    I work in the mining industry and all of my coworkers are so excited about the price of gold and other precious metals hitting record highs. They say that this will result in all of us becoming wealthy. Bless their hearts…

        You would think that but no, most of the management is the same. All are happily excited about all the things they are doing to buy. There are a handful of people who are going to be retiring within a year and they are all excited too. One of the older employees has medical issues and requires medication and within the last couple of months he has been unable to get his medication and has had a few moments where he has been hospitalized as a result. And he blames “woke” and “trans liberals” for the problems. The next 4-6 months are going to be interesting to see.
