You could say that about almost any job. when the prices are low the compatition, the also rans, and the fast buck people all look elsewhere for a fix.
the scrap bis is all about volume less compitition more volume and easier pickins.
part of the pricing is inflated dollars, the scrap isnt worth much more then it was in the 60/70s, the dollars are worth a lot less.
inthe 60s I worked in a donut shop for $65 a week, had my own apart, car, and partyed every night and still had $20 or so next payday.
many people my age will tell you the same.
if you take a historical look at standard of living you will see we are some where in the early 70s comparatively.
in the year 1 a fine complete set of cloths cost one gold coin, today that fine set of cloths still cost you one gold coin. think about it.
