Only thing of kindness i kind of regretted was loaning a 50 for a friend. I was student back then and it was a big money at the time. That friend started to evade me and pretty soon it got clear they did not have any plan to pay to me.

I was angry at the time, but now later in life hearing what kind of people he spends his time with, im glad he kept his distance. Now i consider that fifty as a good investment.

Well he IS at olympic level in mental gymnastics.

Who does?

Hard to say. Current political view seem to be that EU wants to get rid of dependancy on china and great way to get free is to start mining our own.

There is pretty large deposits in Sweden, Finland and Norway so one effiecient, central refining plant could be churning virtually limitless amounts of materials, if only there would be enough funding to get the ball rolling. (Before anybody says i know Norway is not part of european union, but it is part of european economic area and part of EFTA) France already has a refining plant so the tech knowledge is already found inside the EU.

Didint you guys just find one of the biggest rare earth minerals deposit in the world?
