I was talking to a coworker about these new phishing attacks that send your name and address and sometimes a picture of your house, and I was saying how creepy it is, and they told me that phonebooks were delivered to everyone and used to have like literally everyone in a city listed by last name with their phone number and address. Is that for real?

      Like in the town town or the amusement thing.

      Did this dude enslave small-statured orange people by chance?

        The town, or at least the main street that goes by the factory. As far as I know, no orange people were enslaved.
        Seriously though, Milton Hershey was surprisingly progressive for his time. He built affordable homes for his workers and helped them become home owners. The school he built was originally for orphaned boys.
