    So they lied about indigenous peoples living there; did more damage than permitted when exploring to see if it was even worth it, which included fucking up aquifers people rely on and killing livestock; the residents had to do their own impact study and found that people would be displaced; after the permit was canceled, they tried to divide the community to overcome resistance by giving residents gifts and trying to build water infrastructure to “fix” the damage they would be causing; the permit got canceled before they actually started mining (and it was canceled due to their own impact study being wholly inadequate, so it’s entirely their own fault anyway)… and all this is right next to a river that feeds into the Gulf of Mexico (meaning if -or really, when- this wholly untrustworthy company fucks up, we all pay for it)… and yet they want to sue Mexico for hypothetical financial losses?

    I hope Mexico tells them to fuck right off and never come back. They made that bed for themselves, greedy fucking swine. Mexico should countersue for restoration costs.
