RE:Simple answer to nickel demandCapitalism doesn't always seem smart at first glance. Like why buy ni,AL, and ree from your rivals/enemies Russia and China? Why?

On moral principles, yes, boycott everything from brutal autocracies, but don't confuse capitalism as a moral choice. In our democracies, capitalism must be monitored and regulated but it still beats a state run communist style economy with a one party one man autocracy.sustainability?

Otherwise, like a plague of locusts, we must spread throughout the universe.
