Well, I'm not a fan of mountaintop removal. Still, I get your point, and you're right. I shouldn't say "corporations" are terrible at that, because there are a lot of processes that require (if nothing else) the legal structure of one, but that a certain management style associated with the 20th-century large corporation is counterproductive.

We can't know, because we can't go back in time, but I feel like those coal miners would have been just as productive (if not moreso) if they were better compensated for their work.

As a point of interest, miners in Australia are astoundingly well compensated and taken care of compared to resource extraction workers in other countries.

As a point of information,

that was a point of information, not a point of interest.

Mao says: no use of the words "point of interest" while in a point of interest. Three penalty cards!
