It is so hard to believe that things like this go on. It's so hard to believe that this was ever allowed in the first place. I'm so glad that they are finally getting a new school, but it is so frustrating to me to think that Massey isn't paying for it in full plus all medical expenses for all the locals. Actually, I could give a long list of things that Massey should be paying for, and they should not be in business at all. This makes me sooooo mad.

Therefore, the number of jobs that they create is very minimal. Also, because MTR is cheaper, faster, and requires a far less amount of workers than underground mining, it actually serves as competition for underground mining companies thus a huge loss of jobs for the people here.

Think of the hundreds of kids that won't know if they even be able to have food on the table because of their dad's losing their jobs.
