Well, yeah. That's the point.

China's rare earth controls can 'forbid any country on Earth from participating in the modern economy,' former White House advisor warns | Fortune

"They can do this because they diligently built industrial capacity no one else had the fortitude to build."

To anyone praising trump for his "incredible work of peace for Gaza," it should be noted that Israel still occupies 58% of the Gaza Strip, and they have no intention of leaving Gaza. I doubt they will stay inside their 58%.
This is all a bullshit sideshow to distract you from the Epstein files.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 1d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

The solutions proposed for New Zealand's (and virtually every other country's) problems are always like:
"We need to make people work for more years"
"We have to cut back on services, I'm sorry, there is just no other way"
"We have to cut benefits for young people"

never:
"We need to tax the rich"
