“There is no national count of people killed in attempted copper thefts, but news accounts put the death toll at about two dozen over the past year, including an Ohio man who was electrocuted earlier this month and was found tangled in a utility line.”

Seems like a feature, not a bug, to me.

Just like oil and gas, plenty of metal deposits in the U.S., but the 9th Circuit, EPA, Department of the Interior, etc, etc, bar mining companies from utilizing these resources. With the high prices, you get kooks like this coming out to make a buck.

Scrap metal dealers are complicit.

Action needs to be taken immediately to prosecute them for accepting suspicious materials.

End it right now.

Higher commodity prices are due to inflation, ie too much liquidity due to loose central bank policies.


BUMP
