The Evolution of Convenience: Supermarkets, Bread, and Refrigerators | Extra Long Documentary

So glad I stumbled across this on a Sunday evening. I love the fridge, don't know what I would without it.

Sadly, woman widely working also had the effect of an exponential increase of exploitation of workers. Because, now that a household has two bread makers, they could pay each one much less than they used to... We are paid way less than we deserve and for what we produce. They could easily double everyone's wages without any issue - just get rid of the shareholders who do NOTHING to contribute to production. Increases in production should enhance the productive WORKER'S wages and work-life balance. An increase of about 400% in productivity since the 1970's has not gone to the workers; in fact we work more and are paid about 10% less based on purchasing power than we were 50 years ago. CEOs increased their payout from 20:1 to their average worker's wage to 350-400:1. We could work half as much and be paid twice as much if we get rid of non-productive people from work. Especially since I would define work as actually being productive. As far as many of us are concerned, these people don't contribute to production whatsoever. We could eliminate the managerial class, and we'd be far more productive than we already are. And it's far worse in the Global South, since we still colonize these areas economically...

I swear these people try to convince us to eat the bugs every chance they get.

Worked for Buddies Grocery in 70's, bought by Winn Dixie in Mineral Wells, Texas, became first Winn Dixie in Texas.

And then came Walmart...the behemoth of today's supermarkets. I wanna be around when we get Star Trek-like food replicators. That would be so cool! 😃😃

I can't get over how the brunette always looks like even she's surprised by the facts she's saying! It's adorable actually.

Funny the "Walk on the Wild Side" background music in the bread part

6:16 woman smells literal can of food sets it down displeased LOL

I remember the Piggly Wiggly stores with the narrow aisles. One failed and moved across the street to a different building... no help... finally went bankrupt.

Actually Félix Potin a French businessman founded his eponymous mass-distribution retail business, in the mid-nineteenth century

In late 70's I trained to cut hanging beef, when I started working, they went to box beef, for a newbie it was hard to judge what meat, 'beef' you were cutting. I was learning old style meat cutting and modern cutting, portion control stared a few years before as I remember. Ernest Borgnine in movie "Marty" he was a butcher, I asked him if he had cut meat before because he looked like he knew what he was doing, he said in the Navy.

This is a beautifully put together documentary very interesting, thank you i enjoyed it

Best of the Best

I haven't shopped in 3 months.

That butcher at 3:40 dealing with that ladie's extra specifics like "damnit carol one day ill tell you what i think about cutting the fat to 1 centimeter so your effin poodle doesnt choke and gain weight"

Our quickening of our demise.

Appreciate the audible translation.

A 3D printer that prints fruit is called a tree, by the way... Some people and their vision of the future... garbage.

Yes the making of heaven. Civilization truly begins with the frig.
