Just remembering the day in 1970 when we could afford our first color TV. It was totally made in the USA. It cost $420. That is $2600 in 2018 $$$.

Does anyone REALLY want to go back to those times?

The technology has changed. That is what makes TV’s cheap. now. So how much labor do you think is in a $400 imported TV? Maybe an hour? ( probably not that much ) So if Made in the USA the TV would cost $450.00. Not a huge difference.
