I’m confused

Out side of my work there are a group of people protesting against mining, fair enough. I asked one of them if they were opposed to mining in general. He said he was, I commented that all the fixtures on there musical equipment came from product being mined. I also reminded him, whether he drove a car here or caught public transport, virtually all those things came from being mined. He just stuck his banner in my face and started dancing around like an idiot and tried to stop me from passing. What a fool, I pushed him aside and kept walking.

Some of my ancestors immigrated here from Russia to work in a mine and I still have distant cousins there. They are mining geeks I tell 'ya. If it wasn't for the mine, I probably wouldn't be here. Actually, you wouldn't know it's there unless someone told you, it's not like they put those things in the middle of a bustling metro area.

@TamAngel I,m glad they don't as we would all be living in a hole.

A stupid ignorant girl said to me "I think it's cheaper just to dig the stuff out of the earth rather than make it themselves" I was so stunned by her stupidity I didn't know what to say 🤔 So I folded my arms while blinking and nodding my head like the girl on the tv show, I Dream Of Jeannie. She got shitty and said, I'm aware that making stuff isn't magic. I told her my gestures wasn't to demonstrate that making "stuff" was magic, I was trying to make you disappear. She got shitty and stomped off in a huff, and believe it or not she's a highly educated person, god help us all 🤷‍♀️
