re: #123 Feline Emperor of the Conservative Waste
Teddy did go out West and run a ranch for a few years after his first wife died. I would file that under business experience since it was a bit more than sitting on the porch while hirelings did all the work.
that must have been one of those experiences that led him to denounce “malefactors of great wealth” and inaugurate the trust busting era later on in life…
