The manure is about to hit the fan. Capital Economics estimated on Wednesday that shipments from China to the U.S. could drop by >50%.
So we can just make this stuff in America, right?
Not only do we not make this stuff in America. We don't make the machines that make this stuff in America #EconSky

The results are IN for our industrial action ballot! On a 64.0% turnout (our highest ever confirmed %age), 72.2% of voters said they were prepared to strike, with 81.2% prepared to engage in action short of strike.

🇪🇺 The European Commission has not proposed any deals on minerals to Ukraine, contrary to claims by Politico, says EC spokesperson Thomas Regnier.
"Since 2021, the EU already has a partnership with Ukraine on critical raw materials," he added.
