DrJ said:Henry Ford did not invent the assembly line but he was the first to build cars on an assembly line, cutting the cost of final product in half. That's how he sold a tremendous number of Model Ts. I believe it was Eli Whitney that originated the concept of the assembly line by making multiple parts of a musket exactly the same whereas before each musket was built individually by hand and no two were exactly alike.
AgentX said:Eli Whitney put standardized parts into use, but an assembly line is a matter of how they're put together. The assembly line is the natural offspring of the implementation of standarization, though...it's all evolution.

They are making signs to hang in a window and sell hipsters idiots a lifestyle. Personally I view it as praying on the mentally disabled.
I just hope that they find a new dick to ride and ruin a different hobby soon.
Glad to see that more are waking up and seeing how much of a joke they are.
Did Old Navy need to have videos or other ways of waxing poetic about all the old chevy trucks in their stores? Nope.
Maybe they needed a clearly BS PR stunt talking about how those trucks cost a million dollars to get the patina just right.
