The $20 lesson is akin to this. The older gen knew the importance of managing relationships.

Sidewalk erosion is one of those things which even informed people often don't fully appreciate. We tore up most of the sidewalks in our cities to make room for cars. When Al Smith sang about the "Sidewalks of New York", they were about THREE TIMES as wide as they are today!

This is why I wish more D operatives had Hill experience (or district office!) These are wonderful insights to what people care about today, back home, in an evolving world. And how you can help. Those folks you listen to will become your most loyal supporters.
