I found this article somewhere:
Workers of various fishing and canning companies here became very emotional when they received their final paychecks, thanks to rising fuel costs that have forced the businesses to scale down operations.
Is it correct to use thanks to in this context? I feel that one uses thanks to (= because [of]) for positive statements only.
