Really interesting intro and very much looking forward to your interview with Justin, Bob. Love that you're educating us on occupations we might miss and the challenges workers face. Always enlightening and entertaining too.

Crash goes another misconception that all salt comes from the sea. Looking forward to Justin's insights, with the inimitable Merberg interpretation. Thanks for continuing to bring the real world into the comfort our our cosy offices, Bob. All the best for 2024!

Wow! Looking forward to the interview. I can only hope that Cargill is true to the minors before they are true to their profits.

“The most important thing to come out of the mine is the miner” is a sentiment which I respect tremendously.

Massive admiration for that work.

This article reminds me of someone I met who had worked a regular office job deep in a decommissioned salt mine that was used for archival document storage by the federal government.
