Loading ...I was dealing with the public in a small working class town . The big employers were a typewriter factory , a lead/acid battery manufacturer and a cigarette factory . All trying to expand their markets beyond the borders .
One old dear , who was like a mother hen to me had an ear for perfect pitch and made a living tuning the four? note tines of a tiny fork put into music boxes . She had severe arthritis , but made a living by filing the tines to perfect pitch…for 3 cents per piece , with a small handheld file . She put on a brave face , but I have seen the silent tears trickling down her face due to the joint pain in those swollen, misshapen hands while working . She had a brother living in Canada who helped , and in fact brought her to Canada on vacation the year my son was born so she hopped on a train and two hours later was at a nearby train station to meet my family for a day.
Many years , and many moves later I was back in Europe on business in Germany , Switzerland and Czech Republic by rail , so got off in that town to check on her well-being . She had died a few months earlier , a neighbor informed me . It was like losing family .
Apologies for getting offtrack .
My intent was to agree with you that the Swiss populace outside of Geneva , Zurich , etc. are a different breed from the elite class . They are the producers that the Klausian WEFfers want to impoverish , enslave and eventually eliminate . My kind of people !
