Men in Denim built this land.

Men in suits destroyed it.

Frances Perkins made a plan.

FDR employed it.

Your second sentence reminded me of the Woody Guthrie lyrics…

“ Yes, as through this world I've wandered

I've seen lots of funny men;

Some will rob you with a six-gun,

And some with a fountain pen.”

We need more Woodys to tell the tale, or sing the truth as only they can. Listening to lyrics these days is a crap shoot. But when they hit the mark, it’s a bulls eye…

The first two lines have been in existence for decades.

I add the next two to give Frances Perkins the credit she is due.
