I’ve had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and fight the power?

There are so many other ways things are engineered to benefit the minority and prevent the majority from gaining power, why not this too?

Just a thought rattling around in my head.

The mine went bankrupt in '89, just a few years after Errol bought shares in it. The boss was someone else.

Businesses do not become unprofitable in two years, they were always shells and someone sold it to a pansy.

Mines can absolutely become suddenly unprofitable. You don’t know how much good stuff is in the ground until you dig it up.

I’ve seen people shoot gold into the walls of a mine to make it look like there’s something left in there. Only those new to the industry would fall for it.

There are absolutely ways to find out the likelihood of how much is left. They’re either patsies or idiots who didn’t listen to their geologists.
