my heart broke when i read that Hoffman vetoed the Beach bill even though i knew it was going to happen.. i hate monopolists i hate the tweed ring ughhhh

sorry i havent read in ages a lot of stuff going on. but im gonna finish this book trust

i genuinely think the world would be a better place if Beach's pneumatic railroad idea caught on. Much less environmental pollution from trains and apparently those rides were incredible smooth and calm. boooooo arcade railway boooo!!!

foley is lowkey the goat

a robber baron named Jay Gould cornering the market on gold...... you can't make ts up 😭😭😭
