huh? it is all cheaper relatively. which exported good from china is more expensive now than the 90s adjusted for inflation?

it's literally what the graphs in the article say... increased efficiency and what I am saying are not in contention.

Why are you putting the onus on the commenter you’re replying to, to show you examples that disprove the point of the article when you’re the one being a contrarian?

TVs are super famous as the economic example of a good getting cheaper in nominal terms every year as they get better specs. Because it’s such a strange phenomenon. You looking for cheaper real goods, opposed to nominal, misses half (or more) of why TVs are so interesting.

Why don’t you show us some other goods that are cheaper in nominal terms compared to the 90s “because China”?

Basically almost anything electronic? Camera’s, microphones, wireless microphones, battery packs, etc.? Plethora of kids toys all made in china. Most of them are crappy throway, so whether they are really cheaper than the quality toys you can play with for longer…

Then, I noticed that some frozen salmon in our supermarket was mega cheap at €9/kg, as opposed to the more standard €14-16/kg, and the country of origin???? China.

I included a link that explains this. Anyone who thinks things becoming cheaper without mentioning china is delusional.
