This is what we can have when we kick out business government. Front The Coming of the New Deal by Arthur Schlesinger

When Schwab said he could not accept the code because of his obligations to Bethlehem stockholders, Roosevelt asked amiably whether he had been looking after his stockholders when he paid those million-dollar bonuses to Eugene Grace and allowed his miners to live in coke ovens. To another visitor later that day, the President said with satisfaction, "I scared them the way they have never been frightened before and I told Schwab he better not pay any more million dollar bonuses."

Really a solid one two punch with these paragraphs

Screenshot from the NOLA article where Nottoway is described as a place of great injustice that has become somewhere for reflection, dialogue, and education. The next paragraph says the property was most recently used as an event space and wedding venue.
