Silver Mine Overflow

Crapitalism says cleaning up the waste from mining is just too darn expensive.
So, they poison our water because the mine owners need another billion dollars.
Those trillions have to come from somewhere.

The world is in this shape because the collective mass of political will allows it to be this way.

We all have to own our little parts.
Our personal apathy will be the death of us, dear reader.

From the story:

Heavy rains caused the overflow of a tailings dam operated by Canadian company Fortuna Silver Mines in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Sunday, October 7, contaminating the Coyote Creek and threatening the primary source of water for farming communities in the Central Valleys region.
Authorities of the Indigenous Zapotec town of Magdalena Ocotlán informed that on the morning of October 8, residents observed a stream of white water in the tributary of the Coyote Creek that passes through their community, located 5 kilometers downriver from the “San José” gold and silver mine in the neighboring community of San José del Progreso.
Local officials insist that the source of contamination is a tailings dam where the Vancouver-based precious metals producer stores waste from its underground mine, in commercial production since 2011.
The affected creek passes no more than ten meters from the primary drinking water well in Magdalena Ocotlán, and ultimately flows into the Atoyac River, the most significant tributary in Oaxaca City.
