The incorrigibly industrious Eugene Dalton 100 years ago

I'm thinking about what I would have done in his shoes. 16 years old, pharmaceutical cocaine and hookers, and he gets paid on top of it all. I wonder why he slacked off for seven hours a day. He must have had a poor work ethic, or something.

Whatever the true state of that kids condition, he was free. I expect that his life lived now would be nothing but misery and hopelessness. I doubt there is an incorrigible kid out there who wouldn't benefit from working seven days a week.

Working 17/7, the kid deserved a little "blow" to get him through the day. Oh by the way, how incorrigible can he have been at home after a seventeen hour work day? Was it before he slept or after?

One reason for a shorter life span.

I wonder what happened to him later in life.

Big businesses who support illegal immigration and all those H1B visas want all of us to be like that kid.
