Spend all this money on liquor and cocaine. Sounds like me.
This is straight out of a dystopian science fiction movie. A place on a planet whose people are condemned to break rocks and die young for centuries due to an evil empire. The emperor changes every century, but the rocky prison continues without remorse. At least now there are cooperatives in charge, so that there is no outside entity that runs the thing. This is as peaceful a resolution as the industry intrinsically will allow.

Spain and the Catholic Church should pay for the healthcare expenses of the ppl here as they have benefited so much from mining and exploiting ppl. Shame on you Catholics
I hope the miner they followed was compensated in some way to help him and his wife. This is so heart-wrenching to see what humans have to endure just to survive. I am with all miners, your spirit built this entire civilization along with farmers. Love & Light
How the whole world is on drugs to fight for Oils and Gas? Same answer to different question.
How is it that the Bolivians don't process this ore themselves?
