Nah bro. In the US arts & crafts morphed into mission style, which was just straight flat planks at right angles for practical purposes, which I believe is what you are referencing. As I’d mentioned above, in Britain arts & crafts veered heavily toward the affluent with its high craftsmanship. Arts & Crafts also developed into the ornate art styles of Art Nouveau and Art Deco.
Yes, top craftsmen would get deeper into their craft for their own personal interests and their previous commercial success afforded them the luxury to become more like—or essentially—fine artists.
Or they spent more time on a single piece.
Yes, there was broad appeal for fine handcrafted goods after the Industrial Revolution, so much that craftsmen were successful enough to make better livings selling higher-priced goods, just as it is today. It was a bit ironic that the Arts & Crafts movement started out “for the people / against industrialization” but soon became high-priced goods for the affluent.
Nothing you typed is true. Bob Robertson is right about every point. And I will piggyback off of him and continue to prove him right and you wrong if necessary.
Nothing is being produced for the consumer anymore. We are the Mark. I broke a little plastic gear for turning the chute on my snowblower and cannot buy a 30¢ chunk of replacement plastic. They told us the internet being recategorized as a luxury service instead of a utility service would improve service. It’s gone up in price 5-10x in the fifteen years since, Sucka. Everything is trying to transition you to a subscription service so you will own nothing and be happy, Sucka. Stop carrying water as a useful idiot, Sucka.
To be fair the arts & crafts movement priced itself out of the mainstream.
***edit: why tf am I being downvoted for sharing objective fact about the Arts & Crafts movements at the turn of the century? While it transitioned into more of an upscale art in Britain, it did transition into more mainstream mission style in America, yet ultimately World War 1 ended the Arts & Crafts movement in both nations. Eff you turds for downvoting objective fact you anti-intellectual turds. I’m as progressive and anti-corporate as it gets, you undereducated morons.
***edit 2: the parent comment to mine from iamnotafish with 109 upvotes is unequivocally wrong. British/American society did have those problems in the mid-1800s. The Arts & Crafts movement directly intentionally arose as a humanistic pushback against that exact sort of corporate dehumanization.
Apparently BBC no longer means Big Black Chicken
on the bright side the Russian meatgrinder companies should see increased sales
Sounds like you agree with me that a credit card is not remotely necessary for building good credit.
It’s what the guy at the bank told me each time I bought a car or a house.
I have A+ credit and have never possessed a credit card.
I’m 44yo with A+ credit and have never used a credit card in my life.
For what in the hell does anyone use a credit card, like ever?
middleschool nonsense from you.
I believe the man on the watertower behind Crooks shot those rallygoers.
Yes my narrative fills in the blanks of what actually happened in Butler PA, but it absolutely is not conjecture. I explain how all of the REAL things that happened in Butler PA that are public knowledge all fit together and make sense. Nothing is conjecture. The school roof was in clear view of the rally, yet outside the “official perimeter” and trump’s SS was set up in its direction with a clear view of the roof. Crooks, a loner trumpee who liked guns and had previously participated in rightwing military propaganda as a younger kid, was witnessed on the roof by multiple rallygoers approximately ten minutes before the shootings. There was a man in black filmed on the watertower directly behind Crooks during the shootings. This is all available online, including the aerial layout of the rally grounds. There is no motive for Crooks. There is no evidence Crooks fired his gun. There is no evidence trump was shot. The fight fight fight was against human nature. It was staged. None of this is conjecture. Do better please.
There is zero evidence that anyone fired at trump. There is zero evidence Crooks fired his gun.
That’s just defensive adolescent reduction to absurdity from you. No pigeonchess please.
My narrative stands up to criticism. The “official nonstory” does not.
And I did. I stated that you cannot find fault in my narrative. If you provide a narrative other than mine, it is likely faulty because it is contrived.
hey man you go ahead and do whatever makes you feel smug n superior inside
