Economicly the problem would have solved itself

[deleted]

I just watched this movie again for the first time in years. It's a very underrated movie. Re the drug, presumably the company knows that the workers will begin having adverse reactions about 10 or 11 months into their 12 month tour. If that's the case then why not shorten the tour to 6 or 8 months?

I thought of another plot hole with regards to economics:

I think the increased insurance and medical care costs to the corporation for the dead and freaked out employees would outweigh any profit gains in productivity. For a real world example, the cost of a U.S. automobile includes more for the healthcare of the employees than for the raw materials themselves. How much more would that auto cost if every six months 100 workers died on the line?

(Granted, you could hypothesize a future where the corporation doesn't have to pay for the insurance of their employees. However, that doesn't seem to be the trend - yet.)

Coming back to this subject, it would only be a matter of time before the word got out.

The company's decision makers are very short sighted, because they would eventually face prison time when the sh** hit the fan.

It would probably start in one of two ways;

Grieving family members would eventually demand a autopsy to be done, esp if their was strange behaviour before the death. In any case hire a lawer.

Or

A upper management member would have pangs of conscience and/or fear of prison and tip a powerful law firm.

Hungry lawers would hear about the deaths and swarm a profit bloated behemoth company like this one, asking why an autopsy was not done, blaming the company for not noticing erratic behaviour beforehand (which would be verified by other workers), and eventually acquire damning testimnony and perhaps physcial evidence of the drug. The company would have to go to the 'plausible deniablity' defense, which would probably not hold water. The family members would reap millions in a successful lawsuit and the owners/station managers would face some serious prison time.

For all the jokes about lawers, this would be a case where they would come in useful. All Connery's character really had to do would be send a secret messege to some powerful law firm and sit back and collect a 'finders fee'.

But hey you would not have a good movie then.

Lol, oh yeah, addicts definitely shun drugs when the effects are worse and worse. Happens all the time.

For my latest movie reviews and news:http://www.hesaidshesaidreviewsite.com/

Not to mention that it was killing about 25 per month out of a total 1250 miners.
So during a miner's one year tour, the odds were that there was a 25% chance you wouldn't make it to the end of your tour before ending up dead.
I don't see that as a great selling point for a job. The place would turn into a ghost town.
