RE:RE:Peru >>> impending capital flightGlobalized capital and localized drive to the bottom pricing is the issue. As always, the situation of the individual (person, family, town, tribe, county, country) is different than the situation (long range positive benefits or sustainability) of the collective.
Unless there is an enforceable accord to prevent undercutting of prices, in ways that take advantage of externalities (individual humans, environment, long range resource availability,) the capialism (still the best, though very imperfect system ever) will drive prices to the bottom and it will always come at the expense of externalized (things no company or person are, in any way, compelled by law or social pressure) factors (again: humans, animals, environment long range sustainability etc.)
Just my thoughts.

I hope and believe that the issue may be resolved fairly among all parties. If that makes Peruvian concentrate more expensive, that is more important to us than how those people decide to govern themselves.
In Peru the people voted. You know, what the Republicans are trying to stop in this country?
They had an election in Peru, and now they are counting the votes You know like the high-tech, first-world nation of the United States of America is still doing 5 months later in Arizona?
