So years ago, basically, I think in 1860s, this man was born, his name was Matthew Talbot,

Matthew Talbot was born in Ireland, and he was born poor in Ireland.

And essentially back then, if you were born poor in Ireland, you would say poor in Ireland.

And Matthew Talbot, his family was so, so destitute, he went to work full time at 11 years

old.

That was it, he was out of school, and he didn't even learn how to read as a kid, he just

had to work.

And so he was an unskilled laborer, from when he was 11 years old until he died when he

was not about 65 years old, he died.

It's been the entire time just going to get up every morning and working really, really

hard in like back breaking labor.

And so basically, really quickly, when he was in his early teens, he realized that if this

is my life, then like what's the use?

So he did what the grownups were doing around, and they get paid every day, and he would

take the money they got paid every day.

And rather than go home, he just went to the pub.

And really quickly, he became enslaved to alcohol.

He still worked really hard, but he just, he got to the point where he could not get to

the end of the day, he could not keep his money, he wanted to, he wanted to keep his money,

but he couldn't keep his money until one day after work, he didn't pay him for whatever

reason he didn't get paid that day.

And so he just stood outside the pub.
