but also, I can see the largesse the pointy end bestow themselves thanks to the fruits of the unwashed, like they unquestionably deserve their excesses at the expense of those who struggle;
At $150,000 a year paid to the "struggling" unwashed for the simple task of driving a truck, I think the cash is being spread around a bit more evenly than you make out.
Or are you referring to the struggling unwashed being those who cant even drive a truck so they sit at home and bitch on the internet because someone else is digging up all their iron ore,.. "THEIR iron ore",..as if it ever was, and actually doing something with it other than just leave it in the ground for another thousand years, which is what would happen to it if it was left to the initiative of the great unwashed masses..
Face it. Someone has to get off their ass, get the money together, billions of it, and get the infrastructure in place to get out in the back blocks and dig the stuff up.
It's not gold. You can't make a go of it with a spade and wheelbarrow. It's practically worthless unless you can dig up thousands of tons of it and ship it out.
The great unwashed are not even capable of carrying their empty beer bottles off the beach so I cant imagine they would be capable of this.
