Modern refinement to meet EPA requirements are not cheap, hence China was the source. Pakistan doesnt give a crap about pollution as well, so it makes sense to source from them as a cheaper source. US has alot of sources of minerals, its a matter of meeting EPA requirements and convincing the SW states to terraform giant ditches in the states where the sources exist.

No one wants refinement in the US due to pollution. US Strategic Metals just closed an initial deal to collaborate with Pakistan (China belt and road buddy) to help them mine/refine the minerals the US/World need. The first shipment to test for quality just arrived at US shores. The Pakistan deal is what esclated the issue again. Chinese no likey. Pakistan representaitives signed an agreement with Trump a few weeks ago, it wasnt much in the news.

The jobs exist in building the infrastructure for tech, not operating it. Duh.

We dont need new homes, period. Ive never met anyone who wants to live in a house living on the street. You must be complaining about affordiabilty to own, well, you not born entitled to own a home. Go rent. Once ICE kicks as much of the illegals out, there may be even more rental supply than you can imagine.

Thats how constuction works at scale, the builders temporary live on site and move on. Ive never seen a plumber, electrician, hvac etc with no work to do.

So what, there are tons of middle class tradesman needed to build and rack these building, in addition to tons of tradesman needed for power expansion. The tech companies finally giving back to society

This is a leveraged buy out, they are fucked.

600 = you looking for credit from a pawn shop, low 700s you have a really shitty interest rate. 800s no blinks giving you a great loan rate. Thats why they have scales.

If you go down to state/county level, they own quite a bit of land maintened as public land for recreational purposes (biking/hiking/kayak) depending on where you live. I live right next to very large forest/trails maintained by my county I enjoy using. The further you get from a dense city, the more common this is. I suspect 30%+ of US land is not developed on. Not sure what it means about water, but the oceans are vast and not all parts of the ocean ideal for commercial use.

This study was on normal people who probably dont move much. It was not done on athletic/fit humans. If you strength train or do high cardio workouts, the science changes. I do not know anyone who sits around all day taking protein supplements, they normally just eat junk food (not in pill/powder form).

I suspect track logitics/controls havent been updated to account for faster trains. More to a train than just the train.

Fake news, didnt know you talk to a real person scrolling mindlessly on Amazon's site and checking out.

UK just as dumb in other ways, remember just recently, British Steel was bought by China, and became Chinese Steel, and UK government took back British Steel? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fartic... Everyone dumb, never forget that. China invading EU with their BYD and everyone there loving it.

What tech innovation in the mobile space exists in EU?

Everyone hacks the US. But we have the black dorritos: B2 bombers. Cute.
