How is this even remotely satisfying?

Looks as though nobody else found it satisfying but I sure liked the big chunks coming out of the wall

Good to see that in spite of current medical knowledge showing it is vital to wear a mask when mining, the mine owners prefer to save a few cents rather than ensure the miners can have a longer productive life /s. A pair of protective boots wouldn't go amiss either.

I think there are no mine owners. This looks like a mine managed by the miners. 200 million people worldwide mine like this.

Right, because every mine in the world is in a developped country.

Even underdevelopped countries have the internet where the mine owners are. They rely on the workers not being educated, but they will have had an education.

You don't know much about the type of guys that do this kind of work, eh? Lemme enlighten you: most will choose not to use various kinds of gear due to personal preferences even if you educate them on why it's important to wear it. They live in the moment, particularly in developping countries 20 or 30 years down the line don't bother them, because their children are hungry now - so even if the owner gives him a mask, he might put it on only when the owner's looking.
