:Snort!:
Yeah.... riiight.
An easy choice.
Have no fear.
Once Libs have finished tearing down all of Western civilization, your children and mine will get to experience these things in an effort to scrap by.
Mark my words....
“Do you guys really believe 100% of this without further corroboration?”
Amazing how one will believe whatever they want based on their biases ...
“What were conditions in the mines like before electric cars”
What are the conditions in the major mines now?
Cobalt from German Kobalt, from Middle High German kobolt, variant of kobold, goblin, so named because its toxic ores were treacherous to mine.
"Democratic" Republic of the Congo?
Yeah, I do.
Next time I see one of those morons in their electric car guess what I’m telling them ,LOL
Then you probably ignore this photo of one of the major mines in the DRC ...
“Next time I see one of those morons in their electric car guess what Im telling them ,LOL”
That you have been sucked in by a click-bait article?
Reality is like sunlight to a vampire, with liberals.
“Reality is like sunlight to a vampire, with liberals.”
So, your total expertise in this subject is reading the above headline?
“This article is really telling greenies and libs willing to have their EV playtoys at the expense of children world wide. “
LOL! One click-bait article and you are now an expert!
I don't suppose you know what a real mine in DRC looks like so I will show you one.
” Proper disposal of them can be a YUUUGE environmental problem. “
Actually, just like the battery in your car, they have a value in the recycled materials.
One good looking mine does not a decent country make.
But do feeeel free to continue your ongoing campaign to paint the rest of the world, anywhere but America, in your favorite shade of Potemkin pink....
“One click-bait article and you are now an expert!
Not really, I was looking the number in the article that says 40,000 children work the mines. You give us a picture of a normal looking mine and claim it is what produces the Cobalt. Why should we believe you?
Why should we believe some anonymous internet poster such as you that says Cobalt mining is good, clean mining?
This child being abused in a cobalt mine is why Apple is trying to fix the mining business
