Didn't steal any of my money, I buy MIA.

Wow, I guess you don't buy anything from this list:


Critical Minerals (Not mined or insufficient in the U.S.)

* Rare earth elements (used in electronics, magnets, EVs)
* Graphite (battery-grade)
* Manganese (battery and steel production)
* Cobalt (batteries)
* Nickel (high-grade battery nickel)
* Lithium (limited domestic production; still heavily import-dependent)
* Tungsten (defense, tools)
* Niobium (steel alloys)
* Tantalum (electronics)
* Gallium (semiconductors)
* Germanium (fiber optics, solar)
* Indium (touchscreens)
* Platinum group metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium)
* Fluorspar (industrial chemicals)


Metals and Raw Materials

* Bauxite (for aluminum production)
* High-grade iron ore (certain types needed for specialized steel)
* Natural rubber (climate-dependent; not commercially viable in U.S.)
* Teak and tropical hardwoods
* Natural cork (Mediterranean climate required)
* Potash (fertilizer; some production but large imports needed)

Energy Resources

* Heavy crude oil (many U.S. refineries are configured for imported grades)
* Uranium (majority imported for nuclear fuel)

Agricultural Products (climate-limited)

* Coffee
* Cocoa (chocolate)
* Bananas
* Most spices (pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves)
* Vanilla (natural)
* Tea
* Palm oil
* Cashews

- Manufactured Components & Supply Chains

* Advanced semiconductor chips (leading-edge fabrication concentrated overseas)
* Many pharmaceuticals and active ingredients (APIs)
* Solar panel components
* Lithium-ion battery components
* Certain machine tools and precision components
* Consumer electronics (phones, laptops, TVs)

Textiles and Consumer Goods

* Silk
* Jute
* Certain synthetic textile inputs produced at scale overseas
* Footwear manufacturing (largely offshore supply chains)

In short, you're full of shit.

You seem angry that I buy Made In America products.
But yeah, I forgot I bought a couple pounds of uranium last month.

Hey, did you find out where Blackrock was moving their new headquarters?

Did you eat last month? Because the US has fuck all for potash (90+% is imported) and you don't get food without it. I can't believe morons like you are allowed in public.

The great news is we still have plenty of legal weed / cocaine / heroin / meth / alcohol / tobacco / opioids / and gambling all made even more legal by politicians. They sure know whats good for us better than we do.

Unlike you, old timer, I know how to use a search engine. Time for your nap and medicine now.

Pretty sure the local grower at the farmer's market where I get my veggies from just tills the soil and plants whatever without using imported potash. At least that's what she told me she does.

Well you certainly know how to copy and paste from ChatGPT for all your opinions.

Wow, you get 100% of your diet from the farmer's market? Such a bad liar.

can you post one fact to back up your horse shit without using AI

No, just the veggies I like and some random plants for my wife come from the farmer's market. There's a soap lady and an earring lady there too that my wife likes to buy from. All made locally in America.

Kudos for shopping at the farmers market. That's great. But please agree that you and every American could not survive without imports of fertilizer at the very least. Other than those small amounts of specialized veggies (and I bet she has some imports in her supply chain), every other bit of food requires imported fertilizer. That's just one major thing the US can't supply for itself, on a long list. No country is really self sufficient, that's why we have trade.

Maybe your country can't but we could survive just fine without other countries.

It's other smaller countries, like yours, that would be SOL without the USA

 

[Geo]

that's why we have trade.

We trade for monetary reasons.

I assure that Americans only buy the finest soy and sheep's wool imported from "New Zealand"

You're joking, right?

 

[Geo]

You're joking, right?

There is a big difference between survive and prosper.

And what makes you think we couldn't just take Canada and Mexico if we had to?

US crops don't require imported fertilizer/potash. There's other sources. A new large scale domestic industry could be started up making farming compost. Could have started a nice sized compost pile with all that unmaintained underbrush in California instead of letting it cause wildfires.

Wow! it's almost 7:30AM in New Zealand? Couch has been up all night posting here and has to go tend the farm/sheep all day now that the sun is up. When does this guy get any sleep?

I can tell you aren't a farmer and don't know any. Enjoy your delusions. Take care.
