I had a microwave-air fryer combo that broke last week. It's been agony trying to replace it because I bought it for $150, and now they're going for like...$300-$400. Even a solo microwave is like $180 for a decent one.

When did microwaves get so expensive?

When households started having 3+ children who won't bother cooking. Idk if is a generational thing, but I've noticed most people my age won't even bother to learn how to cook SMH.

Should...shouldn't that make it cheaper?

We DON'T live in a supply side utopia?? 😱

Lmao. No. Take for example the most popular smartphone in the world: the iPhone. Why isn't it cheaper? Also microwaves have gotten cheaper, I've heard they used to cost thousands in the 1970s and 80s.
