Better late than never, Terry
What’s a little slavery among friends? We must not let Osama Obama’s beachfront mansion be damaged by rising sea levels.
How much money does Harvard’s Chan School of Public Health receive from the CCP? It’s well known the China has major designs on African resources. Notice this article is from NPR, which immediately increases the probability that it is propaganda.
I have been hearing about this. The Daily Mail had a piece with shocking photos of the children digging for cobalt.
Some dude from the Kennedy School of Gubbermint published a book yesterday that speaks to this. I placed an order w/amazon for it.
Terry Gross, you have allowed small irresponsible men and women to rule over our country. Now China has taken over.
“Artisanal miners”? What’s next “Free Range Child Sodiers”?
Why is cobalt so expensive if miners are paid so poorly?
I’m glad articles like this one are becoming more frequent.
First World consumers should know the true story of Cobalt mining. It will be difficult to make any substantial changes, but not impossible.
If China was given some monetary incentive to modernize and humanize this process, that would be a great start, but “Red” China is not known to be very interested in the dignity or civil rights of individuals.
If American President Biden had a sucessful lobotomy, and began demanding China change their mining techniques, or they would receive less of our oil, that might inspire some changes. But that kind of Ballsy Dipomacy is not expected, at least not from Uncle Joe.
It’s okay if black people are slaves as long as libtards feel good
I showed all of this to my idiot BIL and his commie government school teacher wife. It registered not one single iota. I mean pissing into the wind. They’ve recently traded their electric BMW for an electric Volvo. She opines how much better it would be if everyone did as they did.
I just stopped talking to them. My wife gets the family news and passes it on to me.
President Retard says if you don’t dig in the dirt for cobalt you ain’t black
bkmk
For the totalitarian globalist psychopaths, this is a feature, not a bug.
Does not matter who has to suffer according to ‘liberals’ as long as the intent to do nice things is made. Also the liberals will not have to have this yucky mining in their neighborhood.
Lighten up....the western world had always taken advantage of African slavery. /s
“We had to destroy the environment to save the environment.”
You heard it here first.
You’ll hear it here again.
And again, and again, and again.
