Thought for the Day

As a broad brush, mining/mineral/oil companies are some of the most "evil" in the world, orchestrating violence/local militias/coups, abusing local populations and workforces, and polluting on a level rarely seen in other industries.

Just no one ever talks about it.

  • Anyone that's read "The Nation" in the last 30 years knows it in depth. Chomsky talks about it.

    How many people read "The Nation" or Chomsky?

    Corporate news isn't going to talk about it at all. I would suppose that cross contamination on corporate boards keep the stories buried very deep.
