That's just because it is not free market enough yet. Just as Kansas will become paradise. More time and more competition will Fix everything.
so how is this guy not standing trial for felony murder? him and all the enablers that helped him bypass the safety regulators? let's see some conservatards actually stand up for personal responsibility.
Dumb fuck shoulda called himself a bank, then he coulda walked after paying out a fine slightly smaller than however much his campaign of flagrant safety violations padded his profit.
The Animas River, which flows south through Durango, CO, is just now, <i>a hundred years later, </i>recovering from the godawful chemicals and tailings the mines and smelters used to extract silver from ore. They&#039;re finding a few fish!
So you see, extraction industries only do bad things until there&#039;re no more natural &quot;resources&quot; to extract. Then they take their fortunes back to New York and London and try to act like they always had this money. As for cleaning up the mess, well...someone else will see it to it, you can be sure.
Let&#039;s think of a few extraction industry zillionaires from the past:
The Astors (beavers!) The Rockefellers (oil) The Bushes (oil) The Buckleys (oil) The Cabots (oil)
But, but, but, the libertarians all told me that the free market is self correcting and rational- it fixes all. The people would all rationally vote with their wallets and buy their coal elsewhere, in order to choose the bestest coal mining operation over the one that treated its employees so poorly. This is why we don&#039;t need all those pesky gubmint regulations strangling the marketplace and stifling growth and innovation. the invisible hand will take care of those miners, get the gubmint out of the way and let freedumb soar!
Sorry libertarians, but Don Blankenship is exhibit A of why you&#039;re all full of shit. See also: ENRON, BP, Exxon, Wall Street, several hundred corporate agriculture and livestock operations, the entire country of China, etc, etc

He is going to be plenty busy trying to keep nasty deposits from clogging up his stovepipe.

But, but... He created 29 new jobs plus all of the community benefit rippling out through funeral homes, etc.
So being an unbelievable dick is now an indictable offense? Hmmm, better take that off of my resume.

Making everything worse, that uniform he&#039;s sporting was the new 2010 mining uniform he makes everyone wear.
Worse yet, he&#039;s speaking with a teleprompter

Are you sure it wasn&#039;t the Castors who exploited the beavers?
He can say this stuff because he&#039;s not running for re-election.
