Excellent point, Heinrich.
And I can well imagine should one of those miners croak in the process, the benefits to the family will be quite generous.
And, here I'm talking:
- a gunny sack to bury him in.
- a death benefit payment that should cover the priest's fee to bury him.
- a pension of several pesos per month that should provide the family a dozen or so cans of chicken broth each month.
I would wager Free Market Fred might complain about these lavish benefits, but I tend to feel a bit more compassion for them. I am, after all, a bit of a softie.
