    While all the wafer dies made come from this mine, it can be synthesized. This won’t end high end production, even if it were destroyed completely.

        That’s what’s extra stupid. Damned thing isn’t even US owned. It’s a private company from Belgium.

    Interesting headline to run considering the causalities this thing caused…

    Between this and Israel war, does anyone even give a fuck that people died?
