Useful discussions are fact-based and analytical. MM/Chilean Miners fails to acknowledge--or maybe even fails to understand--facts and keeps trying to change the subject. Cherry-picking an uptick in shipments from Duluth doesn't change the long-term community disaster of a mining-based economy. And what's logging got to do with the mining numbers? Logging properly done is a sustainable industry that's a huge asset to Northeastern Minnesota. Does MM/Chilean Miners understand that the many thousands of acres of forest that Antofagasta would destroy would be off-limits to all other uses, including logging? Did MM/Chilean Miners understand what is written in the falling population numbers for Mesabi Range towns? Does MM/Chilean Miners understand that automation will continue to relentlessly drive down mining employment? The ultimate impact of an Antofagasta mine would be very few jobs but destroyed land and water--nothing left to build on. And the name-calling complaint from someone like MM/Chilean Miners who calls others "elitist preservationists," "elitist environmentalists," and "hypocrite" is nothing short of hilarious.
