The mining operations of the Chinese rare earth mineral deposits leaves behind huge toxic and radioactive waste dumps.

This is what always gets me about ultra-liberal environmental laws in the United States (which, by and large, are a good thing). Liberals are very happy to drive EVs and build millions of windmills, both of which use vast quantities of REMs. But they don't want the toxic effluent in the U.S., so they happily outsource REM mining and production to China and other third world countries with no or minimal environmental safeguards.

Whatever happed to their silly mantra "Think Globally, Act Locally"? If they were truly "Thinking Globally" and had integrity, they would refuse to buy ANY products that use REMs including Teslas and all "green energy" from windmills.

” If they ... truly ... had integrity....”


Well, there you go. Some, very few, liberals have integrity. Not ONE Leftist has any.

Of course, none of the Libs have an IQ above 80, and only the elites among them. Thinking and logic are most definitely optional, and facts only apply when convenient.

I’m convinced that if you could eliminate liberals from all of history, by now we’d have a galactic empire - they’ve held us back THAT much.
