And how many sons of the working classes were recruited by The King's Shilling only to be killed or severely injured to enforce this miserable drain of wealth?
The rich get richer. The full price is catastrophic.

My general complaint about narrowing the complex planetary crisis down to human-tech C02 emissions.
Never mind climate mediating systems of life on earth, related inorganic/organic processes/cycles, vast human inequity/suffering.

Rare earth's are so difficult to separate out in the rock matrix. Like associated heavy metals, they also exist in coal, fly ash, and phosphate rock added to soils.
There is little to no research on long term impacts to the food chain! Innert in freshwater? Oceanic geochemistry has impacts.

Billytech IS tatooed on Trump's rump, yes, and this "neo-Monroe doctrine" will control Rare Earth Elements and minerals essential for their stronghold against China and its vast reserves.
Venezuela is RICH in REE & catastrophic exploitation (in all senses) will also open up beyond those borders.

In my view, we can no longer leave these matters to "corporate" government cabals. Local knowledge, monitoring and agency to regulate are urgent.

"Urban mining" is also a factor now, because salvaging electronic waste means fewer ecologically devastating extraction licenses for high demand of rare Earth minerals, and the creation of construction materials from reused plastics, etc (depending on toxicity/energy use).

Rare Earths! Trump has it stamped across his BillyTech bought rump.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

Resistance rather than influence to bring about change?
Influence, after all, is more about patriarchal power, money, and "hero-worship"
