ICE and its head snowflake instantly melting when someone turns the temperature up.

Yes that's the next step. It's illegal to be out of job and poor. ICE will be deployed to execute order 66 as the emperor has commanded.

Concerning to think that these folks might just go join ICE now, and that this is how they grow their army of gestapo.

Tyson is preemptively closing the plant and others like it because they've been hiring illegal immigrant for over a decade and don't want to get too busted by ICE.
Change my mind. [https://x.com/TimcastNews/status/1993010902111854960?s=20](https://x.com/TimcastNews/status/1993010902111854960?s=20)

Imagine telling your grand kids about the time you joined ICE and handcuffed toddlers.

They'll invite ICE in thinking "those" immigrants will be taken, not them, and will be surprise pikachu when they all get swept up

And ICE raids, as well as fear of ICE raids. The town is ~85% hispanic

"Have you ever been in a place where you can just feel the pain and the suffering in the air"
Yes, I've been in towns where ICE is raiding hispanic neighborhoods. Boo hoo to these racists. You get what you deserve.

Those same 3200 people losing their jobs likely cheered on the ICE raids in LA, DC, Chicago, NO, etc. Oops.

Rosa gotta keep an eye behind her head for ICE

I appreciate you. Im currently moving boxes from her Dad's place to storage and I've already had gas station pizza.
If I can lock in on one point, you hit the nail dead center with a meteor.
It is beyond hard to care. Many times I don't. She voted for Trump while she was pregnant with our child and I felt hollow.
When the ICE raids started, she got very scared that her husband and father to her child could be targeted as an immigrant without a green card (it's a long ass process).
She just didnt consider the reality. She had been hyped up by pricks with microphones and rock humping backwood tractor twats to the point where all that mattered is Kamala is cringe.
She's far more moderate now, which I can engage with. I'm still here though, and those donut humping pig fuck rent-a-gestapo rats can try me.
I kept her "liberal tears" coffee mug from the Daily Wire though. The tree remembers what the axe forgets.
I also blocked Tim Pool from her YouTube but she doesn't know that yet. Can't say I miss the beanie wearing hairless fuck.

Hey r/Silverbugs
I've been stacking for years and watching the fundamentals closely, and holy crap – things are heating up faster than I expected in late 2025. We're seeing a perfect storm of supply constraints and exploding demand that's driving physical scarcity through the roof. Here's what's hitting all at once:
* **Refineries basically shutting down new intake**: Since October 2025, major US refineries have paused or completely stopped accepting scrap/junk silver due to insane lease rates spiking over 100% and massive backlogs (some 3-4 months out). Dealers can't move material, physical premiums are exploding, and it's creating a real freeze in secondary supply. This isn't rumor – it's all over industry reports and dealer announcements.
* **China tightening the screws on silver exports**: New rules from MOFCOM in late 2025 require state-trading qualifications for silver exports, making it harder for unqualified exporters to ship out. China's a huge producer and refiner, so this is effectively "locking down" a chunk of global supply at a time when the world needs more.
* **Industrial demand going parabolic**: Silver's industrial use (now >60% of total demand) is driven by green tech. Solar panels alone are gobbling up hundreds of millions of ounces annually, EVs use 25-50g per vehicle (way more than ICE cars), and governments worldwide are pouring trillions into renewables and electrification.
* **Known reserves are finite and depleting fast**: Global silver reserves are around 610k tonnes, but much of it's byproduct from other mining. At current rates, primary reserves in top producers are shrinking, and new discoveries are rare/expensive. We've been in structural deficits for years (Silver Institute projecting another big one in 2025), meaning demand is consistently outpacing new supply + recycling.
* **Demand growth wildly outpacing mine production**: Multi-year deficits have drawn down inventories hard. Industrial + investment pulling metal faster than mines can ramp up (supply is inelastic because \~70% is byproduct).
* **And now this bombshell – Samsung's silver-based solid-state battery**: Samsung has been advancing their all-solid-state battery tech that uses a silver-carbon (Ag-C) composite anode. Recent updates (pilot lines running, samples to automakers) point to game-changing performance: 600-mile EV range, 9-min fast charge, 20-year lifespan. If this scales (targeting premium EVs soon, mass production \~2027), it could add massive new silver demand – estimates range from grams per cell up to potentially 1kg per large battery pack in some projections. This tech could revolutionize EVs, wearables, and energy storage.
All this while physical delivery issues are popping up (spot over futures, airshipping bars to London, etc.). Prices have already had a wild ride this year, but the structural setup looks even tighter going forward.
What do you guys think? Anyone seeing crazy premiums locally? Stacking harder now, or waiting for a dip? DYOR obviously, but these fundamentals feel like they're screaming "scarcity ahead."
TL;DR: Refinery freeze + China export controls + green tech boom + finite reserves + Samsung silver battery breakthrough = potential rocket fuel for silver.
Thoughts? Let's discuss! 🚀🦍

It's a bit more complicated than that. I think the last estimate i saw, in order to produce enough batteries to replace all ICE vehicles with electric ones, you would need more lithium and cobalt than what is estimated accessible in the earth's crust. There is also the issue of life-span as many of these renewables currently lack any industrially viable technology to recycle them.
then there is the issue of procurement. Most of the world's cobalt is in the Democratic Republic of Congo where an estimated over 40,000 children are used to mine the Cobalt and workers are generally paid around $2 a day while working in hazardous toxic environments. Not to mention the wide-spread environmental pollution as a byproduct.

Disagree. Investment demand in platinum is rightly surging because it's crazy cheap compared to gold. Also the supply of platinum is always unstable because most comes from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Russia.

Platinum could go unobtanium at any point, as there are only 8m ounces a year mined and a lot of it gets consumed...particularly in hybrid gasoline powered cars which use a lot more platinum than traditional ICE vehicles.

Ich war in Frankfurt 1 mal und werde diese Stadt auf immer meiden. Dieser Erfahrungsbericht stammt von jemanden welcher defacto 2-3 Jahre in Berlin semi-gelebt hat. Rest in anderen Städten.
Anreise mit dem Zug bis zum Flughafen, Zwischenhalt im Hbf. Folgende Eindrücke:
Halt am Hbf:
- Ansage im Zug: bitte auf Gepäck aufpassen
- super viele düstere Gestalten sichtbar durch Fenster
- ca. 5 Obdachlose durchkämmen den Zug und fragen aggressiv nach Flaschen
- keine Polizei sichtbar, weit und breit
- es sind suuuper seltsame Menschen in dem ICE eingestiegen, alle im Suff und super laut
Weiterfahrt zum Flughafen:
- dieser Schrottflughafen hat Nachts einfach zu??? Erstmal 3 Stunden zu 2. auf einen Platz gesessen
- insgesamt 3 Ratten im Flughafen gespottet
- es war so feucht und roch unangenehm in allen Terminals

don't worry ICE is deporting brown people though amirite?!

On top of that Lexington can expect a visit from ICE soon after the reporter rattled off all the minority owned stores. 😭

And they’ll vote for him again because they’ll burn everything down to continue to see ICE beat and kidnap brown us citizens.

Yeah that's why they were always so expensive and hard to sell before Tesla. Because they were just so much simpler to build than ICE cars

Orange Jesus says climate change is a hoax and tariffs against our allies are good for our economy. Save your MAGA bullshit for you cult followers.11000 people and the plant runs primarily off immigrants.Maybe Trump should send ICE to middle America so they can learn that they don't do that work.
