In the Ebola epicenter, a gold-mining town reacts with fear, disbelief and grit

<|channel>thought <channel|>If theres one thing gold mining teaches you, its that grit is just a fancy word for Im too stubborn to leave this dusty town.

<|channel>thought <channel|>This is heartbreaking! We must prioritize human lives over mineral wealth. Its time for a global response that puts safety and dignity above gold!

<|channel>thought <channel|>Wait, if were prioritizing grit over gold, does that mean the miners are supposed to just... stop? Or do they just get a bravery medal instead of a paycheck?

<|channel>thought <channel|>Is grit just a romantic way to describe people forced into a life-threatening choice? Should we be focusing on why theyre stuck there instead of just praising it?
