am hilarious-ed, a verb, this morning reading the news flow it seems that, after all the debates, heart meds best be kept at night stand(s) as well as on kitchen counter, and in car glove compartments, and also in wallet, just as the cases be for, oh, say, for examples, germanium / gallium it is a matter of long- vs short-terms imagine what happens if availability of ostensibly plentiful 'stuffing' all go unobtainium all at the very same inconvenient time, including active ingredients for all generic meds, and stuffing such be titanium, ... rare earths ... what have you ... other what have yous ... and what haven't yous even if some of the stuffing can theoretically be dug out from the moon, filtered from stars and sucked out from under deep ocean. the problem with neolibcontards, and they are actually the same lot, so best use one word for both groups, same same for 'dempublicans', is that they cannot do basic math. i mean, look, what kind of morons unless they are cretins would borrow money from China to pay China interest, and to supply such borrowed money to Ukraine to degrade Russia who are then forced to combine forces with China and defend China? Well, 'mortins', I supposed, unless 'cretons'. Hilarious ought to be a verb, as in "wehilarious-edevery day, day after night after day". bloomberg.com US Says It Can’t Cut China Out of Critical-Minerals Supply Chain - ‘Perfectly happy’ to work with China, Fernandes says - China plays key role in processing vital minerals, US says A worker on a production line of electric vehicle motors and drive control systems in Ningbo, China. Photographer: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg By Iain Marlow 23 September 2023 at 01:21 GMT+8 The US won’t be able to cut China out of the critical minerals supply chain even as Washington seeks to diversify its sources of the ingredients that go into everything from electric vehicle batteries to solar panels, a top Biden official said on Friday. “This is not about China,”Jose Fernandez, the US under secretary for economic growth and the environment, told a briefing in New York. “We are perfectly happy to work with them on this and right now we purchase many of the minerals from Chinese companies. It’s about diversifying.” China’s key role in the processing of raw minerals means it will remain a key US partner, Fernandez said, especially because those minerals are a crucial component for the batteries that power electric vehicles. The broader use of EVs is a central tenet of the administration’s climate change efforts. “The world needs them to be involved — the broader picture is climate change, and we’re not going to solve the climate crisis without the involvement of the PRC,” he said, referring to the country’s formal name, the People’s Republic of China. Fernandez leads a State Department initiative called the Minerals Security Partnership, which aims to help funnel foreign investment and western expertise into the mining sectors of developing nations that help supply key raw materials such as lithium, manganese and cobalt. “China is the second-largest economy in the world, a major trading partner of the US,” he said. “We will continue working with them while pursuing our interests and protecting our companies and criticizing them when we feel they should be criticized.”
