26. Levi Strauss's personal story is remarkable. In those cutthroat days of the Gold Rush

he was ethical, honest and fair. He treated his workers well back when there were little to no protections and gave back to his community.

Strauss came to America to escape the virulent antisemitic laws that limited work opportunities for German Jews, worked extremely hard to succeed, and afforded his employees the chance to do the same.

That fact that one of his descendants was targeted in the way Dan Goldman was is frankly disgusting.

Mahalo, my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
