#CriticalMinerals are no longer "obscure" components, they are essential to the green transition. Africa holds 30% of the world’s reserves, but extraction alone won’t drive development. 🏗️🔋How can mineral-rich countries benefit from the green transition? theigc.org/blogs/critic... #Econsky

Got The Economist this weekend. Read about the rallies of AOC and Bernie. Nothing about their role in fighting US kleptocratic fascism.

A few more years of trash talk, misinformation, and brainwashing, and the US public will think it's a good idea to invade Canada, and US soldiers will be comfortable with bombing and killing Canadians. www.economist.com/graphic-deta...
