China is preparing for real war against Taiwan, hoping that restricting these minerals will prevent Taiwan backers from replenishing their militaries in a war of attrition within a meaningful timeftame after invasion.

Boycott America? Sure. Buy British? Nice sounding sentiment, but don't fall for the trap. There are some resources we've got. Some we don't. Maximize our strengths, work with our friends.
Frankly, she's right. What you see countries like Canada doing is just as nationalist as what the US is doing, and the UK would be wise to stay out of it.
We need to stop this cascade of nationalism. Nationalism only leads to war. When countries are interdependent, they lose more than they gain through bloodshed. This is the only reason the past eighty years have been relatively calm, with wars only concentrated in places with little economic interdependence between aggressors.
Globalism, despite its faults, is the only true force for peace.
It's perfectly possible to do in the US, just costs a bit more. So, capitalism being what it is, that work got outsourced so the vultures could see higher numbers.
They're called "rare earth elements", but they're extremely common. They're just in trace amounts...everywhere in the Earth's crust. China stopping exports just means everyone else will have a reason to extract them, when before China was just a path of least resistance. Will take a bit of time to re-establish industry though.
Mayne pedantic, but:
Everyone seems to think CEOs are the problem. They are not. They report to and get broad instruction from the board. The board can fire the CEO. If you got rid of a CEO, the board will just hire a replacement.
Whoa I never considered AI inbreeding as a death for AI 🤔
It's not that they're doing something special, it's a cultual attitude thing. Finns feel content that they have enough, and aren't upset they don't have more. They consider that to mean "happy" for the purpose of these kinds of surveys.
Why don't I just Google. It's the same data after all.
I'd rather the war go on until Russia runs out of their remaining money, and then collapses again like in 91.
