The important thing is that we are seeing mines and manufacturing re-open. Bauxite - aluminum - hasn't been mined in the U.S. for some time. That is going back on line in several states. We have rare earth mines starting up in Missouri. The capacity of the cabal to threaten our ability to function has been severely hampered. We are still a ways away from being self-sufficient, fully - but even now, if a full embargo were declared, we have in place the infrastructure to ration and scramble the expansion of new capacity.
