Speaking at the Sydney Mining Club, Rinehart said her country's mining industry couldn't compete with nations that are willing to pay workers less than $2 a day for their sweat and labor.

Maybe Jabba should mine her own ore. She'll lose weight and can pay herself $2/day.

And now she's back with some more helpful advice. Speaking at the Sydney Mining Club, Rinehart said her country's mining industry couldn't compete with nations that are willing to pay workers less than $2 a day for their sweat and labor. The implicit suggestion: Employers should be free to pay workers whatever they please. This echoes Rinehart's earlier to-do list, in which she urged Aussie lawmakers to cut the minimum wage so that, well, she wouldn't have to spend so much money on things like workers' salaries and benefits.

Remember, if it weren't for the beautiful 1% Eloi

... we Morlocks would be without a service mission and would probably all starve.

Yes, we certainly have marxist and pacifistic within our borders!

The fact that you use the word pacifist as a bad thing shows how utterly anti-Christian you really are. Jesus was the mother of all pacifists. There are so many contradictions in your philosophies.

Actually, there have to be far more Eloi than Murlocks for the Murlocks to survive. Prey always must have more total biomass than predator. I guess in Rinehart's case that's true.

Well I would take it for granted, that the Morlocks would be cannibals. Eloi meat would never be on our table. A difference from Mr. Wells vision.

Then what motive would the Morlocks have to feed the Eloi? The Eloi would starve and start fighting over what little resources they had, perhaps even become cannibals themselves. But having no knowledge of how to sustain themselves, the Eloi would go quickly die out.

Come to think of it, things can't end well for the Eloi in any scenario.

Motive? They should be grateful that the Eloi live above as a shining example, and that they get porridge and Morlock stew, down there in their tunnels tending the infrastructure. The Eloi DESERVE their place in the sun. It should be obvious!

Look around we are clearly headed in that direction.
