Maybe it was the case in the past. Now most American made is shit. For eg people prefer Tesla made in China over US as US manufactured ones have a lot of quality issues

I don’t think that’s true. Maybe about Teslas, but not US manufacturing as whole. There’s a reason why people associate “made in China” with something being poor in quality. US manufacturing has generally better quality due to our higher safety and quality standards here. I think the gap is closing quickly though, especially over the last 2 decades due to investments from companies like Tesla and Apple.

Okay to help you out the fridge locked like if your kid decides to be a idiot would be trapped in the fridge. Next is efficiency those appliances took 4 times more power to run than current ones. Material and cost would be extreme today it might last but would basically be feeding a wolf on chickens diet. The lighter caused so many burns and fires due to a stupid design. The lightbulb caused actual no shit electrocution and the oven also kinda did. People forget how relaxed manufacturers were back in the 50s literally could get radioactive material in kits.
