Where pineapples, salmon, and cocunuts are scarce, the concept of "mine" begins. There is less opportunity to talk about "mine" when everybody can afford or obtain a reasonable mobile phone. The TV is more affordable now for two reasons. There is a constant demand but cheaper robotic labour and less raw material required. They are also less likely to break down. As such, there is less general need as a result. Less general need equates to lower demand except for that which is bigger and uh "new".You need consumers for a market. It is one aspect of an overtly communist economy that means refusing to pay peopl more than enough to eat and maintain a necessary dignity will stifle that economy regardless of a company's or various producers' efficiency. Without consumers there is no point to economic endeavor but vanity and ego. You are not serving anyone or anything but ego.
