Interesting headline to run considering the causalities this thing caused...
Between this and Israel war, does anyone even give a fuck that people died?
I’m sure they do but reporting on deaths or any other form of devastation doesn’t preclude them from also reporting on things that might affect the global economy.
.
I literally have no idea what any of that is supposed to mean or how it’s related to this discussion.
And that's the issue...
I agree.
Yeah people are dying but won’t somebody please think of the share holders!
While all the wafer dies made come from this mine, it can be synthesized. This won’t end high end production, even if it were destroyed completely.
Yeah but that would deff hurt the mine owner tho, have you thought about that?
That’s what’s extra stupid. Damned thing isn’t even US owned. It’s a private company from Belgium.
