    I’m not really sure the price of uranium has ever been a concern for… any civilian.

      Civilian here. There are companies that mine, store, transport and broker uranium. These companies employe people with different skill sets from physical labor all the way up to management. An increase in price may lead to an increased level of employment by these companies, thereby increasing the number of jobs, and play a role in impacting the economy at large. It makes sense for this kind of news to be filed in the business section, even if it doesn’t directly affect most of our day to day.

        I’ll tell you who it won’t benefit, Africans ruled by oligarchs who continue to screw them - and Westerners, Russians and Chinese who see it as a big ol’ fat juicy peach just a’ hangin’ out…

        Worst timeline.

          I’m pretty sure half the things that happen in the world ultimately wind up with regular Africans getting screwed.

            Unfortunately. Gamed from the inside, gamed from the outside. The defeatist mentality, the feudalism, foreign interests taking advantage, it all comes together as the most desperate condition in the entire world.

            It’s fucked and sad.
