LOL one more of these guys who think the world inside Usa's borders is the bigger part, and the outside part is negligible.
So you have some other secret high purity quartz mining facility (of the same quality, mind you, and that's important because none of the other known facilities on Earth have the same quality) outside of the USA that we all can use?
Snide comment aside, I love how you can be so reductionist to reduce this to "egotistical american bad" without understanding the global implications. You're honestly no smarter than the average American. Tell me you don't understand the process and nuances of creating semiconductors without telling me...
Gaat het in uw bolleke?
I know a turkish jewellery dealer, and his gold is the most pure that has ever existed in the whole world. I know for sure that it's true, because he has been saying so all the time!
Did you read the article? Or did you just see ‘North Carolina’ in the title and decide to complain about the United States?
