Enough of this damn craziness! Time for CHINA! China uber alles! Hail Xi Jinping!
"YOU MAY HAVE heard that China has cornered much of the world’s supply of strategic metals and minerals crucial for new technology, including lithium, rare earths, copper, and manganese used in everything from smartphones to electric cars. As of 2015, China was the leading global producer of 23 of the 41 elements the British Geological Society believes are needed to "maintain our economy and lifestyle" and had a lock on supplies of nine of the 10 elements judged to be at the highest risk of unavailability.
But you may not know that China is also on track to control most of the world's flow of high-capacity online services—the new industries, relying on the immediate communication among humans and machines, that will provide the jobs and opportunities of the future."

I'd like to see more arranged marriages around here. You can't get a good woman around here and know that you have her. In China, they can pay a price. They have a wife (or well, she has a puppy, whatever the case); it all makes sense, people! No, not around here. No puppies, no wives. No nada.

And it'd all be above board. I might have to pay for it. Or vice versa. Look, I don't care the feelings. I care about results, people! Damn lunatics over here don't understand that feelings are IRRELEVANT! Damn them! Insanity!

That's what I say. I speak for myself, not the PA Dutch. But the PA Dutch, I do believe, are quite tired of this damn craziness. And it goes beyond just the ingredients in the lay's potato chips. More concerns than just that.
