Yay war! It’s amazing how every single news story now relates to national security. I swear, you could find a new way to grow asparagus and they would tell us its impact on national defense.
The new way to grow asparagus will lead to an major increase in asparagusic acid which, after being processed through the human body, is a major component in our chemical weapons...
We’ll see how long the environmental permits and lawsuits take to settle. My guess is 10 years before an ounce of any metal is smelted, if any at all.
Asparagus bombs. We don’t talk about asparagus bombs.
I love asparagus
It only effects 40% of the population. The rest of you apparently do not smell. (You just stink) < /jk>
Perhaps not with Trump’s EPA
In this case, it’s actually true. We need non-Chinese-controlled rare earths for both our military gear but also for US manufacturing to regenerate.
I’m waiting to hear either : an Indian tribe has claimed the mine is on sacred ground or Friends of the Earth says that irreparable damage will by cause dby the mine and has found a Federal Judge to grant a permanent injunction against any attempt to extract the ore.
bkmk
I hope the Cheneys are in no way invested.
Unless I am mistaken, Trump can waive those lawsuits and permits for matters of national defense.
“We don’t want to asparagus. We want to asparag them.” - Patton
Somewhere out there in Internet land there’s a Chinese feller reading this thread who’s going, “Horry clap, asparagus bombs! Better forward this one to the home office!”
Book Mark for asparagus
You forget who’s running the EPA?
“The new way to grow asparagus will lead to an major increase in asparagusic acid which, after being processed through the human body, is a major component in our chemical weapons...”
Quite so. Will that be considered depleted asparagus or enhanced asparagus?
I’m glad you’re so optimistic. However, you apparently missed who runs the EPA, how SCOTUS has been ruling, and who has been pushing along with Native American Tribal organizations to bring back the Washington Redskins name which along with the Chief’s profile on the teams helmets and merch, honored one of the tribal chiefs. The main reason sports teams adopted Indian names for their teams was due to the toughness, ferocity in battle, and loyalty to their family and tribes. Trump is on their side and I’m with them. It’s Redskins, Indians, and Seminoles etc. that’s my opinion and if folks don’t like it, they can KMWA.
