No sé si ya lo dijeron, pero el rescate de los mineros en Chile es un triunfo de la eficiencia estatal:
If those miners had been trapped a half-mile down like this 25 years ago anywhere on earth, they would be dead. What happened over the past 25 years that meant the difference between life and death for those men?
Short answer: the Center Rock drill bit.
This is the miracle bit that drilled down to the trapped miners. Center Rock Inc. is a private company in Berlin, Pa. It has 74 employees. The drill's rig came from Schramm Inc. in West Chester, Pa. Seeing the disaster, Center Rock's president, Brandon Fisher, called the Chileans to offer his drill. Chile accepted. The miners are alive.
Longer answer: The Center Rock drill, heretofore not featured on websites like Engadget or Gizmodo, is in fact a piece of tough technology developed by a small company in it for the money, for profit. That's why they innovated down-the-hole hammer drilling. If they make money, they can do more innovation.
Ayer el vomitivo Chris matthews leevo a su programa a un sinidcalista y entre ambos se despacharon a gusto diciendo que si se hubieran seguido las premisas del Tea Party, los cuales privilegian en individualismo sobre el cooperativismo, los mineros ya estarian muertos.
