Consequences of China's rare earth export halt
Beijing has suspended the export of certain rare earth minerals and magnets that are crucial for the global automotive, semiconductor, and aerospace industries. The New York Times stressed that stopping the export of magnets used to assemble so many products from drones to cars to missiles, was particularly troublesome as China produces 90% of the world market in magnets. The goods are currently in Chinese ports pending the introduction of new regulations. "Once in place, the new system could permanently prevent supplies from reaching certain companies, including American military contractors," notes the New York Times. In addition, the Chinese government has forbidden Chinese companies from maintaining any contact with certain American entities, including those in the military sector. Without magnets, cars and other products containing electric motors cannot be assembled. However, many more industries will be affected because: "The so-called heavy rare earth metals covered by the export suspension are used in magnets essential for many kinds of electric motors. These motors are crucial components of electric cars, drones, robots, missiles and spacecraft. Gasoline-powered cars also use electric motors with rare earth magnets for critical tasks like steering. The metals also go into the chemicals for manufacturing jet engines, lasers, car headlights and certain spark plugs. And these rare metals are vital ingredients in capacitors, which are electrical components of the computer chips that power artificial intelligence servers and smartphones," according to NYT. "If the U.S. continues to play a numbers game with tariffs, China will not respond," stated the ministry in Beijing. "China remains open to negotiations with the U.S., but threatening and pressuring are not the right way to engage with China," Chinese authorities announced on Friday. -

Wokeness and The Art of Hating Trump
If posters like you didn't FIRST post holier than now threads like this. The comment wouldn't come AFTER. It's quite amazing actually that you make the comments like that. It should be noted you made a very big deal yesterday of telling everyone you were ignoring me henceforth. Oops. We get it. You see everything better than most posters on here. -

Next holiday destination ?
Exactly. Instead of changing locations, just change the escort tyoe. Go for Russian or Ukranian escorts. They will only charge you 8,000 baht to spend an hour with you on your yacht. -

Arson Attack at Pennsylvania Governor’s Home, Suspect in Custody Possible Terrorism Charges
Latest update says the accused arsonist, Cody Balmer, harbored "hatred" for Shapiro, but doesn't go into details of why. I wonder if Balmer will say he is anti-Zionist but not antisemitic. Cody Balmer was "harboring hatred" toward Shapiro before setting fire at Governor's Residence, documents say ... When asked what he would've done if confronted by the governor while inside the residence, the complaint said Balmer stated he would've "beaten him with his hammer." ... Cody Balmer's mother says her son is "mentally ill" Christie Balmer told CBS News that her son is "mentally ill and he went off his medication" before the attack on the Governor's Residence and that she had tried to get her son "picked up" last week by four different police departments. According to Christie Balmer, she couldn't get anybody to help. https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/cody-balmer-governors-residence-fire-josh-shapiro-harrisburg/
