That said, it’s rooted in companies figuring out that they could raise prices with both parents working post WWII.
That’s utter nonsense

It’s really not.
Pre-WWII, women were in the home almost exclusively. When women had to take over jobs as men went off to war and then men returned, they figured out they could raise prices with more than one income to a household.
Add to it supply shortages and high demand in post-war, it was a perfect storm. The two parent working household began to escalate from there.
