>>20628739>It's true that corporate misbehavior costs governments, and therefore taxpayers, enormous amounts of money. But I wish government would go after banks and financial institutions as hard for any malfeasance as they go after miners.>High finance has cost us trillions in bailouts, more than the mining sector has.There really is an anti-mining double standard by governments in the West. Mines are expected to clean up their messes, yet high finances can mess up global finance to the point where tens of billions of USD are required for bailouts and they get a slap on the wrist.
Where are the US $15 trillion bailouts for mining? That would do more to juice the economy, by a mile, than bailing out banks and hedge funds does.
