float...a familiar gate...on the words above it #ArbeitMachtFrei "Makes One Freeā€ was displayed on the entrance gates of #Nazi concentration extermination camps

Reminds me of #TheGreatGatsby #FScottFitzgerald ā€œā€™Canā€™t repeat the past?ā€™ he cried incredulously. ā€˜Why of course you can!ā€™ He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand"

@six_grandfathers_mountain That WAS his Halloween party.

The Great Gatsby.

How ironic.

As for York County and the Pennsylvania Rust Belt? Obviously racism,the šŸ¤” and Holocaust denial go hand in hand. As does stupidity.

#Pennsylvania Rust Belt

There is a great example of how to ā­•not take advantage of the #workingpoor by a corporation, the Milton Hershey story #cspan

See the 45min ā­•VIDEO here, it's a very positive story.

@six_grandfathers_mountain Of course they'll skip the bad stuff about sugar.

Hershey Park may be one of the few bright spots in that part of the Rust Belt.

From what I've seen and read over the years,people are still longing for those factory jobs to return.
