Ha ha I live in a part of the country where hundreds of thousands of acres of was strip mined for coal leaving the ground worthless even after reclaiming. can't build on the soft ground for 40 years or your house will sink into the ground. Ruined wells for good. Longwall mining under  homes -house drops 3 feet on one end-that is were they remove the coal pillars and the ground above drops down 3-5 feet.

I will assume you are from Kentucky.  I grew up in a neighboring coal state.

Again, as long as other countries are subsidizing their industries if we do not our companies will be at a huge disadvantage.

I could not disagree more.  Government needs to stay the hell out instead of doing its usual failure at picking winners and losers.

The ag subsidies do not benefit only the  wealthy. Ag subsidies keep  food prices stable (not looking at inflation)
Without ag subsidies if one year there was a bumper crop of say corn, the  next year farmers would not plant that crop because of the low price leading to a shortage the third  year. One year Milk would be $5 the next year 25 cents. Food would be a roller coaster ride.

I am more interested in the number of people who are harmed by ag subsidies.

The Intel Plant in Columbus Ohio will be 10-14k jobs when done paying on average $135k per year. Almpost all subsidized under the chips act.

How did those Solyndra subsidies turn out?  And when did Intel become so broke that they needed the government to build a plant for them?  Intel can afford their own plant.  And any plant requiring subsidies from the government isn't really viable to begin with.  Check back in five years and we'll see if that plant still has 10-14k jobs paying $135k.  I will bet you dollars to donuts that they will not.  In fact, I would be surprised if that plant is even open five years from now.

What a relief.  As long as it is Chile and Bolivia getting hit with the environmental impact, everything must be OK.  But I digress.  Let's assume for a moment that your way is economically superior.  Then why can't you do it without subsidies?  Why do you force working people to pay for things (at the point of a gun) that only benefit the wealthy?

Don't poke the bear, Bobby.

Bobby isn't the one doing the poking here.

Lithium is not produced in third world countries. Australia and Chile produce 76% of the world daily needs and the rest is from Argentina, Bolivia, China and Canada.
The new SS batteries use a very small amount of lithium.
