![The early symptoms of the disease [California Curse], which break out almost on arrival in Hollywood, are a sense of exaggerated self-importance and self-centeredness which naturally alienates all old friends. Next comes a great desire for and belief in the importance of money above all else, a loss of the normal sense of humor and proportion and finally, in extreme cases, the abandonment of all previous standards of moral value.](/assets/img/quote-photos/the-early-symptoms-of-the-disease-california-curse-which-break-out-almost-on-a.jpg)

Capital does not 'beget profit' as Marx thought. The capital goods as such are dead things that in themselves do not accomplish anything.

california fairly generate gone issue largest major mercury mining moving needs nevada ranks recognize regulate sources states texas third though united western
Nevada still ranks as one of the major sources of mercury in the western United States, even with the fairly substantial reductions that have gone on ... probably the third largest state. I think we just went under California. Texas and California are the No. 1 and 2 states. But we're No. 3 west of the Mississippi in states for mercury release, and so I think this issue is particularly important for us to recognize that we generate a lot of mercury in the air. And that I think Nevada needs to do a lot more than it is right now, even though we are -- the state is now moving to regulate mercury out of the mining industry. Glenn Miller
