... unless the US becomes independent of the Chinese and their Rare Earth domination. So, do you support a 'National Champion' approach to this, where the Government 'subsidizes' a sector of the Economy? You know, 'State Capitalism'.
"National champions
National champions are corporations which are technically private businesses but due to governmental policy are ceded a dominant position in a national economy. In this system, these large organizations are expected not only to seek profit but also to "advance the interests of the nation"; the government sets policies which favor these organizations.Wikipedia"
China is number 1. according to the the USA is number 2 -but residential

You are missing the point of 'National Champions'.
Do the Chinese have 'regs' on their SOE (National Champions)?
You, and your 'Pure Capitalists', call everything 'Communism' when the Government steps in to Promote America.
When I mention 'Central Planning', you go ballistic. You think the 'Market' will dictate the Future.
You fail to see China using Central Planning to Promote China and their Autocratic Government as 'The Future'.
In my view, the U.S. can use Central Planning as a Way to Promote America and Western Democracy.
You seem to be stuck in a Religious Devotion to Pure Capitalism as The Answer.
Rare Earth Metals should be an easy Test for you. Opt for the 'Market' to dictate Events, or use Central Planning and Government Subsidy (National Champion) to ensure Western Democracy and America prevails.
(naturally, I expect you and Darth to begin stuttering: 'but, but, but that's communism')

Australia will be mining rare earth elements and sending them to texas if I recall right where processing plants will be constructed.kinda old news .this was worked out under the trump addmin
India boiler room call center pimping penny stocks says what? next.
I think we are both on the same side of this issue. You seem pragmatic and practical. I believe Dukkha and Darth are both 'Pure Capitalists'. They have more of a Religious Devotion to what they perceive as Free Markets, Open Markets.
Dukkha is from Florida, but is probably unaware of what subsidies the Sugar Industry gets from Government.
