And let’s read this paragraph and hope for the same for some of our 21st century robber barons.
In the end, George Pullman paid a heavy price for his policies and practices. He died a bitter and fearful man just three years later. Concerned that his body might be stolen and desecrated by his former employees, he gave careful instructions for his burial. His lead-lined casket was covered with an inch of asphalt, placed in a deep pit into which was poured eight feet of concrete, topped by eight steel rails, and finally, another layer of concrete. Thus was George Pullman finally and forever buffered from the insolence of his employees.
