Birthday, Tech and Info
While we are watching a complete re-alignment of the planet, GlobalSouth.co has its 1-year-old birthday in the month of August. No, I do not know the exact day because I’d been writing already before the site went live. It’s been a year of hoping for a boring day, yet mainly heart-stopping excitement.

This is Gonzalo’s legitimate Twitter account, or now X account.

This is what's happened to me over the past three months.

Here comes China
The West needs $20 billion and decades to develop a supply chain for processing gallium and germanium — far more than the trade value of the two elements. Even then, achieving costs comparable to China’s will prove challenging. Read full article →
