Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If the company fails, the United States would need to buy key products from China and Russia.

A key producer of chemicals, lithium, and magnesium critical to United States defense efforts has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a dispute with the state of Utah.

The filing comes after Utah's Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands said it was seeking to terminate the company's leases to operate in the state. Utah has blamed the company U.S. Magnesium for pollution, based on an academic review.

"The study from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences came from a period of winter air pollution in 2017 and showed that the plume from the U.S. Magnesium refinery along the Great Salt Lake produced 'emissions of chlorine and bromine, known as halogenated compounds, [and] were significant contributors to the persistent winter brown clouds,'" Fox 13 reported.
