That’s not happening anytime soon. Nestle and others have positioned themselves for years now to ending child labour in their supply lines. Yet child slaves are still used in the farming of chocolate.

No problem with fat Donald or Orange man shtick.
Supreme_War_Pig:Must you ruin every thread with this shtick?
I didn’t care for that either, and you won’t find a post from me engaging in that childish behavior.
The one I absolutely detested the most: “Cheeto Jesus”.
But did you make the same declaration to your brethren about it, the way you did here?
Seems you scrolled on by and let it continue. Try the same for this one. It didn’t hurt before, it won’t this time either.
I actually did, but you know how it was.
Remember Putin took Crimea because he knew what was basically this same admin would do nothing…
Biden has no brain…
Not true…unless you think we should have gone to war?

The Obama admin would not even arm Ukraine. Remember the dems were all chanting the ukraine was full of Nazis…

we sure have come a long way from the “endless wars” chants.
So you are for endless wars?
Here’s an article outlining what Biden’s foreign policy plans look like. They want to go back and fight in Syria again. Who know why? Just like who knows why the Obama/Biden Admin bombed Libya into chaos starting a civil war and the return of slavery. Perhaps peace and prosperity is not real profitable for them… https://www.lebanondemocrat.com/mtjuliet/opinion/bidens-task-would-be-to-fix-obamas-syria-failures/article_1dc03d10-d26c-527e-a83a-02c01bf69852.html https://www.foxnews.com/media/t…
Well, the point isn’t honesty or intellectual consistency, the point is always attack, and never give an inch. Calumny over country, and if you can actively work to damage the country, so much the better.

and a lot of it is based in irrational and selfish misdirected fear.
Trump Doctrine. He actually helped Ukraine instead of grifting its energy businesses with relatives on the take.

As well as extorting them for dirt on a political opponent.

Take whatever is of value and whoever wants to come and drop it in west Utah/New Taiwan.

Truth and facts are obstinate that way.
SixFoot:The green energy fantasy will require semiconductors and rare earth metals. These resources will replace wars for oil.

Nah, Chinese messed up spending so much to corner the lithium market, because we have now figured out how to cheaply extract it from seawater.
Scientists have cost-effectively harvested lithium from seawater | Electrek
The researchers estimate that the cell would need only $5 of electricity to extract 1 kilogram of lithium from seawater, and the value of hydrogen and chlorine produced by the cell would more than offset the cost. Further, residual seawater could be used in desalination plants to provide freshwater.
Win, win, win Oops
Where are they going to get the stuff that is required to build the lithium extraction plants?
There is a saying … if it cannot be grown, it has to be mined. Nobody has found that to be untrue yet.
It was a perfect phone call and the players that testified are also in the Durham net.
This is fun.

If only it were so. L
The semiconductor industry is a major piece of infrastructure. Both physical and human. It will take years and billions. probably trillions. And no guarantee the human capital is available.
The ugly answer is for Taiwan to arm itself with powerful enough weapons to make an attempted invasion by the CCP a mutually assured loss event. A sovereign nation defends itself.

Small children continue to mine cobalt in the meantime.
Some suppliers and businesses are now moving to certify they don’t get it from those sources, it should be mandatory, like we don’t allow importing ivory.

Same goes for them. Outlaw the use of child labor abroad, no product using it should be allowed into our market.
