I agree. I would have been moved from that large cesspool of corruption. They all work together to ruin someone not in lockstep. It is noble to stand and fight. I have great respect for Jack, but I’d think at some point, you just want to run your business and be left alone.
As I have said before on this topic, maybe Jack is the type who embraces a challenge and is not at all overwhelmed living and working in a town full of imbeciles. I have met such people who may seem to be laconic and low key, but inside they are stubborn and very strong willed. Rebellious in their own way.
Clint Eastwood types.
