<p>I might deliver sticks of butter into Hunts Point one night and come out with several cases of damaged goods. The boxes would be damaged and not acceptable by the market so they get hauled back home to be resold.</p><p>Well... that butter was more valuable than dollars to the hungry workers along downtown and Jersey in some places.. for trade.. I never had to have any butter left when I did get back to the home yard that week.</p><p>The boss would complain about the losses in the few dozens of dollars but I explain to him that he does not have to recover a stripped truck, trailer and possible a dead driver or worse.</p><p>It takes money or valuable useful things to grease the skids and make the world go around in bad areas. I think sometimes of many people who live thier lives in safety and bliss without fear of knife or hook whatsoever when they sit down to eat that meal.</p>
