I have listened recently to other argument on Hidden Forces podcast.
Washing machines made Great Recession particularly brutal. Washing other people's laundry used to be popular way to supplement home budget when the man of the house lost his job.

Soon some people may find out that some bullshit jobs do not exist anymore.
