  1. The MINING companies are using mercury* to process gold - they do so in Central America for instance. They couldn't get away with that shit in the "First world" countries - but there all the available god has been exploited anyway. And if they kill (directly and indirectly) some/many tribes in Amazonia for instance - who cares. No press there to report and no one else will hold the vultures accountable (apart from some NGOs). * The form they use is not as bioavailable - but then they use much higher quantities - and needless to say they do not dispose correctly of that dangerous waste, that would cost more. And I think they COULD use other methods - they are just more expensive. The bosses of the Canadian, European or U.S. mining companies (huge multinationals) do not order that directly of course. They hire someone who hires someone. The countries where it happens are poor, usually the justice system is severely corrupted or there are ways to make bad things happen to people who disturb the lucrative status quo. Than includes members of the press or the justice system if they step on powerful toes. In countries where you have a lot of poverty it is CHEAP to hire a mercenary. That also undermines the full and fair delivery and application of the law. Even if the country is a "democracy" in name. When in Mexico the gangs rule and they can eliminate politicians, when the prosecutors and judges die one after the other (as has happened in the Philippines - that was before they got the crazy man into power - there is a reason why a figure like Duterte can rise to power) - then the high and mighty and organized crime can do whatever they please. Members of the police, the press, politicians, justices and prosectors who value their life and that of their family members will only go after the underlings - and leave the "big fish" alone.

  2. American healthcare system - ignore the symptoms until it is not possible anymore (the first AND the second time). If they had admitted her again and sooner when her condition got worse (in school) her liver might have been saved. with a transplant (and the immune suppression for life) her life expectancy drops. and She should not have kids, not only to not pass on the genetic disorder but also because a pregnancy is a major strain on the body. She can't have that.
