I figured as much. I bet some mine executive will sleep well tonight on a big pile of cash that he saved by cutting costs.
Oh yeah...this is the part where you tell me how terrible socialism is...

Those miners were spared a slow painful death from black lung thanks to the merciful cost cutting measures of their most compassionate bosses.

You need to address this to Phibes. But be warned, that young firebrand will school you in the field of Juche and worker's collectives.
Prepare to have your ass handed to you.

Doesn't Juche involved being sodomized by a midget with a bad hairpiece wearing platform shoes? I will certainly defer to his expertise in those matters.
