This is exactly my point. I've lived in rural areas for my entire life and this story triggered me. I've heard the complaints for years about outsourcing and losing our industrial jobs to China. These are valid issues for people in the U.S.. Many plants have closed. People lost their jobs. So many complain about it and for good reason. Then when new opportunities come in they want the government to stop it.

The concerns about sound are completely valid and a smart miner never would have let it become a valid issue, but a lot of this is just people complaining about something they do not understand. I'd argue that is also the miner's fault.
