House have stopped paying attention to him. He's all over the place on everything. It's like the boy who cried wolf.

I'm going to tariff everyone. They will be reciprocal. Ok, I'm really going to do it. Wait, I'll delay a few days. Ok now I'm really doing it. Boom, done!!! LIBERATION DAY!!!! Yay, all that oppression just disappeared I guess. Oh wait, they're not reciprocal? Ok, whatever. They will stay for a looong time. They will be in place until we get agreements and deals with people. I'm going to make deals. 50 people, no 70 people have kissed my butt asking for deals. A dozen countries have offered to drop all tariffs. Ok, I'm making a deal. Ok, deals will roll in. Ok, I'm dropping the tariffs to 10% for everyone, except the Chyna virus people, they got mean. But since everyone else kissed my butt, I'll lower them. OH, the EU jacked up tariffs? Well, I'll forget about them because CHYNA is evil.

Oh, and there is still not one single deal WITH ANYONE.

I mean ### is this?

Nobody produces close to the rare earth minerals that China does. We are in second place and need all we can import from China.

Actually...not really. This is one of those odd modern urban legends you hear repeated everywhere for whatever reason but isn't actually true. Rare Earths are not actually rare at all..what they really are is inconvenient.

They're present in the tailings of iron, copper, and gold mining, and in phosphate rocks and uranium ore. You can also get a lot of it from the monazite sands they process for titanium, thorium, and zirconium in South Africa and Brazil.

The stuff is actually everywhere. The problem is it tends to be locked up in other stuff...and getting it out is dirty, high-energy, and environmentally toxic as he!!. Which is why we've been content to let China do the heavy lifting since they don't care sh!t about fouling their own nest as long as it makes money, and since they're free to poison and toxify away and produce it mostly in fringe regions like Inner Mongolia and Sichuan (which is heavily Nepalese) because eff those guys anyway. (China is not the monolith we perceive!) So they can do it a lot cheaper than we can Stateside...and we duly let them.

We could get all we needed from this hemisphere or even better Australia since they have endless tailings and a huge empty desert, and within probably ten or twelve months. We just don't wanna right now.

Correct!

Also there is an EO fast tracking all mineral mines through EPA/Corps since early March.

It’s a good thing they just fired all the federal employees supporting mining technology and mine safety. Any new mine likely won’t be producing until long after he’s in the ground.

Could you elaborate on this? Are you referencing NIOSH?

Used to be called the US Bureau of Mines, but Clinton rebranded it NETL. Mining technology, but also a lot of work on uses for coal (gasification, liquefaction), especially under Bush, then later some work on fuel cells, carbon sequestration, etc. CDC/NIOSH are in s separate department (HHS vs DOE) and were in charge of mine inspections and such (their data for powder explosions is sort of the standard). They haven't hit the contractors yet, but it's coming.

Oh and I'm with ya on the last post.

It was a nice little campus; haven't been there in a long time, but they were starting a couple of new buildings last time I was there. I was just reading on bauxite and read that none of the US bauxite goes into aluminum anymore, but into ceramics and abrasives mainly. That's why the Canada tariffs were so devastating to Alcoa.

Yes great campus up there.
I know Alcoa well. My former employers HQ was also in Pittsburgh and we had some big contracts with them.

I didn't know that processing is the problem, not mining. The rare earth ore mined here was being shipped to China for processing. It's a good thing Trump contracted to start up a processing facility in 2022. I have to do the research on whether Elon and the incels have cut that contract yet.

It depends on if raw ore, tailings from coal or other mining. It's a nasty process either way and thus why we "sub" that portion out.

I'm just glad that Trump decided to support moving some processing here. It was harder for him to do while Biden was president, but somehow the Orange Jesus got it done.

This was probably another thing like Mexico paying for our wall. He realized it's not going to happen. Same as his peace in the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine ending the war in 1 day after taking office, acquiring Greenland, defeating the cartels, and Canada becoming the 51st state. His sweeping tariff plan was a mess. Seems everything he promises never works.
