@preta_6 If it doesn’t land now it’s only bc politicians have been silent up until now. You have done your job in publicizing this. Don’t let them off the hook.
@anasalhajji The stated point of the taxes is to curb demand so it’s counterproductive to their policy aims to lift them as soon as they start working.
Today, Russia announced the ban of sulphuric acid exports.
Russia also banned the export of elemental sulphur late last year to protect its agricultural industry, as its domestic production has been declining. Like the sulphur export ban, the sulphuric acid ban is said to be in place until the end of the year.
Russia is the 12th largest exporter of sulphuric acid and almost all of it goes to Kazakhstan… the world’s tenth largest copper producer.
While we suspect that the ban on the ‘King of Chemicals’ (sulphuric acid) won’t make a big impact on the production of the ‘King of Metals’ (copper)… we are unlikely to see the record-high prices for sulphur and sulphuric acid prices come down any time soon.
In the DRC, we are already seeing high-strength sulphuric acid prices traded at over $1,000 per tonne… up well over 100% in the past 3 months alone.
While it’s not surprising to see countries prioritise food security and domestic supply chains over global free trade… any balkanizing of supply chains is nothing but inflationary.

@cselley In America, making money is a principle. In Canada, we are always being asked to forsake money for some other principle. It's always vague and implied, like we should know what it is, but is actually too stupid or exploitative to actually describe.
@leadlagreport I can somewhat relate. Recommendation: spend time with those less fortunate than you (helping them preferably), and you will freshly appreciate how fortunate and successful you truly are.
@BretWeinstein Analytical failure is moral failure. Wilful blindness is the failure to use your eyes when you have them. It is only true blindness that is morally neutral.
@patrickadownes If you think he’s not fit and healthy you’re extremely ignorant, and this personal attack is not only factually incorrect but classless and exposes your poor character.
@preta_6 Good insight - although probably if you pressed this guy he would eventually admit he thinks it's good to have men in women's sport. That's the real reason he doesn't care.
@Martyupnorth If you live in Fernie and mountain bike every day in the summer then a $10,000 bike is value. The diff bw that and an entry level $5k bike is enormous. If you’re just talking about scooting around on idle afternoons twice a year, then yeah, rent a dang bike.
