Glass making in Jamestown's 1608 glasshouse

            A franchise needs to have profits or else what is a franchise for? Industrialization was set up from almost the getgo in the New World with the manufacture of glassware in the Jamestown Settlement so that it could be profitable for the Virginia Company of London.

Besides having invented and implemented the moving assembly line for mass production, skyscrapers, the elevator, the telephone, and Wonder bread, American industrialization knowhow nowadays makes super strength gorilla glass, quantum computers, artificial intelligence, intra- and interstellar spacecraft, self-driving cars, propulsion drives, cancer-curing biotech products, financial derivatives, stickies, and hamburgers (including pure vegetable ones that taste just like a beef burger).
