Epstein class grants itself permission to rape planet and people in pursuit of short-term profit. More at 9...

Rare isn't a binary quality, true. But the name isn't meaningless either. They're rare enough that superpowers compete over mining sites.

I'm not a chemist, but I've heard that a lot of substances (e.g. rare earths) are engineered into products in a way that makes them next to impossible to recycle. Which is bad because... it's in their name. 🤔

Here's a better way: make them pay a part of the recycling costs. The more complex the recycling process, the higher the costs. This will incentivise engineering things from the end of the lifecycle backwards, making components easier to repair and separate at EOL.

Alright, grandpa. Go back to sleep. The nurse will be here to change you any minute now.

The only national emergency I recognise started on 20 Jan 2025, and it's ongoing...

How I wish what you're saying will turn out to be true.

Yet, most I've seen from U.S. Dems is some fancy dressing for Donnie's address to Congress, some sad letters by Schumer, and Newsom trolling MAGA on Xitter. If this is all U.S. Dems have after YEARS of possible preparation, this revolution will be little more than a fart in the wind.

They've got a point though: we should no longer be buying U.S. goods for that would

• reward this openly hostile behaviour.
• play into Donnie's fantasy that tariffs will do anything to the U.S. trade deficit on goods.
• continue, if not deepen trade and technological dependency on a country that proved to be as fickle and unreliable as its diapered disaster of a president.

Don't worry, it's almost TACO Thursday.

If you choose to get bribed and not to apply your own antitrust laws, that's on you. Don't expect us to follow suit.

He can't. He pooped his diaper again, and Rubio and Miller got carried away with the game of "rock paper scissors" they initially started to figure out who's going to change Donnie...

It's a competition who can wreak more havoc in a limited amount of time: a government armed with plenty of weapons and jolly little morals, or a water-, energy- and land-wasting slop industry. The jury's still out, but it's a neck-and-neck race, and results heavily depend on who we manage to stop first.
