The U.S. cannot continue to be dependent on China for critical minerals. Richard A. Stern

@RichAStern This is true, but I would add that it will be more expensive to mine, refine, and process these minerals in the U.S. and any other western country. Part of that is pollution regulations (which aren't going away) and employee cost.

@RichAStern And it wasn't until EPA.

@RichAStern Quick! Slap some tariffs on Canada and Australia. That will fix this problem.

@RichAStern Jim Kennedy, Caldera Holdings has a plan in action. They could use connected with a partner & making sure the Federal incentive structure gets fixed.

@RichAStern Or anything besides sabotage and subterfuge. China is in a not-so-cold war with us. Countless examples could be given to back that up.

@RichAStern 12/23/21 @realDonaldTrump’s newest biz partner: A Chinese firm with a history of SEC investigations. Arc Capital, an investment firm that has been the target of probes by sec regulators, is at the center of the deal to take Trump’s media venture public.

@RichAStern Agreed. Critical minerals should’ve been a national focus years ago! But I guess better late than never. At $MTWO, we’re equally helping course-correct by building out a full-cycle, clean supply chain for the U.S. and its allies.

@RichAStern I would add we need to stop getting pharmaceuticals ASAP. Hope they're working on that.

@RichAStern 👍👍

@RichAStern Please show your goodwill. The CCP is the monster you raised in pursuit of reckless interests. Yet the U.S. still sanctions China, not the CCP. Israel still helps the CCP isolate China's internet, restricting the people’s access to truth and freedom of speech.
