Is anyone else concerned why none of our politicians seem to care about going after rare earth metals? They are THE FUTURE!!! They will be used for building EVERYTHING IN THE FUTURE!!! Everything from cell phones to car batteries (which wont contain ANY OIL) ALLLLLLL the way to fusion rocket engines to travel THROUGH SPACE! So WHY isn’t the strongest nation on the planet securing them and allowing China to go after them and surpass us so vastly while we fumble around worrying about oil??? Oh yeah, because of the fucking boomers and their propaganda machine , the corruption, and the worst parts of capitialism like lobby’s and big oil! I sometimes feel like our system is just so broken we are all fucked sometimes…
You said we’re the strongest nation on Earth, what makes you say that? I’d say it’s one of America’s greatest propaganda feats, we have proven we’re incompetent at security / defense to a degree that is impossible to deny. Any country could easily win a war by simply socially engineering our uneducated masses who would be administrating our tools.
If worst comes to worst, I would bet that we’re going to see a collapse of federal systems which is magically saved by companies opting for privatization of public systems so we can start paying to be in these national databases that we’ve been evidently freeloading off of for decades…
