@HustleBitch_ We now have features the 1965 refrigerator didn't have. It's called SMART.... S-urveillance M-onitoring A-nalysis R-eporting T-echnology Your new refrigerator now can spy on you!

@HustleBitch_ Because we don’t manufacture them any longer. Corporations dropped innovation to maximize profits and relied on technology to separate them from the rest.

@HustleBitch_ I had a '50s Westinghouse "icebox" than ran continually for 45 years (excepting a few hours in '65 and '77 due to NYC blackouts). For all I know it's still running today, somewhere. A tenant got rid of it, replaced it with some new-fangled computerized thing about 25 years ago.

@HustleBitch_ won't break when AWS is down

@HustleBitch_ If you adjust for inflation, those top-of-the-line old school fridges were well under $1000. Today's best are twice that price. And tests have shown, old or new, they use about the same amount of energy.

@HustleBitch_ They figured out that if they were made cheaply they would break down and that’s when the throw away chapter of our history began! After NAFTA! 🙄

@HustleBitch_ Old appliances were built to last. My 1950s oven will be a family heirloom. Now I just need an old fridge….

@HustleBitch_ We gave our souls to China for lower pricing.

@HustleBitch_ Wait till your IoT fridge gets shut off because you've exceeded your carbon usage.

@HustleBitch_ Refrigeration itself is a lot worse than it used to be, too. I believe Freon was used for decades, until it was banned under the pretenses of "saving the ozone layer".

@HustleBitch_ If we all agree we are getting fucked by the elite, when do we all agree it’s time to stop hating each other and turn the energy towards real change.

@HustleBitch_ This, but Apple trying to sell us tech they finished innovating on a decade ago as “New”. But yeah, I love this refrigerator. I almost want to check that its not AI, but I don’t want to be disappointed.

@HustleBitch_ I had an old fridge that was pink inside, and the shelves were attached to a pole in the center, where they could rotate to like a lazy susan and also adjust the height of them. Just spin the shelf to the front to reach things. I loved that old fridge.

@HustleBitch_ Because boomers hate you? 😂 Somehow, some way, it’s gotta be boomers fault!

@HustleBitch_ They have been snuffing mechanical innovation for a long time and made it too expensive So shameful cause it was all so cool

@HustleBitch_ These are REAL questions?! wtf 😂

@HustleBitch_ Because virtually everything is outsourced; aka White men dont make them anymore.

@HustleBitch_ I want one. New shit sucks.

@HustleBitch_ Hello @Frigidaire @LGUS @SamsungUS ?????

@HustleBitch_ Amazing. They were so advanced back then.

@HustleBitch_ Newer is not always better!

@HustleBitch_ We are being robbed

@HustleBitch_ Great question

@HustleBitch_ Yup. Hustled Bitch.

@HustleBitch_ They don't have roller pull out trays anymore because the fridge is now so light, pulling out a heavy tray would cause the whole thing to fall on you.

@HustleBitch_ How they suppose to make it break in 5 years if they dumb these things down like this. They will last 30 years again and kill the appliance industry. Can't be having that nonsense.

@HustleBitch_ Designed obsolescence…I had a fridge from the 1930’s a Crosley shelvadoor to be exact , first fridge to have shelves on the door, coolant ran off of ammonia, it still ran just before I donated it to a museum , almost 100 years old and still kept food cool

@HustleBitch_ Because we keep buying the shit. And then it breaks and we buy another…but one with more bells and whistles.

@HustleBitch_ But does it connect to the internet?

@HustleBitch_ Check put the 1960s Frigidaire flair as see in Bewitched series. Ovens on top so u can see things. Cooking range slid in and out so u would have more space when done cooking.

@HustleBitch_ Makes me think of Moon landing deniers saying: "How is it possible that we could do it with 1960s technology, but can't do it with modern technology?"

@HustleBitch_ One reason is the price. Fridges with this stuff would be more expensive than those without. Another reason is feature drip - the assurance for the producer to be able to offer a new model with something differing from the previous.

@HustleBitch_ @naasvzyl Wait till they bring a fridge out that won’t let you store food that takes you over your carbon credit score

@HustleBitch_ Wanna get blackpilled? https://youtu.be/YieUNRVCSv4?s...

@HustleBitch_ Because they cared about innovation and now just the profit margin. We keep buying the bullshit, theyll keep making it.

@HustleBitch_ @NicholosPoma Does a company make more money by making a product that can easily be fixed, or by building a product that needs replaced every 5-6 years?
