Its far past time we stop using GDP as a measure of an economy. Our economy in America is based on services, social media/Big Tech, health care and govt expenditures. Meanwhile, we wonder why a country like Russia can shake off sanctions when produce raw materials and energy. And China may (or may not) have a smaller GDP than the US, but here again, they have a real economy that produces finished products that the world needs.

Some day people have to realize that you have to produce goods for sale to be viable. A service based economy cannot prosper. It's simply passing around a bucket of money, losing some to frictional losses, losing more to taxes. In the end the bucket of money empties out due to losses, and it all collapses because nobody is earning a real income by producing, growing, mining, etc real products.

Twin Metals is owned by Antofagasta plc (Chilean), pretty interesting mining system

Twin Metals Minnesota

Mining lease battle history. I spent a couple of weeks canoeing in the BWCWA and it is one of the most amazing places I have ever visited.

Ely, Minn., Jan 26, 2023 – Twin Metals Minnesota is deeply disappointed and stunned that the federal government has chosen to enact a 20-year moratorium on mining across a quarter million acres of land in northeast Minnesota. This region sits on top of one of the world’s largest deposits of critical minerals that are vital in meeting our nation’s goals to transition to a clean energy future, to create American jobs, to strengthen our national security and to bolster domestic supply chains. We believe our project plays a critical role in addressing all of these priorities, and we remain committed to enforcing Twin Metals’ rights.

Who the hell believes it is reasonable to lease or otherwise grant our mineral resources to another country? This and selling farmland and other real estate to foreign buyers like the Chinese needs to end.

I haven't fully completed my bugout shelter down here (in case I can't get back to TN). Plus my boys aren't quite old enough to help when the US completely collapses.

Plus I thought the gop claimed whores shouldn't be VP. Guess blonde ones are ok

Since when? If you want to categorize Palin as a whore, I guess that is your preogative. Outside of that, not sure what you are specifically pointing to.

Cost of selected goods/fuels (ground chuck, eggs, milk, gasoline, and NG) over the past 2 years. This is unbelievable. 30-70% increase (more for eggs). We are at the edge of disaster.
