To put it into perspective, perhaps we just need to understand how much we export to the United States, Aussie raw materials are exported to many diverse countries, data from the Department of Foreign Affairs states exports of iron ore mostly go to countries like China, Japan, and South Korea, in 2022, approximately 1% of Australia’s total iron ore exports were sent to the United States (general data seems to reflect the same for the 2024 fiscal year). The US has primary sources for these materials that are domestic mines or they are imported from other countries such as Brazil and Canada.

On the other hand aluminium is slightly different. In 2022, around 10% of Australia’s total aluminium exports were directed towards the United States. Still though, this doesn't represent an enormous impact on Australian mineral resource exports where these numbers only reflect 0.075% of the Aussie GDP.

Right!! There is no rhyme or reason with these morons, sadly your post may be taken down due to not providing any links though.

That's well under 5%, we can do better!

Doesn't he realize that we can see him, so vulnerable in that glass house of his?

One thing is for sure: the insider traders we may or may not have elected to office are not breaking a sweat.

Like the economy was soaring and they wanted to rebuild from scratch. Are we winning yet?

I've been trying out Searx search lately and preferred it over Qwant. From some quick research, I found that Qwant does not track your search history or create personal profiles based on your searches. Seems like good news meaning users can expect a certain level of anonymity while searching online.

However, and this is why I avoid it, it’s worth noting that Qwant does share some data with Microsoft, particularly regarding ads and search results. This includes sharing your IP address and browser details for fraud detection purposes. Personally, sharing IP information with Microsoft isn’t something I’d want in a search engine, as it raises concerns about how much user data is still being shared despite their claims of anonymization.

Is Ironfox better than fennec right now?

It's frustrating that $100 million is only about 0.028760% of Elon Musk's total wealth ($347.7 billion). Let's hope more people abandon his failing companies and that other governments and big clients follow Fords lead.

When I visit FiveThirtyEight, I'm not there for long-form or short-form journalism; I'm there for the polls. It's the best poll aggregation website I know of, and it's sad to see them go.

Although it's a nice "kick when you are down" when Target Corp is in the red at - 13.5% this month.

So, the 99% will be paying for the damage, and nary a word will be spoken about a drunken, non-elected appointed representative who will be laughing about it in a week's time.

This 100%

For a second there I was thinking about the circumstances surrounding Ivana Trump's mysterious staircase death.

Ha! Given the insanity of this interview, I didn't think I needed to clarify.

What an abhorrent example of humanity they both are and what an embarrassment to the world this is.

Agreed, I subscribe to the conservative communities for a balanced perspective, but most of the posts tend to be made by trolls that are hell bent on their puerile obsession for owning the libs. I'm pretty sure users of Lemmy aim to rise above this BS.
