"But some artisanal and small-scale mining operations, known as ASMs, operate in poorer regions and places where child exploitation and human trafficking is common. "


Couldnt she write this article about most commodities? Why single out gold? Why include child slave labor instead of child labor? And least she think that "fair trade" gold or fair trade anything doesn't include child labor, I direct her to this....

because they've tried eveything else to make the herd ignore gold?
"time to try tweaking the liberal guilt trip nerve..."
and make buying/owning gold same as meat not produced on free-range farms - or better yet, make gold the equiv to a diet of bacon cheezeburgers and pork rinds, aiming for the prius and birkenstock set, who'll then be able to look down their noses and with scorn and derision point to gold hoarders as un-PC, prodding the political class to "do something about this problem"
