When I visited Poland last year, I visited the Wieliczka Salt Mine, outside of Krakow.
One of the most awesome places I’ve ever been to, they no longer mine salt, but they’ve made some incredible statues out of the salt formations.
They even built a full-size chapel, where they regularly hold Masses and Weddings.
His watch shows a temp of 86 degrees. We have higher lows than that in AZ.
Per-capita GDP in Ehtiopia is $1.38 per day. These miners, as someone else mentioned, earn over 5 times that.
When they get their student loans paid off they’ll be on Easy Street!
Puts some meaning in the phrase, “Well back to the salt mines”.
Can’t they at least do it in the nighttime?
My company sells hundreds of trucks of rock salt in the winter for use in ice melting on roads.
American Rock Salt(NY) is the company we buy most of them from.
Also, salt is used to treat water for almost every municipal water system. It is used as a water softener.
Out west salt comes from Salt Lake City, Utah and Carlsbad, NM.
Another funny thing about the do-gooder. He will start an entire campaign to raise the prices. Then, once the cost of the salt for the liberal do gooder bragging about $50 a pound salt will stop buying it when it gets to $75 a pound because it’s too expensive.
There’s a great documentary how all the charity has devastated Haiti called, “Big Charity.” All the do-gooders keep dropping free stuff on the Haitians ruining the small time farmer or shoemaker. One guy had his own little business selling eggs. Then, some charity group dropped in truckloads of free eggs ruining him. Same with the Haitian rice farmers. They tried to rebuild their rice fields but tons and tons of free rice wiped them out. Same thing to some poor cobbler who made and repaired shoes.
Hopefully those Ethiopian salt farmers see through the liberals white guilt for what it is.
20 years ago I worked at a mine in Indonesia. Our helpers loved working with us as they got paid 3 times their normal wages (long hours and off the main site).
I asked one how much he normally made.
“50 cents an hour - best job in Indonesia!!”
They were provided food and lodging, and nothing around to waste money on.
He said in five years he would have enough saved up so he could build a new house for his family (he was a carpenter back home). Granted - his house isn’t like my house, but still - I was still paying off on my house after 25 years.
Some African leader/president was asked once “What can we do to help you?”
“Stop sending us all of your crap. Give small loans to local start-ups so they can make our clothes and employ people that will then have work and money to buy those clothes.”
Right, road salt. Product unknown to California natives.
Now, now, the msm has told us no one needs air conditioning.
“hope they get paid breaks.”
I’m guessing they don’t eat anything salty for lunch.
