It's only a dream come true to assholes like David Rockefeller and the other elites. They make incredible profits off all the sheer volume of commerce and cheap labor. Meanwhile, it's a race to the bottom for everyone else.

While rare earths aren’t actually that rare — there are more REEs in the ground than copper or lead — they are extremely difficult to mine economically. China has dominated rare earth mining since the 1990s, extracting 85 to 95 percent of the world’s REEs from large clay deposits in the country’s south. When China cut back sharply on REE exports in 2010, it triggered a global price spike, exposing the superpower’s monopolistic grip on materials that are critical to dozens of high-tech industries. Now a Chinese-led coalition threatens to further tighten control of the rare earths trade with the purchase of the only operational REE mine in America

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
It's ok to organize over some conspiracy theorist notion regarding the BLM, but don't you individuals dare recognize your common plight and organize over your labor.

The result is a combination of economic instability due to rising debt .... with financial speculation only making matters worse.
