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.

• 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...
