“i risked everything to build this business…”

i spit
i curse
you didn’t risk shit except your money…i KNOW who risked everything.

on edit:
an hour or so drive from me is the site of the Ludlow Massacre

a half hour the other direction is Dawson NM…now a ghost town (and birthplace of Dolores Huerta, one of my personal heros)…site of a large cemetery with the graves of about 300 miners who lost their lives in two separate explosions.
