We import >80% of our rare earths from China.

I wonder if they’ve told Trump to request a call.

Just wanted to say POTUS is looking well, a bit thinner in the face and very healthy. Anyone noticed a difference?

Art of the meal?

I wonder what the rare earths restriction means to Tesla.

The WH announcement literally was called "Clarification of Exceptions", lardass.

[jon-nyc]

Jesus. How do they expect businesses to make any decision whatsoever?

The most charitable explanation is that Navarro/Lutnick just take their fight public after losing a skirmish in a conference room somewhere.

As for an update on "Drill, Baby, Drill", more drills were shut down in the past week than in the past 2 years.

FFS. Now they’re exempting Temu and Shein.

So now China is boycotting Boeing, presumably switching all their business to airbus. Planes parts service, the whole Monty.

Boeing is in for a rough time, imagine losing all those orders, and Boeing factory people being layed off because of the lost market potential.

The country's top three airlines – Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines – have plans to take delivery of 45, 53 and 81 Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025-2027, Reuters reports.

Sounds like a lot of jobs. I wonder how many of the workers voted for this.
