China's Solution to Mine Accidents: Require a Manager in the Mine at All Times

Wow! I'm impressed! Really!

China has come up with a suggestion that actually makes sense...in both a socialist and capitalist context.

The problem? An increasing number of fatal and devastating mining accidents this past year.

The solution? Require that at least one mine manager descend with the other miners every shift.

The anticipated result? Potential dangers will be noticed and corrected promptly, and mine safety will become prioritized over profits.

You know.....it just might work!
