PERU, Rinconada: Glacier Gold Part 3 of 3

[rohndra]

the luxury of the western world is at the expensive of these people

@rohndra No, it's because the leaders of Peru don't see any need to educate their people so that they don't have to do this for a living. It's not different than coal mining in West Virginia until the coal wars forced changes. It has NOTHING to do with the so-called "western world". Get off that dead horse. Independent countries can chart their course. They're not doing anything different than 17th England, Spain or France.

Wait, they are only being paid $10 a gram for pure gold? That is ridiculous! Gold is worth triple that easy!
