Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This whole thing is so silly. It costs hundreds of millions and something like 18 years to build a rare earth mine. What company would be willing to risk that investment without any sort of meaningful security arrangement?
Not to nitpick, or make you defend yourself, but I would be interested to see info linked to this developmental timeline.
Most mines are like 3-5 years to develop, and that includes permitting etc.
The number was something I heard on this interview. They seemed to have relevant knowledge. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/27/nx-s1-5308085/rare-earth-minerals-expert-discusses-u-s-ukraine-negotiations-on-ukraines-resources
