They'd pay some people like my immigrant grand parents from europe like a few dollars a day and give them no benefits to stamp out ten thousand can openers out of some sheet metal that was probably formed into a roll locally from the steelworks up the river using regionally sourced coal and iron. How can that not be cheap?
