Fascinating.

  1. So the bureau-rat says since it's unregulated, "the community" doesn't profit. Riiight. What he means is HE doesn't profit. The MINER profits and spends his money in the "community" and everybody is richer. But everybody here (EPJ) knows that so I'll shut up.
    Sucks about the mercury in the ground, though. Nice if they cleaned up their act a little.

  2. "The way it's being done right now, no, no, no, we don't get any profit from it," says the politician. The mine was shut down. How telling.
