    I reworded my response to this four times, but settled on this.

    I guess this insane turn to fascism and cutting off all economic ties to the world might seem like a “normal progression” but I wouldn’t call swerving into oncoming traffic a normal progression. (He’s here we are I guess)

      China produces the bulk of rare earths the US uses for things like military production, which puts the US as dependent on China as Canada is dependent on the US. The reality is absurd no matter which way things go.

      Europe is doing carbon border adjustments to attempt to do something similar if I’m not mistaken, though its still early stages.
