If you are one of the few people who read the joke about trying to find a good Icelandic restaurant, then you read my response to the 'what the heck' posting before I modified it soon after its creation.
((Did that paragraph make any sense to anyone? I posted a reply to DToT which included a joke about a restaurant but also had some information backward (iceland vs greenland) so I removed the joke and made the required modifications then posted it.)
I got confused between Iceland and Greenland in "version one."
Greenland has lots of ice and Iceland is larger.
Iceland does not have any rare-earth metal ore.
Jamaica on the other hand, has lots of baxuite, the ore to make aluminum. China is, or was, involved with that industry in Jamaica.
Control all the raw materials and you get to set the prices / availability.
