It has come to my attention that Boston will soon be host to an Andrew Carnegie steel plant. For this, I am a bit confused. I do, however, appreciate the business it will bring to my city. I'm confident that there will be many a man employed at this steel mill, maybe even men who might need a lawyer from time to time (I'm willing to do the work pro bono, of course, if people cannot afford my rates yet still need the help). It is always nice to see opportunity for the inhabitants of this city.
Carnegie seems like a brilliant man, and an ambitious businessman. It seems like he is setting up plants everywhere, and for that he is raking in the profits. I would have respected him merely on the fact that he is one of the few people in this country richer than myself, but his story is inspirational. From colleagues, I here he immigrated to this country, worked his way up in factories, and is now regarded to be the second richest man, after JD Rockefeller, of course. With his new plant in Boston, I think I shall look into doing some legal work with the company.
With a new steel plant in town, this could mean more steel products more readily available and for lower prices. Though this does not phase me, friends of mine, as well as most of the city would benefit from cheaper goods. Cheaper goods, more jobs, opportunity. It would seem that this is nothing but a positive for Massachusetts. My only question is... why Boston? I didn't think we had that much iron ore to help with the production of steel. But then again, I am merely a lawyer. Carnegie's the expert here and must see something promising in our city.
