Also a great quote from the director of Parasite

The Korean director Bong Joon Ho, when asked about why Parasite had resonated so deeply, with so many across the world, replied "there is no borderline between countries now because we all live in the same country, it’s called capitalism." Parasite is a film that speaks to the class inequalities, societal structures, and violence that underpins capitalism. The same is felt by many, across our world. Capitalism is, in short, a global moral, political, and ecological global disaster. One that is shared across borders and nations.

Absolutely, Japan created a huge ecological disaster here. Fun fact about the whole thing is that this type of reactor was known to be unsafe even back in the 70s, and one of the scientists from GE actually quit in protest over it https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/fukushima-mark-nuclear-reactor-design-caused-ge-scientist/story?id=13141287

So, this isn't even a problem with a danger of using nuclear power, but rather one with capitalists cutting corners while chasing profits.

 

There's gonna be a world of hurt as China bans Gallium export. There's no easy replacement for Chinese supply because Gallium is a byproduct of producing aluminum.

Aluminum production requires lots and lots of electricity. US doesn't have the power generation capacity to ramp up production even if the US start to mine bauxite right now.
