Following up #JayGould with #FredDouglas. Should be a good combo, because a retrenchment of slave power as segregation was one of the rotten things that were hidden by the gilding of America’s industrial era.

On the last he might have had a point. There was a rumor that #JayGould had delayed vote totals being reported via Western Union’s telegraph service to give candidate James Blaine a chance to find more votes.

The Gilded Age was gilded, even #JayGould ‘s country manner, Lyndhurst. So ornate it was used as the back drop of the semi-hippie, semi-dramatic 60’s TV show, Dark Shadows.

French realism was the art of Gilded Age New York. Picture these hanging in the walls of #JayGould ‘s country mansion. Surrounded by mahogany or fine plaster filigree.

Finally, Western Union Headquarters. A man like #JayGould might skip breakfast out and go directly to work, where he could have breakfast brought to him.

Maybe much dumber is harsh and a bit of recency bias. Clearly men like #JayGould were as socially ignorant and inept as Musk and Zuck, and not all Robber Barrons founded schools to quiet their raging conscience.
Anderson Cooper is famously among the first of the Vanderbilts to be born needing to work. He’s done alright for himself, but those Gilded names are being replaced by Musk, Gates, Jobs…Trump. Richer, every bit as immoral, but much, much dumber.

The Gilded Age has this over today’s Oligarch’s. Those guys didn’t hide away in palaces. They walked the streets. Went out in public. #JayGould got beat up on multiple occasions by people he cheated; guns pulled on him. Chased by mobs. He was a proper villain.

Edison on #JayGould. “His conscience seemed to have atrophied, but that may be due to the fact that he was contending with men who never had any to be atrophied.”

Gould was the son of an alcoholic abusive father, and lost his mother when he was quite young. Was money security against a harsh and arbitrary world for what always remained a scared lonely little boy?

Thomas Edison briefly worked for #JayGould. Later, Edison would tell the story of Gould in anger ordering his Western Union ticker tape machine removed from his office because the company he wished to compete with had raised the rate.

It’s possible that our entire mythology around wealth is just survivors guilt. Zuck’s real skill wasn’t programming. Facebook sucks. His real skill was fucking others over before they fucked him. I’m reading about #JayGould in emerging markets, that seems to be the pattern. Then the laws come.
every single one of these guys is an incel loser who thought that being rich would make them popular and well-liked and when it didn't happen they lost their minds even further
Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion

The rich are so disappointingly grubby. After being forced off the Erie Railroad Board because his crooked reputation was holding down the stock value as much as 60% #JayGould could have retired, young.

#JayGould, Andrew Carnegie, Daniel Drew, Cornelius Vanderbilt, etc. all built their fortunes off insider-trading. Legal back then, but always morally dubious.

Reading a biography about #JayGould, and journalist regularly report on the amount of money Capitalists brought to Albany to bribe politicians, like it was the weather report.
Failing to bribe well was a point of criticism.

#JayGould, lost a mother, two step mother and a sister in four years. In that same time his father became an abusive, embarrassing alcoholic.
