You're listening to the dollop on the all things comedy network. This is a bilingual american history podcast, where each week I water, drinker man with shoes lover of cantaloupe. David Anthony reads a story from american history to his friend Gareth Reynolds, who has an idea what the topic is going to be about. I remember one time when you'd private doing that bit for about say three months we were on the road and we were out somewhere and someone said something about it. We were like chilling with a friend of yours or something it's hole mentioned it and I go I'm not, and I wasn't kidding I got it's fun. I go. I think it's done now, though this is three years ago as like, I think we finally like are good on it, and- and here we are yeah so later and there's Comedy thing where if something starts at five hundred

Funny and then- and then keep going and it gets not funny and then it just gets irritating and then and there are people on their village other and then it gets crazy and then it gets funny again and then it gets not funny and then people, it's sad and then I'm not sure where we are on that slow, slow death of the soul and then Finally, I am in there hilarious like and then it's just I don't. I don't what's happening and then a lantern like to learn Does this person need mental health help? That's we are yet. This is This is a cry for help like a bi weekly American. Oh sorry, how you not seen that I've been just desperately begging for some sort of help like this is a cry like this is a desperate. You know what you're like you're like Michael Douglas in falling down, if he just didn't like fully like, if he, if he was just like I'm going to slowly, take it out on

It is instead it just having one crazy day where you live. I want breakfast lunch time in this fast food restaurant it's better. That movie been if everyone just call them Duggar baggage. That was actually called nostril. The quote is Jim Jim I am therefore give my God gave ok live far back and this is not going to come up signally clock part now. Hidden with the puppy resent say, part about action. In this regard-

I want to thank Sarah surgeon who did the research for this image? Third, thirty one year of our Lord Jesus Christ, George Mortimer Pullman was born in western New York state. his father James was a carpenter who invented a way to lift multi story buildings and put them onto new foundations using Jack Screws, also known as screw jacks screw jacks city screw jack. Is that that's a porn star if you've ever seen screw jack work? He is a monster and by the way, when I hear that technology, I'm even now, I'm like that's impressive. Oh no! I can't even imagine like it's just the craziest thing to me, that they lifted up buildings and move them

its building, I mean I didn't put it in here while talk about it, but so George quit school was fourteen years old and he got a job as a star clerk and then, as a cabinet maker, his dad dies in eighteen. Fifty three so he's like twenty two it and then George takes over the family business eyes, contract use, which is moving. building veil buildings that by by screwed accusations making contracts of cities and and so buildings

it was so shipping canals can be widened. So wait a minute you're telling me this guy's basically screw Jackman yeah. Will he play the Wolverine? It's comical to me, because the name is near Hugh Jackman's and that is that's. It's got mica fine, it's alright time back in go ahead! Dave. I just had to point that out that that sorry, but you gave me the you- gave me a lot to to do it, and so they have all that premier baby and I said sorry go ahead, it's a this is a not great start start go ahead. Do we met you, but yeah? So George also had a very eerie ability to turn a profit money. Guy.

Eighteen, fifty nine he he most nine Chicago was built on a low bog and ass the city. Bigger streets were swamped with mud and that that combined with open sewers sees this, as I have not ideal as a guy- it's like hates Chicago sports. This is just too much it's just so so that they I mean it was just so literally they to be the media city. People said the mud in this was so deep that it could drown a horse. God, that's very, never ending story so because that there's collar others, tuberculosis, there's typhoid. I can't imagine what being on a street and being like that

it just went under it happens anyway, to the cafe that happens in anybody who has a horse. Slash, quick sand. Fetish, I mean that's the place to be that's my fetish. I've always watched that I'd screw Jackman So George's construction crews use their dad's Jack Screw or screw jack to raise these large buildings out of the swamp, put them on higher foundations out of the mud and sewage, like there's one Arizona tell that he moved while everybody was in it like they didn't have, of course, yeah. Now, there's no issue with that. I mean what what is the problem? It's just very simple: and I we just wanted to let everyone now that if there is a fire drill, we do need ever to go outside. Also the hotel is going to be moving cities, while you're here so.

If you feel it shake it all or anything like that. Don't worry we're just relocating, oh and if you have a car parked where we in our parking lot that you can just go, get it and move it to our new spots, exciting so yeah just and if you go out come back. If there's not a hotel, we moved it so just stay in the pool will now be across the street. Yes and the pool is are across the street and again, if you don't want to, when the pool just swim on the street, because the street is basically a river. So just go there and try to think. If there's anything else, Continental is six to ten and yeah and the hotel's going to be moving locations and entirely so yep. That's it check out the Levin and if you feel it shaking it's just because the hotel.

It's going to a completely different space. Okay! So there's a ton of contracts to do this, George is from a very successful show. The eyes, a really fast growing center of industry railroads are being laid all over the Eu S. Nearly every single major Trans Cardinal RE railway line goes to Chicago so passage, but it's just kind of like swampy. Why would she cargo popular if it was just kind of I don't I don't know I mean I think, just because industry started the deep dish today it is in debate as UK you're not going to find a better deep, definitely water or better deep, deep creation. They, I don't want to find another deep dish Pisa, because I dont like a like. What's the matter She you never. You don't like to feel like you don't like to go in a coma.

do aka adult know, and I would like to be able to shit again also, instead of just having your cheese party. That's all that's on your bucket list then enjoy it. But if you're, if you're looking for a goal, bowel movements have, I got to have dinner for you. It comes out- and I know I've. Thank you so much I poop! I don't wanna watch that well for fifteen bucks and screw jack dot com. You can now watch it. I know. Okay,. Okay. So so I the rails are being laid, all the. U S, they're all coming to Chicago Passenger travel has been transformed by the train, obviously crossing the country by stage coach took a month now it's a week, but it's still a week. People still want to do it in comfort, and so, as

George was traveling himself. He saw that the sleeping cars on passenger trains were not great. There are dirty their noise ease, stuffy very uncomfortable once Adler said it was like quote sleeping on a runaway horse. I mean this guy come on. You got it. We gotta put this guy in the back of a horse and be like say it's not that bad. Do you understand now why that comparison was unable to your runaway horse? Talk now buddy, I fell off and that I was trampled well. That would not have happened. The sleeping car eat those words, George knew because what was happening with the rails that that traveling across the country was going to become mainstream, everyone was going to start doing it so comfortable by the way. Mainstream was also the main strip in Chicago to St One

optimal sleeping cars. We're gonna be a huge moneymaker. He saw that so by the late eighteen fifties. He was working with investors and and mechanics to build a passenger coach car that could be converted into a sleeper car, so he's taking is taken these passenger cars and then jazz em up converting them and okay yeah it's like a pimp, my sleeping and eighteen. Sixty George went to Colorado during the gold rush. Gold rush- dare I say Gore, the gorge rush, who is also the gorge rush, was wild? Did you know that happens around Thanksgiving when people are getting their place? Settings ready, there's people it's like: they don't talk about that and in the history books like If you're in school, more cards up in this About a budget not there's more,

gorgeous river than I ever anticipated. We got so many gourds. We got hordes of Gawd, I told them to gorge up in their mouth guards or the gorge rush imagined society. If we'd had the Lord Rush, I think it would be much better, so he goes out of sky. He. He sets up a little shop at a boom town, hee hee is running a general store, a crushing mill saloon. He just knows like he open a business in a in a gold rush, town and you'll make money, and he he racist. I opened a lot of businesses and a gorgeous town tonight, yeah that dims, that was bad People were not interested in that area, so he also raise cattle. He got into real estate and he set up a quasi bank that dealt in gold does so makes money right in eighty sixty three goes back to Chicago drafted into the civil war, but

as enough money. So he hires a substitute to serve for him in the union army. I didn't see where we are. When we are aware yeah, you could yet sort of tag team like wrestlers, just hold your hand out, like I'd hoped I don't like I'm sorry, I'm rich. Could I not do the war thing? I kick. I just can't it seems so strange for the elites ten. I really does its very odd. So God it's not a thing anymore. yeah I ate so at eighteen, sixty seven, he married Harriet, Amelia, singer known as Hattie. Okay sure he was right. Her dad was that's what we called him. Her dad was a very rich Chicago Canal Builder,

I've made all these routes where all the horses- these are mine. Yes, this I drought ponies. Have you seen mainstream we're all the business is there a hopping, so he was very ill when they got married and they actually married right beside her father's deathbed That's how I want hot we're, not saying I do until his eyes and then once he is dead, we're going to roll him off and consummate this motherfucker for consummate. Upon the father so that year, after nine years of work on the sleeper cars, he incorporated the palace, sorry, the Pullman Palace Car company. Well, that's a long time.

By the way yakking on this, so he's yeah yeah, so it it does great the next twenty five years. He has incredible success. He becomes a household name. Pullman. Cars were synonymous with just fancy. Luxury travel and Pullman becomes a noun. Wow, that's voice he's one of the first guys. So what would you? What would you? How would you use Pullman as a noun like what, like that guy he's a real Pullman like he's doing great or he's fancy yeah? That's a good question I mean I guess it's the same way. I guess when you use apple or you know. Oh okay, I see what you're saying I was like. You mean Gwyneth, Paltrow's, yeah and yeah, okay, sure yeah, it's just I get it

so he be he. He worked really hard. He was one of the first people to purposefully build a brand right right, so did he he would take reporters on these fancy. Champagne trips in his was cars he'd lend them to presidents the the Pullman company at when Lincoln died. The company spread a story that Lincoln's body was taken as Springfield in a Pullman car and don't forget it was in the moment. Isn't it amazing we've been branding at long the like

brand idea like if, like brand integration, has been like that's right and we even had a little hat space for him to lay down, because that's just life it opposes comfortable dead. Guys wanna ride in Poland ever am Likud's dying. Wish was to be nothing but a pop, while they are, he was close, would Lincoln in Mary. The story was that Mary Todd Lincoln had demanded the. One car, so she could ride to the funeral and comfort, but that never happened married to Mary Todd Lincoln didn't go to the funeral, so I'm afraid I I could when they grieve properly in the Pullman Pullman convenient cars are unbelievable. It is how you feel regal, no matter what the occasion my husband was just shot in the back of his weird hat by some assassin, but tell you when I'm an opponent, it feels like he's still,

I forget all about it. Abraham is still with us. I don't even remember that his brains were blown all over somebody else. Pullman Pullman. I was covered in the fragments of my husband's skull, but boy what a cappuccino, Pullman luxury cuts, the only way to ride or die So that's stories, people still I've John Wilkes, both the the way I want to be transported to my next prison. Is it a Pullman? Now? That's luxurious car Pullman, yes, so at the story is still about. People still believe that that's true today, a lot of people getting It was just to tell a lie made up by the Pullman company. That's good get Martin Pullman wanted. I mean terrible. Marketings Pullman wanted middle class customers to basically upgrade

To a fancier train experience than was available on the standard sort of passenger car, I'm selling subprime options for some of the people who would like to get it and it's expensive it he charges them. twice what like a normal, normal labor would make in a day but but they're getting there value. It's a really nice experience and opponent the to spend a day's. And then the way you would work as you would buy a train ticket and then you would buy from the. call company, then you would buy directly from them the upgrade, so it's it's like clear in the end, is exactly like clears it's this second, this second very business. That's able to up within it be amazing? If we had a government run

thing like clear: stop stop where they that, isn't it gather year, Eyeball Data Biomed, scan and that the government and then you will have to use clear but Dave, then what I feel like were answering to stop here when I go through airports now, so it's a given take yeah. No, I mean that's just crazy! That's crazy! So the most normal rail cars had eight wheels. Pullman said sixteen! That's where I put double the wheels they right. Our damp and springs lighter wheels. So it's a small.

The ride there and they lit with gas chandelier years. They have insulated windows and doors air filtered by a modern ventilation system. The higher grade ones, so, there's different, there's different levels of Pullman cars to the higher grade ones would have a dining car with over eighty dishes offered from oyster and lobster to local Well, the game Elk Loin, you know it's, it's gonna get a little bit of that train. That mates of training

Please to everyone. I mean it's just that's amazing, to hear opulence just said I mean yeah, so it's kind of the first time where people are having the option to like genuinely enjoy travel. The spoiler travel yeah exactly before, then it was just like you'd be like well, we lost two cats are pretty spoiled, not that bad nineteen extra. Ultimate was a custom made car that was basically just for really really really rich. They it had a stateroom, a parlor, a smoking lounge a kitchen in this in the one tat has one car: that's just fancy as shit for the really since car really route taken apart, it's a cup, it's a car apartment, it's a carpet compartment, it's a compartment or its.

parka, so really really rich people would it was special Imagine on wheels, they went they would outfitted themselves, they would put in gold plated plumbing marble baths. Jewel saves venetian mirrors like it was just like Where would I put my for the drive and all that lovely a marble bath, a train, damn your marriage? If they got it's real, there's nothing better than being in your marble bath and looking out and seeing the poor suffering, people just makes the water feel that much more refresh so George was big into luxury himself. He wore a prince Albert Coat even in the summer

hausers patent leather shoes, that's a coat that you have peers, that's right, heinous! That's right! He wrote around in a polished carriage that was pulled by the best horses. His driver was in very his home in Chicago. Had a two hundred seat: theater a billiard room, a bowling alley, a pipe organ I'll palm room with a leaded glass dome. He lunch pretty much, every day at the Chicago Club with other rich guys at a table that became known as the millionaire's table, how cool that would sound so like that wouldn't sound like much today, but it was just a millionaire. He and his wife threw parties for, like hundred people, local politicians, presidents and civil war? Heroes like it was like the thing right.

Georgiana had a pretty good marriage, not not great because He was away from home, so much. Even when they were in New York, he would stay yet is mom is apartment and Patty would stay at home, and so there s a pretty sexy. He wasn't fuck another able. Dave White. You have to ruin it for a second I was like. I could see my yeah. Oh, oh, oh okay! Mr it's another thing: that's bad hop how'd. It became a hyper contract and started taking very frequent trips to very fancy, spas and just get away as well. I think that you just read you just boiled:

I have this terrible syndrome where I must tell how doctor it's just. I must have massages constantly what's wrong with me: oh George's, be

im usually annoyed and he would erupt in anger, and so he was hitch and the accusations against Hattie and their four kids. So they had four kids twin boys and two daughters. Now the girls are raised by a governess tutors and at boarding schools, but the boys were pampered and ignored pretty much, and then they got into a lifestyle of excess, sure sure wow, it's just so cyst. I've never heard anything like this with rich, but they were according to historian Jack Kelly, quote self indulgent, fops and huge disappointments to their father. Like I mean the list of like political children, big disappointments in my lifetime, as far as it just goes,

It's like I mean it's, because the politicians aren't heroes, either they're just kind of put up on these pedestals, but it's always funny when the kids are like. But it's like we talking with Billy Carter, a little bit like my dad's, the president, I'm a daddy yeah yeah, pretty much. So a lot of the a lot of the quotes in this come from Jack Kelly's book, the edge of anarchy. So George was a Republican he donated to black causes. He hired black coachman and household hat help, which was not the norm for Chicago in Chicago the rich, usually hired english servants he allowed

at customers to ride his cars but segregated, but it still upset southern whites and then so I it's it's it it. There was a time when our racism trumped our capitalism, that's right, yeah, opponent, car and then eventually we were, like you know at money. So Good, like businesses were just like. You know, a Pullman car was the subject of the the landmark segregation case, Plessy vs Ferguson, so oh wow yeah, that's crazy! Pullman! We are going to dictate the future of race in this country. Pullman is the only card where we will sell anyone access to it Pullman.

as racist as everywhere else Pullman, so Pullman hired former slaves as the porters for the cars. So so this is very. This is very progressive. Yeah sort of in a ok so he's right. making money he's hiring people who who couldn't get jobs elsewhere and he becomes the largest employer of black workers in the country but and Okay, there. It is Timmy hit me daddy, no, acts were allowed to work in manufacturing and the company only these porter jobs, okay,. Now, there's a reason for that, so so they they can't be promoted to conductors on the train, they're just porters and oh here's something George didn't pay them. Okay, I'm sorry that was a big part of

ok, okay. They worked for two hours, my God, what the fuck, so he so okay, so he is fully just bring it because I mean I'm a starts paying them. They start pay them a bit, but yeah he's base. I mean I can't think he's just finding the cheapest possible they as we go through this story. Everybody should be thinking about one hundred percent, a by one seventy nine, these quarters it made ten dollars a month working ninety hour weeks, wow wow, while at the same time conductors who just took tickets, made sixty five dollars a month. White white guys, I am aware of their working for tips Lee.

It's to a degrading situation. It encourages the porters to just cringing deference and to perform extra duties like shining shoes they were all called oh god. What is what that's like? It's so much worse than that? They were called George because

It was a american custom during slavery to call the slaves by the names of their oh, no, that is horrible from the get, but then to have that happening in a I may I can't depend you really had me up for a minute there. I was like alright, so this is a guy who understands that. Need to give it a chance in order to feel like now. It's actually is the wall. It's super complicated because you know very hard get a job after slavery is like I. In their in their galleys, its awesome to get a job, a pull on opponent garb

at the same time. It's so fucked like it's not like they're being treated in any way, shape or form close to equal to anybody else. It's just taking advantage of a a group of people who are are having a really difficult time, desperate. Yet, yes, and by the way, great that we've turned that into a broad economic policy it gets worse. Passengers sometimes insisted a porter sing or perform a dance. Actually, southern passengers- you just picture it- makes me sick literally makes. George also, in order to get a proper to just

George also had spies that worked throughout his his workplace that they would test the loyalty of workers they would report on people's behavior point. This guy was ahead of him that he hated unions, he hated organized labor, sure, I'm sure he did so profit surgeons at the Pullman company were often over fifty percent, which is insane its competitors insane Company was valued at sixty million dollars. Now then, in in eighteen, eighty George goes and buys a really big piece of land in an open, prairie fourteen miles south of Chicago, oh dear, he hires a designer and a landscaper and they design and build a planned community. George called the town.

Parliament can so what were were hidden that we're heading in early. I guess it opens up an eighty. Eighty two. It grows very quickly with over eight thousand six hundred residents in eighteen, eighty five,

So the residents of section it's a hundred fifty acres of tenements flat single family homes, workers got homes according to their jobs, so houses to formal cottages to workers tenements for Rick Workers and they get the these are white. These are white people. I I'd really to the. It was very difficult to determine if any of the black porters were living here, it sounds like mostly, they were living in bronze village cargo and I think it was segregated, but it was very murky sort of thing to research, so he he opened a pretty much

all white power living structure city named after yeah, I mean yeah, as you would do, then you'd there's no way, there's no way. Bezos isn't trying to think of how to do this and to circumvent this historical precedent. Sure I mean, I'm sure so he rented, I might need a sick bucket. So Pullman, you know he's renting to the his employees. It's between for in his initiatives between four dollars and fifty cents to over one hundred dollars a month streets are all named after the the gilded age. Industrial giants perfect the homes they have modern

stuff there gas they got water, they can indoor plumbing we soon sewage. They got garbage removal. So it's it's like top notch. As far as that stuff goes right, in Chicago, that's not the norm at all. Right, that's so this is advanced in that way. There's a fourteen rooms there's a firehouse there, stables parks playing fields, only one bar and that bar was inside the hotel Florence, which was named after his oldest daughter, there's two buildings with retail stores, meeting rooms, The Pullman bank, I over banks- everyone, is the Pullman Bank, which is owned by Pullman and then there's a huge one thousand a library, but you had to pay to use it.

And then he built the Greenstone church, it could also Carter gains and but George expected all denominations to share the church. that's the that's! The first thing: I've heard that yeah everything is owned, maintain and leased by the Pullman company. So it is a pure company, town, just crazy. Ah, like God, that's so weird is that, as that has that have I mean, even when I did the one on dominoes like the dude opened. His own little weird city, but it wasn't like I mean this is the first time since this is to the extreme. I mean it's happened. for smaller versions. But this is the biggest the the biggest right I mean

I opened like six flags, I mean essentially he he created more of a city than like a company town. So it's like if you're yeah you're, like I'm going to take over this town, so they just build one. So there's a man made lake like Vista which separates the residential section. Four, manufacturing side. I mean basically, he he didn't want. He didn't want people taking the train to work. He wanted them to be able to walk to work in like a couple of minutes. So the factory the factories built the Pullman Palace cars, towns, power, came from a giant three hundred and fifty ton engine and then the exhaust would go into Lake Vista by building forty miles from Chicago. He thought it would be isolated from the union radicals in Chicago which in Chicago we're talking Lucy Parsons Time,

It's really Haymarket affair like it's. I I like that. You think fourteen miles yeah, I don't think they're stretch. I don't think their quest for equality of travelers could I could hear, there's a river so he's a Georgia Pullman. It's like a. He thinks it's answer to the all the problems between labor and capital of right I mean, if you're

Merely right, that's right, and he because he right, he doesn't think there should be any conflict at all, because, yes, now it's pretty simple, just working poor for me pause. He he thinks by making this clean, healthy environment that that could be profitable and part of his brand is also trying to expand the brand. So he wants to prove that we are getting washing your people who people are really influenced by their environment, quote that decency, propriety and good manners are not unattainable luxuries for them. So he's basely, saying the filthy, filthy people. can have I made a day we open,

I mean, he's really he's really like. Look the filthy. The filthy peoples can also have a decent place and then there'll be better cogs. In my machine I mean that's what he's right so I'm like look. You know that that sort of opinion that like, if you take people out of the are you so he basically did it with Pullman cars. A lot of people thought that travelers would just make the the fancy cars really filthy by tracking in mud and spitting tobacco. But then, when people got the opportunity to be in a nice thing, they didn't do that, so he he thinks that'll work with the town right, so he thinks it's going to create civilized workers, and that would that would mean more money for him. That's what he thinks. What a good tired! Well I mean it is a little bit different thinking, because at this time most people think the with the way

you are when you're born it's just locked in and so he's kind of saying. Well, if you give people a better environment than if you give people a better environment, they'll be better workers. Yeah I mean that's, that's the part where it's there'll be decent employees, which is perfect for me, I'm looking it's that utopia. It's my does that basically he's. Almost there, he he gets the he gets the right parents just like he's Anybody given the right opportunity and an equal footing can can be some better, but he's not doing that. We can take a change and what they change there. We have a baby lacks they'll, be locked into my awesome environment and then they have to stay in my fact. These, though slowly start questioning, Already now just do what I tell them to so George. I mean he's just

like one thing he's doing: is selling residents water at a five hundred dollar markup gas if be there soon, don't worry history plan, argued fibre of his work, I do percent markup gas three hundred for summer I mean Chicago, is selling the water to him for almost nothing and then he's just jacking it up, so he will wood shavings from the the Pullman shops fuel, the boilers that power the engine in winter, the the company would cut ice off the lake and serve it to passengers in the cars. So a more ice, sir. Yes, I'd love it, a bit of eyes: oh, what a luxury the sewage from the town is pumped to farm where its use of fertilizer and then that's global trade by I should also it's all this. Just do you understand people when you put,

turn on the car you're. Actually getting the agriculture in your mouse isn't that annex little blue shirt in your toilet in your opponent house. I want you to think I'm making carrots those are future potatoes. The Pullman is also an amazing publicist. He didn't know. Chance was miss to use the town to advertise itself the company and build up his own brand. He built the the train station in Pullman, so travellers see the town from the best angle when they roll them. Well, good! Lord. Can you imagine that having the amount of money id like be able to have like that, as just like the I it's an unreliable fucking insane like to be like, I would try to think of how they'll best see the town when they come in from the train. You know Pullman

did he not ban any new building that was started. He you know press releases a widely reported. It becomes a tourist attraction how long until he starts stealing buildings in the night, just like yeah come out, get those screw. Jacks it to the town, becomes a tourist attraction and by eighty ninety three sixty two trains were stopping there Ray Day. Also people who look at this they see a town or guard garbage has picked up. Were lawns were mode there sidewalks as backyards one reporter wrote, the George Quote might be the Messiah of a new age of good good, good, good, good good. Well done there's another good referee good could call by the rebel. Yet olive oil, the great journalism

is this the new Jesus, good outfall? Really good, really go. I mean PETE Pip people are saying it the surfaces outside of it right there not seeing the dsl in eighteen. Ninety three twelve thousand people, women Pullman Sixty Some of them are opponent employees. Forty percent of all company employees are now living in Pullman and most Pullman workers are immigrants, like I said, the better, the job, the better your house, the better, but to workers. It's a company town Pullman is deducting rent from paychecks But Illinois bands that so he started giving workers to checks

one that was exactly equal to rent and then one that was what was left over after the rent was taken out. So he found a loophole by the way. Two checks is one of many, then. So the company would they'd give them the two checks. Then the company would pressure the employee right there to sign the check back over. Oh my god, that's fine! That's normal! That's a fine city! That's a fine town! If the worker didn't and took the to the bank, where the bank was owned by Pullman and then they'd be harassed at the bank, good good, really comfortable. That seems fine, that's how it works. That's how that goes, All right, we'll see you at the bank yeah, no seriously I'll lighted the bag. Finally, Lucas, finally alighted the bag. After he liar is Atlanta

the cash that check here soon to be fired, guy or no, yes, oh, you are well. This will be your last check that you, you should have given me. The option come, and this is it for you. Thank you for working for Pullman. You were a great boy. He gave me the choice, it's illegal, so the housing looks like barracks. There's: no There's no meeting places like this it no bars. There's that one bar as there's. Why not tell right a man to you? Would you would see me there a lot if I was a male, you wouldn't because it's off limits to workers, while MIKE now only for visiting businessmen who are at the hotel, God wow. So so to me, it feels like it.

is for first of all, the great lawns but believable that there's that a blade of crabgrass and so but you're creating there's not much for people to do outside of sort of purpose work. Yet I purposefully write a report for fun. A reporter goes there and he learn that the people don't want to talk to him because they're about quote company spotters, spies, everyday told you about that. That's, oh yeah, there's also spies in our town, poor. You really got raise a family, yeah, so this spies all over this town worker at what a comfortable place. It's great, I can't wait. This is so workers.

because they can't go to the Sloan and and George doesn't want them drinking, so they would go to Sloane's in the nearby town of Kensington. Could they have like booze in there I am sure they can booze in their houses, but so jerk, but then you'd like it pour a shot and you'd see like a little man inside the bottle. Like Mara, Salvatrucha George, it could evict tenants that sorry, George, could evict tenants on ten days notice. For any reason, he wanted sure that's fine, that's why they are called tenants'. Ten there's no towns ever meant. I don't like the way you looked at me, so bleak miser goodbye. enjoy living here? You don't live here anymore. Why? I dont know get your ass out of this city, but while you're doing it shouldn't you do it in a poem in Luxury Car Pullman Lodge

Ray cars, the perfect place to rescue a weary at after a day of being a victory for Burma, poem, it's also a city Beaumont and a man. There's no tongue government company, Shows a bite away. Company officials make all decisions the sky The board is all Pullman executives. Oh, my foreman company foreman would take workers to the voting polls to make sure they voted the way the company wanted chair. It's like our banking system at Pullman. If it were an election system opponent, it's all rigged, Pullman, don't step out of line will stab you opponent, Abraham Lincoln Guy. The church is empty because no congregation could afford the three hundred

or monthly rent. Well, how the Lord intended it to be! Lord, the Lord. You know the Lord created human He's buddy really referred to them as ten didn't remember that per day. A reporter from Harper's called the town Un American well wishing feudalism. So now, okay, okay, yeah some people are getting a gist of. What's going on Meanwhile, in Chicago it's it's just disgusting. The the rivers in Greece. I mean the river just looks like a rainbow from you know. You know, grace looks like a rainbow. That's why we put the idea in rank thief. That's how you get the crispy outside factories. Coal smoke just covers the city and the af af.

Home of such there's. Tons of slaughterhouses me packing plants. The poorer parts of town have open sewers, typhoid outbreaks. in eighty ninety one two thousand people have died of typhoid, one reporter called Chicago So the cesspool of the world, which you probably still think applies a lot more cesspool than the windy city's. So so, let's just come out. With the appropriate name is when somebody or an english visitor, an english visitor, said Chicago, had a quote on relieved ugliness wow. That is definitely an english purse and relieved ugly. So I mean that's why if the town of Pullman looks good right because yeah, because it's

The next two yeah it's like following, like it's like following an ugly person on a date. You know you look better you're sick, it's better! You know, you're, like we've set the pilot. We've reset the palette, and that is a great idea for a dating app guarantee that an ugly person will be in front of you in the that is that they they. That is what, because I remember when I was on tinder, they would have things where you could be like I'm a gold status or whatever that is totally a fee that should apply on there. You should pay like two ninety and just like fifty percent of the time you're going to follow a low rate be like that guy's grows. And then you see me back, there may not be better than the last may, So, while all this is this is this you, I go situation right, but then there's total justice

Gusting opulence of the rich mansion, which we talked about on Prairie Avenue and and on May first, the world's columbian exposition opens. There's one hundred thousand visitors come to see modern technology like light option oddities like two headed pigs and a U S, map made out of pickles Jesus Christ. wow do a too had a day that I too had come up. I believe, above all, it is quite a it's really. What's the idea there before that guy it now

I got there after he ate it, but it was really. I could still tell that there was a lot of it was, was pretty good and you know, but yeah he'd eaten a bunch of it. I mean that's the better, then the pig looked like it had one head stapled on that seemed adequate. They look like. I was another now either to meet. Look like an arrow head, so it looked like a pig. It looked like a pig with apart. Bird girlish row: I thought it was a crow. I thought it was a crows either a raven arose. So I would say it was just a pig with a raven have put up to beat fair I'd, never seen them

If I had neither and also technically to had a two headed pig, it doesn't say what kind of head so yeah, that's true! That's true! You could get around that legally. For sure I mean I don't have a leg to stand on, but yeah pickle map and then that thing that ball, that was did not and did not. What's the point when we have candles and fire and stuff, we have candles and gas chandelier. Is this is as good as it gets enough? So George Pullman takes part in a lot of the fair's events. He Put one hundred thousand dollars into the corporation that put on the the fare and then were people like? Oh, my god he's such a caring person he's so great because he gave of point four percent of his alpha. Well, it's just such a great she's such a great example. You compare what

in Chicago and he's giving one hundred thousand dollars to for people to look at pickle maps like it's yeah and meanwhile he's like just making money hand over fist because of the city. So basically the fare. The exposition is it's for the rich by the rich. That's what it is. It should be called an unfair. Well done, sir, I lay down for a little bit of that, I mean like most, workers are making in America, are making under ten dollars a week, they're working sixty hours, while three quarters of the wealth was in the hands of two hundred thousand Americans. If you get Imagine that being the case, I'd just trying trying to put my brain in that sort of guy can't it's very difficult, because it's just that the wealth is spread so in equally so unequally. So it's just sort of yeah I just I saw a picture, it's hard to picture what that would look like.

I bought a pretty. I bet, it'd, be fine, so George George is now sixty three years old he's getting sick. A lot he's always tired, he's always working. I need to It more money, more Make me better Ivanka rose is his family telling into Slota network. So much just give me money put it in my parents in my mouth staff may with bills you Eddie it's, I'm walking Bank may fourth, eighteen. Ninety three: the stock market crashed this. This restart a four year depression within months, George lays off two thirds of Poland.

Please, okay, he also spreads workout and he cuts wages to those he didn't fire. He does not reduce rents and Pullman chariot. Why would he I mean everything? Just all the monies and why would that change the economy of and while cutting wages, he doesn't make any cuts to his own salary or the executives of the charity? Well, Dave Dave, he put an affair. So can we kind of remember that for a minute, the guy put one hundred grand into affair? So so what if he's evicting everybody and his salary remains the same I mean come on so that year the Abraham Lincoln wrote in a comment card. Jerk I get it now. You make a good point

that I regard it. As there are many more times you have to go through this. He deserves this money. He did not do now, fuck everyone else. What lower all when you can understand this one. it may be one. He one is winning the gave me. No hurry he's showing he's getting. You got all the money and screw up What else to keep a guy who made the money gets to do what he wants? You're supposed to get all the points that you with me it's just so that year, the Pullman company may nine point six million and had a proper rate of fifty. four percent? So, while he's cutting all these workers, while he's slashing wages, he's just making hand over fucking fist money.

Shareholders, get dividends perfect and the company has no system for workers to file grievances or even talk to upper management. There's no, no communication whatsoever. and by the way who needs unity, on me, so start taking in boarders to help with rents in Pullman, which now creates a overcrowded situation, and here here's how he cares about is one worker was left with three dollars and fifty six cents for two weeks work after rent was, if he has a family there only eating bread and water, because that's all they can afford going to you're going to have to cut that water budget

He becomes so weak and sick that he can't work so as wife borrows zero dollars and fifteen cents to buy a soup bone and liver sausage. I'm sorry David at some people like me, are not familiar with the term So it's really you said soup bow known so Superbowl is like you cut up the you cut up a piece of meat. You'd take all the meat off and then there's just a bone left and that you would like subscribes not even scraps. boil it in water to crate, like a broth, so basically What dogs, the different way of preparing it right? Okay, guys tried pigs years, do also a favourite of the cane. I bet, I think, could easily transferred. Are you

Another man said workers were dry, that's like if you turned a dog. The chef. What would you like you'd be like hey dog? We just turned you into a person. What do you want to go to cook or I'll? Make a boat soup, okay, stupid dog? little brain animal, okay another man said workers are dropping besides cars while working because they had no food to eat. Oh, come! member member, when he member, when George said he was going to set this town where everyone will have a great environmental live in and then and then it will increase profit, yeah, okay, yes, it's perfect! More people are dying from not being able to, but I apparently bone soup doesn't have a ton of new fish into it, water, heavy disco, more more

they start. Signing up for a new union called the American Railway young in previous years are all their their brotherhoods. There's the there's. The engineers there's did the like every year classified Whatever your job is, but the American Railway Union, it's like, why do we get under one big umbrella, so on May fourth, eighteen before exactly one year after the stock market crash in the depression kicked off. George comes back from spending a couple of months at the Jersey Shore in his his treasure house, and he goes to parliament. He heard the workers were upset, so he and to go and they walk around the town. What seems to be the problem Oh that's a lot of body. Well, that's more bone soup for you all to cook

All your neighbor, your friends come to parliament, parliament it's time to each yeah He walks around with howdy and they see nothing wrong. He is, x to a few guys. They're very nice, a manager says things are fine and he's like it's all good good the next day a committee of workers go to the company and meet with parliament executive. Vice President Thomas Wicks, their complete About pay, the work was the same. The output is the same, but they're being paid much less than that's. Probably the rents in Poland are way too high. So they want more pay double time for Sunday work. They want lower rent

and then there's a problem of the foreman in the plants there, incompetent their abusive, their wasteful. They allocate work and and pay based on favouritism and quote petty, at despotism, and then they also wanted to why the company is hiring extra guards. If it doesn't have money, hmm weird area to be throwing money, I'd say: that's a weird staff to be identified as dive Yes, said: there's not enough money to hire more of you people, but the people who will beat you Paypal. If you become said, Jude people there is or the people rise by beaters lotta, about four for beaters. If we're looking was really looking for clubs beaters, play areas of high river.

Is booming hunter if you're a weekly new punchers there's someone has a history of punching. We find it easy to train them up to clubs. So they made with this guy Wicks and Wicks as Poland, cars are not making money and the plant was only open. He says to give men work, it's losing money, it's just there to keep you guys employed, so Pang, Pang more is impossible. That just can't happen.

they're, not making any money. Now the residents of the town already owed seventy thousand in back rent and he's like you're not being pushed to pay that, like we're, not pushing you to get it. Why are you guys being such dicks about us not making you pay the exorbitant unfair rate it's like and and the the the residents like no you're totally pushing us to it happens all the time. Do you guys need more phones? I'm not sure what the miscommunication here is. Do you? Maybe the set of ribs would be nice, so have you guys had cartilage chile that could be? You know my grandmother used to. She would pop out one of her eyeballs when things got tough and boil that up in that's how I have you guys tried angel hair pasta, but instead of angel, it's very, very hair pasta. Does this guy Barry, we can just eat his hair with a little bit of

little bit a bone soup mixed in that's just like Robin Mall yeah. It's just bury hair Robin all, so the workers are like human noodles workers without its it. So the workers or like look if the company folded at least we could then move out of Pullman and too, cheaper towns. I mean this is a tales of the crypt. This is a black mirror. I mean it's just like I mean. Maybe if we work hard enough, we can leave this town and you can go back to your other life Pullman. This is prison and they like what you find jobs easier in the city, and so we The data the mating weeks sells them a tells them document all your complaints in writing and then come back.

So two days later they come back and George Howard is the VP of the American Railway Union goes with them and halfway through the meeting with Wicks George Pullman enters very dramatic fashion, it was clearly all staged and set up right. They'd been there for a couple of hours, Nelson. He he rolls in, and he reads a prepared statement of this there's like twelve people from the the company, twelve workers, and he's doing right, fucking display walks and dramatically share. He reiterates that the company is losing money on car building and the car building business he says is very competitive in a gives. If

gives them the wages they want. He wouldn't win any contracts and the plant would close. Now. We know that's bullshit, because he's fucking making hand over fist money and yeah fifty fifty four percent. It's just absolute nonsense guys. We cannot afford to pay you. Okay, here's the thing about paying you. If we paid you, you will have more money. I would have less you understand. Let's see, one of those sorta see. That's the problem. Yeah! It's a big issue. So you guys eat your friends and I'll stay really really really rich. Have you ever had double boiled soup bone? Have you ever tried? Just putting your hand in warm water and then calling that draw their past so, look he says.

as far as the reds go at being in it the employer and the landlord. Those are two totally separate things and a landlord doesn't set rents based on what people are making. I cannot believe, like. I do people, and I fighting with Myself- does that make sense to you dude apartments that I can't I won't fuck myself over. Do you get it and then he says he was only getting a three point. Eight two percent return on rents and he wanted to get six percent. So he's saying to these people who can't afford food after they pay rent that he expense. Did a lot larger return breakfast, properties and their their blood

money is not threats, tone, there's tone deaf at others. Just straight up. This is no different. They just coming in the room taken at your dick and just peeing on every face like it's the craziest does. That makes that everyone understand what I'm doing here. So this is what I am trying to tell you. So. He he also Charlie open your mouth. Let me get it in he also said: look, I'm being very nice by not going to court to get back rents because I am also the Judge Comin out of court out because he said he thought of the workers, as quote his children good, I mean what up brick. It's just What kind of person is like a good my child eating fine.

He then said he was really great for keeping the shops open when they were losing money, so at the end of it he gives himself props he's like look, I'm doing the great fucking job here. You know what I think we should increase wages for me. I'm really crushing this. I've really been great so after that the employees like we want more pay we want more money and. They asked to go into arbitration in Georgia like we're, not doing legal arbitration and then he said quote: there's nothing to arbitrate. What a what a legal process when you're? Basically like there's! No there's, I'm sorry! No! It's just not going to work for me! Yeah yeah like breaking up with someone and there, like I'm, afraid, we're together. Now I did. This is no longer than him reaching response going hey. What about this and pulling out a fucking middle finger like it

just it's the craziest, but although things are getting so bad, there there might be like- will take a lot of meat on that note. Saying fuck you, what is it that so x. It promised that there be El retaliation against anybody on the committee and George is like yes, there'll, be no, no retaliation. The meeting ends. Oh yes! Now we will take this personally shut that door call the beta when the meeting ends, George and Wicks according to Kelly quote, graduated themselves for defusing the situation, so they're, so out of their fucking minds that they don't see that he has just come in and said the look craziest shit too. when beings who just want food here, just when he is and that at the end is like. I think that what pretty

Well, we got our point across they left without incident. Well done the net yeah I mean, but that is you know I it is always I mean that is what is just constantly happening. Is they're just finding new ways to just keep the ruse going as long as possible. You know so then, the next day three of the committee members are fired interesting. Well, at least they stuck to their word. So look the workers at the Pullman company are already fucking pissed, and this just sets them over the edge they're fucking Livid, yes David. He now union leaders are opposed to a strike. In the end, there is a multitude of reasons for it.

Not organized for one they're not set up. Pullman can last forever with all the money he's got. How long can they go like this? A lot of a lot of things and then what what happens with the public relations a lot of reasons, so the Pullman workers vote after the firings and okay, the firings were pretty much the final offense. A wildcat strike will begin on, may eleventh based on dangerous working conditions, low pay, poor treatment, covering everything, everything every now wix is just shocked. He cannot believe what's happening and he says that the three workers who were fired had not been fired because they were on the committee, but there are fire for a retired. For other reasons, a total misunderstanding, oh my god, did you think that we fired that because of it's support? Oh my lord! No.

no, they were washing their hands. We had to get rid of them. They were washing their hands. it's so soak. Imagine if we would fire people because it threatened our personal x that did just that. suppose we are. Would you could take us for stacks of money? You figure how to wear skin and talk so George, says: hey surprised, as his workers were the best paid in the world. Cuz, I cuz, I said so: Labor leaders, the Chicago Civic Federation, newspapers

all arranged George to agreed arbitration. He refuses again, he says quote nothing to arbitrate, that which is fine, because that's he's dead, so that's all I'm suing you no! No! No! No! No. so that night he goes to his house on the Jersey Shore, but there's reporters camped out all over the place. Reporters stray, so he takes a train up to to his house.

northern New York and the thousand islands on the St Lawrence. To avoid the reporters, it's pretty I mean this, this sub Saddam Hussein, the name he named the place. It's it's! What his place in upstate, new hassle rest fucking, a that's where Skeletor leads castle. Rest, oh good. Lord burn! At the castle four days after the workers walked out, the Pullman Palace Car company paid out their usual two percent dividend to stockholders six hundred thousand dollars because yeah but Dave they. You understand that.

it's so hard to do that when you're not making any profit like forty six percent nonprofit, what I'm saying, yeah yeah the lot almost yeah. Sorry, we don't have any money, oh, except for these people who aren't doing anything while these people work so hard strike, leaders warned the workers to avoid violence it to be fair, though Dave in or if to find solace pieces of shit that have no empathy or humanity it does cause. Does really it's very hard like an order to pay someone to remove their soul from their body. There's a fee. You know, you've got a pet. You cannot just pay them minimum wage because they are forgoing heart love any of it. Just I mean you gotta pay for that. Like that with you, you know. If you basically want to hush you

gotta throw money at it now strike leaders tell the workers avoid violence, avoid property damage because it'll be used against them. They actually go as far as to surround the plant with strikers to keep it safe from companies. Saboteurs most papers said the workers would lose because George could hold out for months, but at the same time they do attack. George some papers start calling him the Baron or Duke, and the saying the town of Pullman was like a feudal manor. Okay. Well, that's a better name. Is that a castle res? So he's he's such an egregious violator of humanity that even the newspapers that always take the side of business are like this is just, and yet I mean it needs to be agreed, yeah right for them to actually be

like you, know, he's that perfect yeah yeah, which is why someone like basil buys the paper. That's correct. So, in early June the American Railway Union holds their national convention in Chicago. The union is run by a former railway worker, Eugene Debs They have one hundred and fifty thousand members. Now it's they've just had a very successful strike against the Great northern railroad, which was owned by one of George's, Buddy, Big Jim Hill. now, the air you debates at the convention about opening membership to African Americans. right. So now we're talking about the the porters. Deb argues in favor,

but ERR: EU members vote it down. One hundred and twelve to one hundred and ten for a whites only union a huge dammit huge who mistakes. The way this country could have changed if workers had gotten together over race lines and work together, we wouldn't live in a different country, and yet it I mean it's, I mean yeah. It is like that the way that they have been able to insert race into the class? It's just it s this! It's done its maniacal, exactly how they planted so a few days later. The Pullman strikers.

Appeal their hearing, the Pullman workers and saying, should we get on board with this strike or do start a boycott or whatever, with the the air you so one Pullman worker, a father of four quote when a man is sober and steady and has a setting wife and after working two and a half years for a company, he finds himself in debt for a common living. Something must be wrong. Another quote: we are born in a Pullman House, fed from the Pullman shops taught in the Pullman school categorise. in Poland Church and when we die, we gotta Pullman hell. So that should be just set that too many years So the air you agrees to back the Pullman strikers with boycotts there

At afternoon that afternoon, eleven Pullman employees go to Wilks and ask him: will you arbitrate and Wilkes said he couldn't respond to rep of the air? You because the Palmer company didn't recognize their use. Existence, wait what that's wicks the guy from VP like his VP of polite? Okay, so he is, this is what happens, k the sit there. So there's that of these. I read it's basically like very much how it is now where you're, just like I choose to not acknowledged, know you're you're, not real. So, oh, oh you're, you're in net Apparition I mean they there. They go there with a rep from they are you and the guys, like? I'm sorry, you're, not real. sorry, I don't negotiate with bogeyman. You,

Twenty, the air. You inform the violent company. If there is no response on June, twenty six members would boycott Pullman by refusing to handle trains with Pullman cars. Ok there. Pullman, it's gotten to this point, yeah, there's a lot of public pressure to settle because it's a big deal. The trains are a big fucking deal, but woman company, insisted and kept saying quote: there's nothing to arbitrate. so June. Twenty six comes: that's the deadline and crowds gather by Chicago Rail stations, hoping to see some action. I mean people are down there like. This is going to be great right. George walks from his mansion to the 12th Street station to watch the diamond special leave now,

Diamond special, is a very, very fancy. Luxury train made one hundred percent of Pullman cars. It's just a Pullman car train and it's going to St Louis. It's full of Democrats heading to their convention, how the fuck you all diver democratic year was pulling riding eat our shit card I'm special leaves the train train incident. People like to George George walks back to his mansion a kid yelled at him wait till tomorrow, so so it was but the knights which men The Illinois Central Station refuse to handle the diamond special supervisors had to figure out how to do it.

themselves, but had no idea, that's good! That's cool! That's got to be on a train that like what's going on up there. like they're, just figuring out how to switch it, by morning Illinois switch men were refusing all Pullman cars the company fires when he's not following orders? So then two thousand I've had a train men and shop workers walk off the job in response to the firing and say you have to give the guy's their jobs back. Entire line is frozen within three days, Chicago Great Western Northwestern Burlington, Baltimore and Ohio, Northern Pacific and western India? Rail systems are tied up completely.

Crowds on the south side, cargo block the tracks. Some us, like the workers, have so much so much power crowds in this house. I block the tracks. Freight passenger and suburban trains are stopped as people yell at railroad officials who are now trying to do the jobs of workers, the boycott spread to twenty seven states wow. Oh, my god, can you. Imagine how can you I mean a hundred carloads of bananas rod on the tracks between New Orleans and Chicago, and you just heard five hundred pants say well make bread don't worry, we'll make bread across the country, meat and vegetable prices doubled ice prices quadruple the strike was affecting oil

and sugar refinery refineries fruit, canneries in California, flower males in Wisconsin and brutal in Milwaukee Pabst can. Was chartering a steamboat to get beer to Chicago? That's a mate. I mean it's. I look it's a it's amazing in many metrics, because it does I mean it just you can gum up the works and you have to but the works its also amazing that perhaps there's like we made a beer summary. We shall not be controlled. The Paypal me their bob only by the way it's paths will river like imagine, if we ve got a boat, it's coming in with bare. Don't worry, I support guide is it. I have read that the term Chicago's meet packing

strict, was shut down. The carcasses start to stink it this strike way more effective than anyone thought it would be it's way beyond anyone's expectations, so the Chicago Tribune, labeled, Eugene, Debs Dictator, Depp's other papers pick up on it. I can't wait to find out that he wanted. Like you know, I like a mattress to sleep on when he was on the road. it is out of touch bring, as some people are running with that label editors portray Debs as a monarch who did what he wanted. What the railroads now again Joe Dabs was not for this. a key was being led by the workers. He actually didn't think they should have struck as even think they could win right, but it here I mean so he's power

we like thank you now- should have had that file, but it's going far better than ever imagined yeah, so you would have signed up to this. George has his mansion. Put under guard is cargo mansion. He has all the servants removed and is most I will silver plate locked in a vault inside the Pullman building has been right there like we need guillotine. It's just so like that, if you are like, if you have a plate, it's it's know, you go to the Hague, that's due it's a new thing. If you are on that level, if you can employ, by a guard for your plate. We don't need you in our Smithers, save the plate, hearts I just Irene. People are starving, it is like don't let them touch the plate.

He takes his family and his servants to the Jersey Shore Summer home they ride on separate trains. They took a they took a. a less fancy car so We notice not apartment car from another company. Hopefully it's been, the company stays consistent, quote nothing arbitrate, there's nothing to George makes no official He he goes out of his way to me sure it seems like he doesn't care he's acting. very nonchalant, but in his diary, he's freaking out he's totally worried, nervous,

the jet, the General Managers Association was an Anti union group made up of rich owners of the twenty four railroad serving Chicago and they hold a meeting. They refuse to communicate with the air. W G M plan according to The stories in our modern see quote the strategy of association was to draw the: U S government into the struggle and then It could appear that the battle was no longer between the workers and the railroads, but between the workers and the government and the Gm A did not want smooth track and she may did not want to get the trains moving, but rather to slow them down to upset the public. Write a rumor began that the Gma was pressuring George to make a deal.

and one of the Gma members made sure everyone knew that was not true quote. We have organized to resist this strike to the bitter end. Now. They now consider the situation to be beyond just George Pullman, the Gm A considered. is to be an industrial war between the a r? U and the G M, a one of the one. The New York Times would call quote the greatest battle between labor and capital that has ever been inaugurated in the United States. dude you're doing and in this corner in this corner, ready to remove all workers, rights and dignity that geez added this call. Weighing and with many many grievances looking to give workers a living wage at a sustainable existence and make their families happy and give

What type of vacation there are you all they want? Can leave you'll pay for the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge, and so that's the end of part. One references, Carl Smith, urban disorder and the shape of belief. The great fire, the Haymarket bomb in the model, town of Pullman, as I said, Jack Kelly, the edge of anarchy, Susan Elinor Hirsch, after the strike a century of labels, labour struggle at Pullman, Thomas Craw, well with Phelps failure of the presidents from the whiskey rebellion to eighteen, twelve, the bay of pigs, the IRAN Contra Affair, Jimmy Stamp traveling in style and comfort, the Pullman sleeper car. So You obviously see the comparisons between this person and Amazon they're they're clear as fucking day, and yes, it is

one thing that everyone needs to sorta: or when they realize how big Amazon is getting Amazon. Is you know taking over and it's shutting down small businesses all over the country right, you know now you can't go.
