Corporations are just very large groups of people. Yes, people suck, singly and in groups, but the majority of what corporations do benefit society. Fun fact. 500 years ago it was fashionable to complain about the craftsman guilds.... the more things change....
@@BobbyIronsights corporations don't benefit society. all work is done through the working class, the people who make the decisions are the ones who get money from other people's hard work. any good deeds they do are calculated to see if it would benefit them. The incentive under a capitalist system is to stay at the top and suck everyone dry, that's why everything today is so bad and costs so much. read Marx, he wasn't a perfect economist but he saw everything that's happened from a mile away
Every crafts people who are dedicated to preserving their cultures and heritages deserved more recognition and better financial aids and stable markets. Skilled people like these are too precious seeing their arts dying and getting consumed by a greedy world where everyone is trying to get rich 'working less with minimum efforts'!! This channel has done great job.
It's not just the get rich crowd. It's our need to have everything "fast" and overnight. These products take time and lots of effort. The consumer's mindset would need to change
How about machine typist? Scribe that rewrites book copies? No? Just a romantic trades? If something isn't needed by almost anybody this isn't a job it's a hobby. Sorry
11:52 - They are going to close or have already closed this noodle factory because of the pollution it produces. They were milling a locally grown bitter cassava that is very high in starch and cyanogenic glycosides. The rinse water after soaking the cassava has enzymes that convert the glycosides into hydrogen cyanide, and the drainage water, untreated, flowed into a local creek and killed all the aquatic life. When they talk about the quality of their product they mean that all the cyanide went downstream instead of into the noodles.
they are still operating there. I search Indonesia news, no mentioning they are closed. and there is recent news about their business in Indonesia news last month. it's like culture food, as long as there's people work in factory, they will still operating
They don't look ridiculous in the Netherlands when they're worn ... and worn by use ... in fact they look charming in a time where people are paying ridiculous prices for shoes often made at furious paces by underpaid and overworked employees. So please continue to enjoy something comfortable, natural and made with ❤.
@1dK628 You're close. In a way they are, since most items are designed and manufactured for right-handed people. Lefties either have to learn to adapt or have to order special.

I just love any traditional crafts. The craftsman always makes it look so easy although it's only years of experience to make it look simple. All these crafts should be honoured, but unfortunately they will probably die out in moderation society. Sometimes the old ways are the best ways and shouldn't be lost, no matter how much modern technology tries to replicate old skills. If you have any old skills, pass the knowledge on. If you don't have the skills, recognise them and pay what those years of experience are really worth!
Edgar is the man, he's about teaching and teamwork and passing down the craft and skills to the next generation..........I've lost my cool and had blowouts at work before 😢but being man enough to put it aside and patch things up to get the job done and then have a pint after, is something my grandfather taught me.......but truthfully in his time there was a war raging on😮 and my other grandfather was flying in the pacific 😮 and both grandma's were nurses ❤ but they both told me to just leave difference aside and man up❤
People are different........but truthfully we all want the same thing. So please put differences aside, buck up and get the job done so you can get home to your family.........believe it or not, but that dude you are beefing with just wants the same thing.......... he might be wrong, or started it .......but truthfully that's not enough to fight for......so be the better man and support your family and sleep in your bed❤ because jail racks are awful 😴
Not sure what Edgar is doing now, but Waterford Crystal hasnt been made in Waterford since 2009... a lot of the craftsmen went to Galway Crystal and Tipperary Crystal..
It is INFURIATING that you do not link these business pages that have options to support them online... Even just listing the business names so people can look them up on their own or simply where they are in the world... Come on, Insider...
I used to work for GC corporate in Westlake Village during 2002-2011 was the percussion special order and file control for the department. Meaning I used to enter into the system anything new with descriptions cost and retail upc numbers and billing info. Was a fun time.
The man that paints clogs is funny. "My wife needs a lot of money." He had patience to have such a business. $50 euros per painted pair of clots is so cheap, considering the cost of two hours of his life.
@@Frontline_view_kaiser Not really. It would make for a decent salary. But as with any business, you still have to deduct your running costs, tools and materials. Then there is no paid vacation, no sick leave... the reason these trades are dying is that they don't pay too well.
@@Frontline_view_kaiser Don't forget taxes, your healthcare cost (even little in Europe), tool costs, material costs, time, etc. 🙂25EUR is almost nothing.
@@unebonnevie What do you mean? That's twice the minimum wage. I know Software developers that make less here in Germany. Hell I work for a Belgian Company and I only make 20. If you work full time at 25EUR per hour your well above the average income in the Netherlands and tool/material costs won't make much of a dent in your monthly income
@@Frontline_view_kaiser What? You have no idea what you are talking about. 25/hour is great. As an employee. As a self employed person, that's not gonna keep you above waters. Material, tools, healthcare, taxes - you simply cannot even remotely compare 25€ as an employee with making 25€ in your own business.
As an aspiring amateur bladesmith i thought i was getting pretty decent i know of course there are sooooo many much more talented craftsmen/women out there but i still aspire to be the best i can be and learn and i found the last dagger maker super inspirational both in how much i have to learn and how much can be done with such a simple setup i also work out of a backward workshop no fancy machines here just handmade specialty tools and basic hand tools with some super basic power tools and he can make beautiful art like this. I find it mesmerizing there is so much complexity to what they are doing way more than just smacking hot things with a hammer... amazing...
I grew up with thyroid issues (referred to as "goiter" in the video). An alternative to using processed iodized salt is regular/alternative un-iodized salt plus kelp in tablet form daily. We were told to switch to iodized salt, but the specialist also had us taking kelp alomg with the thyroid tablets since kelp (basically seaweed) is high in easily absorbed iodine.
cheese story started wonderfully...before effects of dairy farming became apparent. netherlands is basically saying "our culture and heritage > environment for the future".
your fast and easy automated production to make cheap alternatives of these things affect earth in such a way that it will take many lifetimes to cure earth
@@auro1986 my? I'm sorry but I don't run dairy's but I have worked on some there is nothing cheap or fast about it. You cannot rush nature nor would one want to. My suggestion is to think before you accuse those you do not know.
Handcrafted goods are worth the money. Unfortunately today, people would rather buy an item every year for 10 years, vs paying half for an item that lasts 10 years. It's quite sad. They only see the initial cost, and consider quality. Chinese stuff is cheap for ba reason lol
I would like to ask for a links to these manufacturers. It is kind of sad to make popular video about the last generation of craftsman and do not support them at all.
As has been said elsewhere, that would be considered as advertising by many distributors. I have seen youtubers get around it by saying they will pin links in the description, but for this, to have it in the documentary post itself, that would involve creating some sort of additional cover commentary, something beyond just posting someone else's documentary.
While traditional Dutch clogs are often celebrated as an enduring craft, it's questionable whether their supposed durability truly outweighs the practicality and comfort of modern footwear, making their continued production more about nostalgia than necessity.
This is true, here in Norway we use a modern hybrid type called "tre sko", having the comforts of modern shoos and the sturdiness and durability of the old ones, easy to put on, since they have that half shape like sandals. Mostly popular with older people thought
same question goes for leather only boots. however it all depends on your daily life and the selection of footwear for the activity you use it for. for clogs i do not see myself on long walks, heavy load working environment, and driving. Everything else other than those 3 activities I can see myself using clogs due to durability. however foot has to have supporting arch designs .
The man making them is also more a tourist attraction than he makes a living out of selling the clogs. His shop is a souvenir shop and he attracts the tourists with showing how it was done, as there only a handful of dutchman would walk every day on it. Also if you would convert the labor for making the clog into him making an average dutch salary, they wouldn't sell at all because it would wat expensive.
As an American, and I love being an American, I love my country, but this type of craftmanship and level of devotion to a job has been lost over here. I love seeing this stuff and would love to see it really take precedence here in the states.
"if we rebuild it it will require a lot of work" So instead of making durable kilns that will last a long time it's better for you to constantly repair the one that is falling apart? Fixing it up daily is more work then a properly made one.
Keep in mind that they don't have the money on making a new and durable one, instead they use some of the coconut to be more productive and so no coconuts are left behind. I'm impressed tbh.
Well I have a few ideas maybe help on the farming side. If farmers stir the soil on the fields then spray the poo it gets soaks in the ground better and he'll lot less run off before seeding. Then before harvest spray the poo on the higher fields farthest from the lake and let the rain do the spread it out across the fields equals less poo run off in the lake. Last idea is the simplest give or sell the extra poo to places like Africa, Iraq ,developing countries three world countries
7:57 Wow I can relate, a wife needs money. Even 50 € seems too cheap for a pair of these nice shoes. There’s so much craft and love in those I would pay twice that much.
¡Gracias Business Insider por compartir este fantástico vídeo! 🙌 Estoy completamente de acuerdo en que estas carreras realmente requieren toda una vida para dominarlas. 👏 Eso me genera curiosidad por el desarrollo de la tecnología en estas profesiones. ¿Están las máquinas modernas cambiando la forma en que abordamos y trabajamos en estos campos? 🤔🔧

Would definitely not be what we call GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) in the US manufacturing world... But we'd also be stuffing it with fillers and preservatives here so who can say anyone's doing anything correctly 🤷
Very old American. I am so impressed with your work ethic. We used to have this, but now we are nothing.but fat and lazy. I pray that we will remember who we are.
Agreed! How can anyone say that farming is causing air pollution in LosAngelas?!?! That’s crazy! Monocrop agriculture is certainly an issue, but cows aren’t the reason air pollution in overpopulated cities is a problem. If this were the case, the air pollution would not have cleared up drastically during the pandemic. Cows didn’t stop pooping because there was a pandemic, but cars did stop driving. It’s definitely not hard to understand, if one simply tries using logic rather than emotion or ideology.
That Rembrandt painting (mosaic) is incredible. Its a shame people don't value tradition. The Netherlands should just ship their manure to low nitrogen places who need it for their soils. They SHOULD NOT sell out. Take it from us banking slaves in the US.

@@GenuinelyCurious120 They may not be inexpensive, but many of the ones I have also are not cheap and have lasted generations - something you often cannot say about the inexpensive, mass produced items.
Most are of course niche products. Some can be even considered art. Yet the sad thing about a shrinking niche market is that only the best will prevail, until it disappears. completely.
I felt bad for the Dutch clog-makers that their art is dying and their sons do not want to take over the business, I'd feel responsible to keep my family's art alive.
