Don’t think of me as anti EV, I’m more ANTI child labor! Remember conflict or blood diamonds? Where’s the same concern for child mined cobalt? The Libs never discuss that one.... 🧐

Until the ICE cars are off the road. Then they will discuss it, to get the EVs off the road, and say "goodbye" to all forms of personal transportation, except for bicycles.

True that. But IMHO that's not related to an EV vs ICE argument, but a make-stuff-here argument. In other words, we could mine cobalt in Minnesota. The same could be said of anything else we buy. We'd probably be alarmed of how much stuff we buy is made with child labor or slave labor. A problem that could be easily remedied if the government would get out of the way and allowed stuff to be made here. That includes batteries for any product (including EV's, but that too should be a free market thing).

We shouldn't fall for the trap of having to pick a side based on an argument as the Dims create it. In other words, they create the EV vs ICE argument by trying to force EV's onto us. Instead of being pro ICE or anti-EV we should always be pro freedom and let people decide what they want to drive, and let the businesses produce what the people want.
