Massy Mining Needs ?

I'd say I have an even better idea than throwing all the scum-bag owners in jail.

Fine them and then make THEM work IN the same mine!

Then you'd see how fast things would improve when their sorry arses are down there in harm's way !!

Dave, your experience was different in two important ways. First, what you were doing was experimental, so great attention was paid to every detail of method. When people are following a standard routine with a long history of success (within limits that people have come to tolerate), they pay less attention. Second, you were largely free of financial constraints. You had to operate within a budget, but your work was not evaluated by its cost. You were spending taxpayers' money, not your own or that of your bosses. That makes a huge difference. Society as a whole can't be run that way, because society can't consume more than it produces. Most economic activities must show a profit, or the country would be in the position of someone living off his savings. Once the savings were gone, destitution would result.
