在上世纪末，宾夕法尼亚州的约翰斯敦（Johnstown）是一座繁荣的煤钢城镇，到处都是为了在这个国家蓬勃发展的工业繁荣中分得一杯羹而努力奋斗的家庭。在约翰斯敦上方的群山中，人们匆忙重修了一座老土坝，为由 Andrew Carnegie、Henry Clay Frick 和 Andrew Mellon 等推动工业繁荣的商业巨头们光顾的专属避暑胜地建造了一座湖泊。尽管屡遭潜在险情的警告，土坝却未采取任何措施。随后，1889年5月31日来临，大坝溃决，滔天水墙呼啸而下

其实并不是。如果你想了解完整经过，可以去读读 David McCullough 写约翰斯敦大洪水（Johnstown Flood）的那本书。Frick 本质上就是 Carnegie 的左膀右臂，在 Carnegie 退居二线享受财富后，受命掌管他的产业。那个俱乐部被明确设立…
Actually, it not. If you want the full account, you can read David McCullough's book about the Johnstown Flood Frick was essentially Carnegie's right-hand man, having been appointed to run Carnegie's businesses after he withdrew from their day to day operations to enjoy his wealth. The club was explicitly set…
…财富和他的慈善事业，但这不能成为他残酷对待工人的借口。老实说，你居然还能帮 Henry Frick 说话，真让我大跌眼镜。你应该去好好读读约翰斯敦大洪水（Johnstown Flood）和南福克水坝（South Fork Dam）溃决的真相。感觉 HN 这帮人就是扫了一眼维基百科生平，然后拿来拼凑出一个烂得搞笑的论点。
…Wealth & his philanthropy, but that doesn't excuse his horrible treatment of workers. Honestly, it's just so astonishing that you can even argue in support of Henry Frick. You should read up about the Johnstown FLood and the failure of the South Fork Dam. I feel like the HN crowd just skims the wikipedia bio and uses that to craft a hilariously terrible argument.
