In Uncommon friends, henry firestone walks up to this 22 year old working on the the light fixtures during the 1910 recession
"hey are those your men putting in the light fixtures on the street?"
"Yep, is there a problem?"
"Yeah, where are you getting the money to pay them?"
"Well, we're trading favors, I promised the people I sold these houses that there would be working streetlights"
These people were just better people than we are.
These two men are known today as the problem with america.
