I agree with you.
it is so easy to blame...and of course “the evil capitalist.”
I see the owner as very caring, and exhausted. You are right, mines have accidents, other occupations have accidents...and we just want everyone and everything to function perfectly and if it ( or they) don’t Sue them!
How babyish...
I agree. I believe the owner is very distraught. It was considered one of the safest mines in the U.S.
“I see the owner as very caring, and exhausted.”
I’m sure he’s very concerned for the miners’ well being, but he also might be worried because three are reported to be illegals.
