products and services relative to wages in the past 50 years. The graph shows CPI being lower than wage growth, but this is really just bullshit because the graph uses average hourly earnings instead of median hourly earnings.

It's funny how we can't make TVs in the states anymore because it's "too expensive". The only people who can make TVs efficiently are the Chinese.
I don't have or want a TV. I want free time to wander in the woods.
