Hey stupids. Consumer use of film went out of fashion because digital imagery became more economical than film (without being federally subsidized.)
People could take hundreds of shots and only print the ones they liked, which is a huge savings.
What energy is available right now that can satisfy the required energy needed by America and is cheaper?
Well in the mines, that’s a shot in the dark.
Gosh, I wish dildocrats would move to Venezuela–they would be in utopia.
Imbeciles. Pointless to tell liberals that government statists using a global warming hoax as an excuse did not decree that Fotomat be forced out of business.
Bring back “Democrat running against Cruz feels responsibility….”
Anonymous made a stupid statement. I replied. I would like a response. You can do it BFH, MJA? Pretty please.
For what’s its worth, I spent the afternoon developing film, scanning negatives now. Damn, should have opened up two more stops with that deep red filter!
What did socialists use for light before candles?
Electricity
“Hey liberals. The Jerk Store called and said they miss you badly. huh ha! “
God they really are pissed off at Trump.
Bringing back coal jobs. OMG that is fantastic
He should say he will build 25 nuke plants in each state.
The majority of our electrical energy comes from burning coal
What really killed Fotomat?
Someone tried to develop photos of Chelsea Clinton.
True story!
These same ignorant leftists are screaming “fight for fifteen”, thus ushering in automation that will ensure countless jobs become obsolete.
Way to go lefties!
Suck on THAT meme…
BREAKING: Democrats announce that as soon as they’re done making healthcare “affordable” for everyone, they plan to totally resurrect 19th Century Marxism to “save” the world (…the realities and proven track record of Communism, National Socialism and Fascism be damned).
There. Fixed it for ya.
Oh my goodness. Not sure that expending a single brain cell on these carbon based consumers of oxygen is worth my time.
Fotomat is too recent to go back to.
How about that 7th Century Muslim knowledge base?
Surely we should bring back Goat Bordellos.
What’s that? They never left?
Bring back the buggy whip makers! Which Republican President got rid of the buggy whip makers???
We need more buggy whips!
Remind me again which preezy blamed ATMs for unemployment, which preezy blamed terrorism on global warming, which preezy made it NASA’s mission to coddle 7th century barbarians, which preezy ……..
And now you know why the Nazi brownshirts beat the tar out of communists every chance they got.
Fotomat went out of business because of new technology and competitive, free market Capitalism. The coal industry went under because of politics dirtier than coal dust, national sabotage, international interference, political correctness, a horribly corrupt president who was trying to take America down, Soros, and government grants awarded to those who agreed with our communist president. Level the playing field and watch coal resurrect. On the other hand, because fracking makes natural gas so cheap, coal has competition. May the best BTU win.
I sold my two Canon AE-1’s to a collector. Those were
some fine cameras!
Had a friend on one of my boats from the Southwest that had a sister
that worked at a Photomat (early ’90’s). Their policy was to
collect all nudes and destroy them, not return them to the owner.
So, about once a quarter he received a “gift” from sister of a
shoe box sized collection of nudes, porn, etc that had been
confiscated. It was great stuff!
My grandsons have some film in their underwear. It is as old as your post.
It is terribly dark in a coal mine – perhaps it’s a good place to develop film?
Well, no thanks to the Left, Natural Gas is pretty cheap now. Most people are unaware that Phillips (I think) found 1000 years of NG in Alaska. Not to mention Fracking discoveries. But I’m all for coal as well. We have over 200 years worth of coal. We should fire every coal plant back up, and cut off the Lefty subsidies at the knees.
