Tungsten is a vital strategic metal. It's been in the news lately because the US has been depleting its reserves by firing a shitload of it at Iran. All that ordnance—conservatively, tens of billions of dollars worth—has to be restocked. Not just with tungsten, but with several other rare minerals. China controls over 80% of world tungsten production. But you can still go on Amazon and buy tungsten tape for your pickleball paddle for ten bucks. #tungsten #batshitcapitalism #conflictmetals
