History: The Ford Model A would go where horses wouldn't and saved Californians after an earthquake in San Francisco in 1906, but it wasn't Henry Ford's best design. He was looking to make a car for rural America and that was the Model T. A mass-produced car that was affordable and made it so people could get better medical treatment in different locations, go on vacations, and be alone with loved ones However, as Henry Ford's company grew so did his "social engineering". Paving the way for his darker side in History.

7:10 : That $5 per day wage came with ANOTHER string attached: When you started work at the company, you were only paid $2.34 per day. At the end of one year, if you were still employed, your salary was retroactively increased to $5 per day. Basically, you got a one-year bonus the size of all of your entire first year's paychecks combined, and then earned $5 per day thereafter. But if you quit (or were fired) before that first year was out, nada. THIS was one of the main tricks that kept employees loyal.

@gamingforever9121 6 месяцев назад

And it makes sense you would only want to give employees that could handle the work and extra bs that money.

@ggwp638BC Месяц назад

Also also, the amount paid retroactively was basically enough to buy a Model T. So even this extra cost would almost certainly return to them as profit on a Model T sale.

I like how you avoid lionizing Ford and explore his micromanaging and dictatorial tendencies that would've ruined his company if not for grounded minds like Couzens.

@fillosof66689 9 месяцев назад

The series often strays too far into the opposite extreme: becoming obsessed with tearing down the formerly lionized Great Men. I don't know enough about early XXth century American history to argue all of their points, but for one example their 'foreshadow' skits were entirely unnecessary, broken up the flow of the episodes and served only to hyper focused on the negative aspects of Ford's character that had yet to play a major role at the moment in time those episodes were describing.

@@Nostripe361 Even not allowing them to drink on the clock was considered enough to get people to quit on him. It was standard practise for workers to drink beer or alcohol to get them through the 12-16 hour work day and give them the energy to power through on 1 meal a day with drinks through the day. It was not uncommon for owners to buy beer for workers to stop their grumbling about wages and work conditions and exhaustion. I think Ford was drunk men as a liability though, imprecise and uncaring. If they were sober like him, then they must also be as precise and care as much as he did about the mechanics.

Clarification at 1:39: The BLOCK of a Model T was one piece of metal. This is called a unified block and it contains the cylinders, coolant and oil passages, and crankcase in one heavily machined chunk of metal. Older designs (And even some modern ones like large marine diesels) have each cylinder (which houses the pistons) with its cooling jackets and oil passages *Separate* from the crankcase, which houses only the crankshaft. This was a more expensive method, but easier to produce, especially for smaller companies as the more complex machining was broken up into smaller chunks

That’s an awfully monotonous dish Ford is cooking (7:30). I thought that the whole point of a melting pot was to mix flavors, not cover them up.

"Telling them to pay when they can." I love that so much. Putting aside profit for people.

Not exactly. He kept track of what cars he handed out and to what organization/fire hall/government with signed bills. He took advantage of the situation by selling them cars on loan instead of just loaning them cars and hoping they bought them/repaid him after the disaster was over. He was a capitalist after all, and he wasn't letting money fly out the door.

It is arguably a marketing campaign too, so not entirely for the people alone, though I suppose his terms were generous

That's ... not exactly what happened. It was an excellent advertising campaign and he *did* get paid for every car in the end. Cars which, remember, were not selling in California before the crisis at all. Ford only made money off of this deal. No charity happened here, only pragmatic recognition of the fact that immediate payment wasn't practical.

@littlekong7685 8 месяцев назад

@@notapuma The cars were sitting unsold and unused and unwanted. he could have given the cars away as an advertisement and for goodwill, and lost little but waste stock he was going to have to pay to destroy. Instead he made them pay and it worked out for him in the end as they actually liked them once they had them. But he was not a man of charity.

@extrahistory, call it nostalgia, call it what you want but that moment at 9:16 when the original Extra Credits soundtrack kicked in just gave me goosebumps almost brought tiers to my eyes. How long has ExtraCredits been around for? I mean the original original gaming-related videos, at the very beginning? Have we hit a decade yet?

I JUST learned about the Ford Melting Pot in the book "American Nations", which is about the big cultural nations that comprise America. It was one of many other tactics Yankeedom used to assimilate immigrants, out of a fear of losing their Puritan identity.
