Ukuhlamba impahla yoluntu yokuqala kuvela eMelika ekuphakameni koxinzelelo olukhulu, xa oomatshini bokuhlamba babengafumaneki kubantu abaqhelekileyo baseMelika. Ngo-1934, igumbi lokuqala lentengiso lezentengiso lavulwa kwisixeko saseTell eTexas, esekwe kumgaqo wokuzilungiselela. Nangona ekuqaleni kwigumbi lokuhlamba iimpahla kwakukho oomatshini bokuhlamba ngombane, ngokukhawuleza bathandwa kwaye bachitha indleko yomniniyo.

Isidingo esiphezulu soluntu kwihlazo loluntu kunye neendleko eziphantsi zokufunyanwa kwazo zimiselwe kwangaphambili ukuba zenzeke ngobunzima bendawo yokuzibekela i-30-40s. Nangona kunjalo, njengamaMelika amaninzi anyuka, abantu abaninzi baseMelika baqala ukufumana oomatshini babo bokuhlamba, kodwa isenzo sokusebenzisa iimpahla zikawonke-wonke sisasazwa ngokubanzi e-US ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Siyintoni isizathu?
Kwiibhokisi ezinjalo, abantu bafumana impahla yangaphantsi kwimpahla yokuhlamba iimpahla, eNew York. Ngo-1929 unyaka
Okokuqala, abantu baseMelika basondele kwimbono yoqoqosho: ukugcina amanzi, umbane kunye nendawo kumakhaya. Iinkonzo zokuhlambela zixabiso eliphantsi, ungahlamba iingqekembe okanye amakhadi entlawulo ekhethekileyo.
Okwesibini, uninzi lwabemi bemihlaba babekwa ukuba bafake umatshini wokuhlamba kubantu abasusa izindlu. Abathandi bendawo yoyika ukuvuza kunye nemijikelezo emifutshane. Ke ngoko, abathengi abaphambili beempahla zikawonke-wonke ngabo bangakwaziyo ukuhlamba kwindawo yokuhlala. Nangona kunjalo, abazityebi kakhulu abantu baseMelika amaxesha ngamaxesha ukusebenzisa iinkonzo zempahla, ukuza apha amaxesha ngamatyeli unyaka ukuhlamba izinto ezinkulu: iingubo, iipilisi, igumbi, iibhedi, njl.

Okwesithathu, iimvavanyo zoluntu zanamhlanje zenza inqanaba eliphezulu lokuthuthuzela abathengi. Ukongeza koomatshini bokuhlamba, oomatshini bokumisa banikiwe, izixhobo zokufundisa kunye nezinye izixhobo eziququzelela kakhulu inkqubo. Kutshanje, unokufumana iTVEVVERS, i-Wi-Fi kunye noomatshini beekofu, ukuvumela abathengi ixesha elimnandi. Njengommiselo, uninzi lwezinto ezimbi ze-American Laundiries Umsebenzi ojikeleze iwotshi, ekwindawo yokuhlala yezakhiwo zegumbi okanye kufutshane neevenkile ezinkulu, oko kukuthi, nangona abantu abaxakeke kakhulu banokuzisebenzisa.
Okwesine, ngokweendlela zentlalo, igumbi lokuhlambela likwanohlobo lokuphumla nokucamngca, ukuvumela abantu baseMelika ithuba lokuphelisa kwiingxaki ezingxamisekileyo.
Okokugqibela, ungalibali ukuba ishishini lokuhlamba iimpahla lishishini apho imali eninzi ijikelezwe. Ke, ngokwedatha esemthethweni ka-2011, eUnited States malunga ne-35,000 yokuhlamba iimpahla, ingeniso iyonke efikelela kwi-5 yeebhiliyoni ngonyaka.
