What do you think the Chilean government should do to compensate the 33 miners who have been trapped underground for more than two months?

Firstly I think they will be lucky to be alive and if it were not for the Chilean government they would be left down there to die as the mining company whom they work for is nearly bankrupt after spending the 1.7 million to rescue the miners and likely would not have the funds/resources fast enough to get'em out. In a perfect world of course they would come out of that mine to a heroes welcome and live happily ever after but in a much harsher reality they will be down there for a long long time and a Chilean judge has only ordered an earmarked 1.8 million in company money to help pay for the lawsuits filed against San Esteban and the Chilean government. If the 33 miners were to split evenly the 1.8 they would each be entitled to $54 545.45.

Now that amount of cash might go farther in Chile than it would elsewhere but it will not allow them the financial freedom to retire anywhere. Remember in Armageddon when they asked that the miners turned astronauts never ever be required to pay taxes again? I think that would be a realistic reward for the amount of time they have been trapped in the mine because it requires no immediate output of any government or San Esteban money up front.29 of the 33 miners have families that have filed suit seeking 12 million in damages from San Esteban and the Chilean government.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
