Won't get any better either.

Technology is making lots of things better, and will continue to.

Can't we do both?

No one except Red Joe Biden.

Trump kissed Putin's ass in Helsinki, and you are just fine with that. You are as treasonous as the treasonous fat senile old orange clown is.

Lithium Nevada says it will start mining at Thacker Pass in 2022, initially producing about 30,000 metric tons of lithium carbonate. It will begin production on its second phase in 2025, doubling that number. Officials say it will provide 25% of the world's lithium and will have a mine life of at least 46 years.

You already elected a "president" who's owned by China. What more do you want? Put your masks back on and shut the fuck up, peon.

He's only "owned by China" in the heads of right wingers. Anyone who spends any amount of time actually looking into these "claims" will see it's complete and utter bullshit
