Rare earths are everywhere, but you’re right, the difficultly comes from profitable recovery. The US used to produce the majority of the world’s rare earth. Production is spooling up again with companies like MP Materials/ US Rare Earth and the Mountain Pass mine.
It has to beat the filibuster. They don’t need to pay anyone off.
It's more likely because the only thing people care about getting more expensive than food is technology, and also every single company in the entire U.S relies on computers in some form or another.
Wait... why are you here so often if you're not American?
Maybe he has a mutilation fetish.
Current mining ops could. I'm not going to PL, but I know miners. They will dig where the money is. You got to get rid of the environmentalists though. The government has to keep them away and let them do their thing.
There was this thing called a war that triggered that 60 years. Trump could trigger at least 12 in theory. He needs to win Bigly thus term to sell Vance tho.
My state-issued DL is "Real ID compliant," but I still just exclusively use my American passport at airports. It's essentially playing in god mode. "Here's an increasingly insipid list of bullshit you need for identification going through this line at blah blah blah ..." "Fuck you. Passport." "Yes sir, right away sir, this way sir!"
Stories like this always make me howl with laughter even though it's typically due to chinks in obvious gov positions, but because it's always shit like
ActBlue is paying out the big bucks tonight boys. Or one determined schizo with his army of bots.
It might be time for Null to update Kiwiflare once he figures out how they are bypassing it.
I have zero plans of worrying about Real ID. I renew my DL at AAA so I don't have to deal with going to the DMV. They can't do Real ID so I'll use my passport card at airports since it fits in my wallet like any other card.
I'm starting to question the purpose of the RealID because I was given the distinct impression that it was proof of citizenship within the US when I got it, the way regular State driver's licenses USED to be. Since they gave regular State driver's licenses to illegals, the RealID was SUPPOSED to correct this deficiency. But now, come to find out, it's not acceptable proof of US citizenship, even though I had to provide proof of citizenship in order to get it. And somehow, the illegals have RealID too. So why the FUCK did we even do this retarded exercise in the first place?
For one, Indian welfare is the only welfare I get so you shut your dang mouth!!!
I have known 6 individuals in my life that worked support services for Indians on twice as many reservations. Given their propensity to get diabetes, rape their daughters and sisters, and lack of delayed gratification - they'll never have that shred of motivation or cunning.
My uncle is an economic geologist whose career is based on finding mineral deposits. According to him, he tried to approach multiple states about possible locations of rare earth deposits worth investigating, and was told by heads of multiple state agencies "All mineral deposits that can be discovered, have been discovered. There is no point in looking, so you can't look." They weren't even citing counter-arguments about the geology, they were speaking ex cathedra based on politics. So it's not always even an economic question, it's that for decades government policy has been to prevent the development of local mining entirely.
everyone not in the MAGA bubble sees it as embarrassing, because Trump had all this big talk about "America finally putting its foot down" by doing big boy tariffs to the rest of the world, only to start gradually walking it back not long after, because shockingly, this might actually be a retarded idea after all.
Every rez in the state I'm in has a massive casino. There's 5 huge ones all within a 30 min to 2 hour drive. And it ain't California.
