“” Take the Handle off the Pump “” a good lesson from a few hundred years ago regarding ground water. Developed over 2 hundred years, keep the outhouse , septic system, garbage dump, away back from the well. Plenty of government regulation for that, because “ the stupid “ need regulating . Regarding Covid, who takes the handle off the pump when the elderly to begin with ,and many in between are dropping like flies world wide . Who ? Yikes Pandemic! ! We have experienced that before. Got to go with science, and those whose LIFE EXPERIENCES are vaccines… NOT JOE SHMOE FROM COCAMOE

re <<Science>> ... my understanding is that China absolutely shall not and never sell rare earths to unfriendly domains for anything remotely military and shared military/civilian uses - makes sense scmp.com China rare earths deal will ‘hopefully’ be done by Thanksgiving, says Scott Bessent Treasury chief disputed a Wall Street Journal report saying China plans to restrict rare earths access for US companies with military ties Reuters Published: 12:34am, 17 Nov 2025 A rare earths deal between the US and China will “hopefully” be done by Thanksgiving, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in remarks that were broadcast on Sunday. Bessent’s comments follow a framework agreement announced last month in which Washington agreed not to impose 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese imports and China would hold off on an export licensing regime for crucial rare earths minerals and magnets. “I am confident that post our meeting in Korea between the two leaders, President Trump, President Xi (Jinping), that China will honour their agreements,” Bessent told Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures programme. Bessent also disputed a recent report in The Wall Street Journal that said Chinese officials planned to restrict access to rare earths for US companies with ties to the military.
