Onion peelers replaced by machines (1969) | RetroFocus

[@MrSaemichlaus]

When you are replaced by a machine but everyone is already crying ...

[@BlackCatedialogue]

Why they will be glad if im replaced by machine

[@david.ricardo]

@@BlackCatedialogue humanity will become more productive, products are gonna get cheaper and you are no longer doing a repetitive useless job.

[@Geert365]

@@david.ricardo Thanks for sticking up for me.

[@skjoli2649]

These history videos are great at putting modern day changes into perspective. Stops fear mongering.

[@wakeupscreaming9883]

Ok, so the machine replaced about 7 women? How about self-driving vehicles replacing millions of jobs? The economy won't be able to absorb that. And the video states the women would be moved onto "stuffing olives or canning fruit" -- those jobs have probably already been automated with machines as well. Eventually you run out of jobs to fall back onto. Our economic model will eventually have to evolve. There is no fear mongering, it's reality and being pro-active.

[@skjoli2649]

@@wakeupscreaming9883 I wasn't saying that recognising the economy needs to evolve has anything to do with fear mongering. I agree with you that the economy needs to evolve. The NBN could have helped with that...

[@handsomelarsandhisfabulousjars]

@@wakeupscreaming9883 considering the average level of education, it's no surprise that unemployment is so high when there are fewer unskilled labor jobs available. US manufacturing has been mostly outsourced and our workers (and by extension the economy itself) are suffering for it. US corporations simply refuse to pay proper wages and taxes, and instead have spent decades bribing politicians to change the laws making it easier and more profitable to manufacture and import from overseas and mexico

Well.....what to say, Corona virus its here...not enough vaccines......the Manaos variant, ....the Belo Horisonte variant,...the South African variant, ....the British variant....there won't be enough people to eat all those.fastly pealed.onions anyway...

[@canigetuhhh8631]

I would argue quite the opposite lmao

[@kamlem]

And onion peeling machines were replaced by Tony Abbott.

[@Pippy_Pappy]

That's like saying Michael Jordan was the first man

[@revanentyt7697]

“can you tell us anything of the great onion peelers of the past?” he then talks about a woman who could hold 3 or 4 onions at once?! what a woman...

[@kittyscat8905]

She was really a man pretending to be a women to make the rest look bad.

[@clxwncrxwn]

Kittys cat life of Brian stoning scene

[@scoldedcat]

He failed to mention that she was an Amazonian.

[@miker252]

We all appreciate a woman who can handle our onions.

[@scoldedcat]

Not many applicants ?? He failed to mention that this footage was taken at The Parramatta Women's Correctional Facility.

[@TheCleaner76]

Imagine doing that all day, my eyes my eyes

[@shaunoleary7092]

And no tears were shed.

[@R0yL33]

looks like the machine cut off too much good onion as waste

[@zuldo8577]

Nothing beats those damned onionpeelers of the past.

[@InnocentAbyssinianCat-eb7ge]

It should become a new form of sporting competition which could be televised on the ABC on Sunday afternoons

[@Quarker]

That outro caught me off guard, lmao 😂

[@o_o6869]

When the good onion's gone away,you can't bring them back.

[@s3073535]

Has anyone been able to find out more about the inventor of this onion peeling machine? I tried variations on 'Edwin Buck inventor Melbourne first onion peeling machine' (including using more and using fewer words), but can't find anything.

[@MrMpakobec]

1:56 I KNEW IT! Onion peelers are superior!

[@crains8087]

haha--I saw that, too! I think that's what the two people at the end are for.

[@qyphs7678]

Hard to think everyone and everything was black and white back then. Thank god scientists created colour.

[@iamarchibald]

"Onion peelers will probably be moved to other work like stuffing olives or canning fruit." Sounds like a joke lol. Amazing what machines have done for us, especially in terms of food and such

[@Pippy_Pappy]

When everything is completely automated and there really aren't any more jobs - about a hundred years later the government might do something about it.

[@RogerRamos1993]

We still have to work so much because of the government.

[@robichj]

What if the governments decisions are made by machines?

[@miker252]

Well you have the guy who has to built the machine and the guy who has to fix it and the woman who tells them what to do.

[@jessicalamarre3345]

no experienced onion peelers... the job is fading away 😂

[@debunked2926]

Well they may have lost a few onion peelers, but you then may have factory's that builds & sells the machinary & parts making up for the loss.

[@MassoudAdamAbdel]

Do onions come peeled? I swear they are almost always not except in those fancy containers.

[@TheWipal]

canned onions, onions for tv dinners, onion flakes

[@tvnja]

@@TheWipal who even buys canned onions. Fresh onion is pretty cheap and tastes better

[@TheWipal]

@@tvnja idk, well atleast any company that makes prepackaged food probably gets their onions peeled so there's that use lol

[@HGCUPCAKES]

2:17 this man cost how many people’s jobs, around the world?

[@danaayounus]

Y'all get pre-peeled onions?? What xo

[@iamarchibald]

For like canned and pickled onions and stuff

[@Geert365]

Danged, they come pre pealed ?

[@Holly_hox_forget_me_not]

Without casting dispersion, were most onion peeling women from other countries?

[@thetrashmaster1352]

Automation = Better for everyone. People that would today be onion peelers are accountants making 4x as much money a year.

[@Davis932]

Till automation replaces accountants.

[@faizanjoyia]

That was the time we made things and sold them overseas

[@kevinhuddleston4219]

Stuffing olives would be better no tears lol

[@nateromanowski793]

Get a onion up ya

[@michaelreilly3513]

An onion, not a onion.

[@anthonygraham6503]

just another example of jobs disappearing due to technology.

[@kerokero_furogu]

That's the same as blaming the wheel for a loss of carrying jobs. The rethoric simply doesn't work.

[@c0mputer]

Kero Kero Don’t bother replying. Anthony Graham is just a troll bot replacing the old troll human. Just another example of jobs disappearing due to technology.
