@cekdrew @NuryVittachi $MP has also produced REE for sale…

@NuryVittachi The government stake and funding in USA Rare Earth is not finalized.

TWO RARE EARTH companies set up by the US to replicate China’s rare earth sector are fighting each other, it was just revealed. And neither has produced any rare earth elements for sale yet. One of the firms, MP Materials, is taking the other, USA Rare Earths, to court for “theft” of technology—as revealed in claims filed at a Texas court last week, detailed by Bloomberg yesterday. “USA Rare Earth has repeatedly failed to meet its commercial and performance targets and is now resorting to stealing technology to dig itself out,” the court document says. The crux of the matter is that MP says it developed a process to prevent demagnetization—but the rival company poached an MP staff member to get access to that classified knowhow. . HEAVY WEAPONS Rare earth production is extremely difficult, dangerous and labor-intensive, so the world has been content to allow the Chinese to do it for decades. But in recent years, the US realized it needed rare earths for heavy weapons with which to dominate the world, including China. The State Department realized it would be awkward to buy Chinese items for use in a war on China. So taxpayer cash has been diverted to copy the Chinese (a US$400 million equity investment in MP in July 2025, and a US$1.6 billion investment with USA Rare Earths in January this year.) The whole process is will take a while. “While USA Rare Earths has won US government backing, it is yet to mine rare earths or produce magnets commercially,” the Financial Times reported today. MP appears to be ahead and says it is working with General Motors to test rare earth magnets it has produced for use in cars. The US could save billions by simply continuing to trade with China, but its we-must-lead policy, a condition defined by psychiatrists as “megalomania”, is brutally up-ending global trade relationships.

I hope Rick Ross shows growth on the new album. Hope he talks about being 50+ , having multiple kids out of wedlock, being a parole officer in his younger days before rap. Show us a different side than his drug dealer persona

@MichiganNation2 Muslim people don’t care about their own representation. So many have a chance to move out the west or go to a school not in the west but they still go there. Move out or shutup

How about we start interviewing the actual victims: the wives. Not someone who made about 100 decisions to have let this occur in the first place and had about 9000 chances to say no. This young woman chose it. Many, many, many times. The wife did not.
