Andrew Carnegie and the 19th-century ‘robber barons’ have lessons for today’s oligarchs about the responsibilities of wealth

On the #christmas countdown already 🤯. I do love how garden centres in NI have all this crap in them, these all move and there are singing reindeer 🦌. Is this just a northern Ireland thing or do garden centres in other countries do this too?
