The administration argues that relying on imported metals could reduce demand for American-made materials, leaving the US with less domestic production and fewer critical supplies in the event of a national emergency.

And because brass instruments are made mostly from copper and zinc, they have been swept into the same net as fire extinguishers, floor safes, electrical cables, welding-machine parts, and tanker trailers.

Sorry there's just not enough time in our 24-hour news cycle to cover the pedophile ring holding the richest country in the world hostage. We have to run these stories about Fauci. Then we have to cover every stupid fucking thing Donald Trump says but NOT the fact that he rapes kids
