200 million euros? That's nothing compared to what they make, natural ressources should belong to the people.

Joannot Fampionona Diamonds ain’t no Ressource its a rock like every other. It’s literally useless. If you have monopoly over anything you could even make sand expensive. Like one sandcorn 100k€

The amount collected for one year is $4,500,000,000 without total cost deductions. In five years, the amount would be 27,000,000,000 without deducted total costs. Those numbers are conservative estimates.

How will "the people" benefit from their natural resources if specialized equipment costing billions of dollars is needed to get to the resources? Or do you expect the company that spends those dollars, to just hand it to "the people" once it has been made available, without any compensation for the risk and effort it took to recover the resource?
