just going into rothchilds vault till he has it all and we are slaving for carbon credits the richest slave lives like a cave man with fendi bags. LOL
That's bad The Gold should belong to the indigenous people there not the big greedy mining companies who just pull in and take it all away It could help improve their quality of life for their families They are being sold out History repeats itself again and again
Most of this stuff is hype. 2 million people in a land 5 times the size of texas. 1 million live in the capital city alone. Go a little east and the fields are numerous and green. This report is a snapshot, not the entire story.
This is one of the downsides of globalization. The people who really know how to live without the stupid system we created is surely disappearing. When the shit hits the fan and the system fails, all that there's left will be bunch of dummies who'll starve to death because the supermarkets are gone. We are preparing our own doom with no back up plan. But who knows... maybe we'll find another planet to do the same mistakes. That should save us for another few thousand years.
Its not that we have become more foolish. It is that agricultural technology has advanced so far than only a very small percentage of people is necessary to sustain all of us.
The real issue therefore is how to use 75% of people now unneeded in the farms-- getting them to live a more sustainable lifestyle, etc
You are not seeing the point there. The real fault lies in the fact that we're trying to make everything so progressive and efficient that we forget to draw the line between what is just a mere desire and what is really needed. Wow, I just can't believe how ignorant your comment is. Why don't u cut all the trees down to only what we need? Why don't u kill all the landscape down to only what we need? Tell me which part in your divine plan is sustainable? I think it's destructive.
at least this isn't most parts of africa like the liberia where "blood diamonds", conflict minerals from the congo (rare minerals like tantalum that goes is used in ALL modern electronic devices) form a way of life with killings, slavery, etc.
what NPR didn't touch on was what the big mining companies are doing, are they gonna start killing people in the future? what will the mongolian government do? start censorship and put people in prison?

As a fan of Monglolian culture. This is heartbreaking. But damn--I guess it was inevitable that Mongolia begin to modernize at some point.
