I guess they're investing in what they see as an important human asset. It's kinda like buying clothes for candidates... but different.

Meanwhile, Biden helped China gain control of the largest cobalt supply in the world, and is trying his best to destroy the petroleum industry and force everyone to drive electric cars.... cars that require cobalt. How much money will HE make from that, Ax?
