The Ludlow situation in Colorado in 1913 and 1914 was an example where Standard Oil owned the town. It was a coal mining town and things. It actually was a pretty nice town, actually, if you look at it. They had a lot of nice amenities and things along those lines because usually big companies actually provided better amenities.

Then they had a strike, and after about six weeks, the company wanted to bring in other workers, which meant that they pushed workers out of their houses. And so that's always a really bad situation, as you can imagine. And then you have pickets, and people are protesting and stuff.

And then it goes really badly from there. And so then they had a situation where eventually they called in the troops and the troops, they actually ended up attacking a mining tent town and like 13 women and children died in a fire.

I think the key to the circumstances goes right is that the employer is a good employer. And I think that happens in a lot of different cases.

Oh, I think so, to some degree. I mean, so you have mining towns. You still have mining operations here in Arizona and in other places, right?
