I work in neodymium and dysprosium refining.

Forget money, it takes MINIMUM 8 years to set up a proper system for mining, sorting, processing, refining and C&R. And that’s assuming you’re not behind schedule for even a day.

The US has about 1/10th of the domestic systems needed to refine both.

Let’s hope Americans are cool with waiting 10+ years for prices to drop below 500%

Fucking fascists.

It's never been about setting up American jobs, as another redditor put it, it's a bunch of junkies who got elected who are ripping out and selling the copper from the walls to sell to get their drug money.

If I’m lucky, I’ll be black bagged by the government and in a Salvadoran prison by then, and I won’t have to worry about increased prices for iPhones.
