How about you make Jello out of the powdered cow bones and sell it as rhinoceros horn jello?

[Wimopy]

Again, fake rhino horn powder. None of the trouble, all of the effect (which is none, too, btw).

Still agreeing with that. Don't want to sound like an elf, but we are far from ready to be sieged by Humans. And rhinos are good allies.

[miauw62]

Yeah. Fake rhino horn powder is a great idea.
And i'm from Belgium... So yeah, i have no idea if people of Congo would hate me or love me, or go "meh".

The main problem with DRC is that they speak french. A native french speaker will almost never use another language.

I dunno either. At one side, during the existance of the Congolian Free state(which was at that time privately owned by Leopold II) the population dropped by about 15% to 50%, but during the actual Belgian Colonial regime things weren't that bad.

How much would holding a poll in Congo to who they like most cost?
If they vote wizards, we'll have to buy wizard suits tough.

Right now, they're quite likely to vote chinese. The chinese have been heavily investing in african countries af of late.

Is anyone here chinese?

[10ebbor10]

The Chinese have been investing in everyone a lot lately. I believe they own significant part of both European and American debts, and other such things.

Yes, why just theother day I was reading about how they were investing in greenland to get at its valuable rare-earth metals.

Smart idea, since they already own 80% of the current production.

Yes, since its so important for advanced technology, and the US would have a large supply right next door. The US could stand to be wiser about this.

The US has it's own mine they are reopening right now, and there are also mines in Australia coming up in the next years. Rare Earths are everywhere, most deposits just aren't viable.

Hasn't the price dropped, like, a lot recently? Feeling kinda sorry for all the poor sods that invested in that stuff...
Idea for financing: Invest in some resource that is only produced in a very few places, then interfere with production there to see prices soar.

Yeah, but it was to be expected. Rising with more than 400% over the past 2 years isn't normal.  I think they are 1/3 down towards normal levels.

Though, to be fair, it's an artificial pricedop, caused by a dumping of inventories due to a steep decline in demand, because most of the industries moved to China, which controls 90% of the production. There are still shortages, but compagnies just don't want to use Rare Earths anymore.(Not for those prices)

As for investing in stuff. WHy don't we just invest in things of which we know the price will soar, due to shortages. Examples are oil, water, phosphates, copper,...

[TopHat]

HEY, WAIT! if the USA has trillions of national debt, we could just borrow money from China once we've taken over DRC!!!!
We probably wouldn't get away with trillions, but billions would work fine.

[Wimopy]

Don't forget that we're working on getting a base amount of money. Investing in expensive stuff needs a lot of money. We can do that AFTER we manage to actually get settled.

Personally, I think weapons always work.
