Good on Rush for covering this.
I’m sure the MSM will have this story as a headliner “soon”.... /s
Lefties don’t care. As little g as it’s not mined in America, they could care less. NIMBY’s are mostly leftists.
If your car is blue in color, it probably used cobalt.
Maybe even as much as my Prius battery?
Hybrid and electric vehicles are built using slave labor? Whodathunkit?!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Child Miners Aged 4 Living a Hell on Earth so YOU Can Drive an Electric Car: Awful Human Cost...
I don’t approve of using young children or even minors for that matter, to do this sort of thing. If this were South Africa in the old days, there’d be sanctions out the kazoo.
Now that it’s African on African crimes, I guess we’re powerless to stop any of it. (B.S.)
I’ve driven a hybrid since March of 2006. It’s a little Mercury Mariner SUV. Just got back from a 1,000 plus mile trip, and averaged 30.05 MPH on the trip. On some sections I was getting 34+ MPH.
This vehicle was chosen over a Mountaineer. We had one already, and were lucky to get between 15-17 mpg with it.
I wanted a small utility vehicle that wouldn’t burn so much gas. This filled the bill.
You don’t have to be a leftist to wish to purchase less gas.
I know Rush and others love to rib Leftists about this sort of thing, and I think they’re vulnerable due to the issues of hybrids or full electric vehicles and the trade-offs that are inherent. There are issues if you’re doing this solely to rescue the environment.
This is the most fun vehicle I’ve owned and I’d recommend it to anyone, if they were still made.
I purchased the seven year or 70,000 mile maintenance package. I’ve not paid for any service other than the regular scheduled service visits in the 11.5 years I’ve owned the vehicle. For the first seven years, those didn’t cost me anything either.
I’m not getting rid of my vehicle, or refusing to buy another because crimes are being committed. Put an end to the crimes folks.
The idea that electric cars are somehow better for the environment is more junk science. The electricity that fuels the cars is produced by plants that burn fossil fuels and the more electricity needed for peak hours the less efficient and more polluting plants are used. And of course the batteries use minerals that are mined by children and slaves in Africa (yes that’s right, research it - slavery was abolished in USA but still exists in Africa and elsewhere). The people who buy electric cars to save the environment are as deluded as private plane flying Al Gore.
All batteries use graphite in their anodes. So is Rush saying that we should drop cell phones, computers, watches, and all other electronics as well?
Electric car, what’s that?
Oh, you mean a COAL burning car.
Good grief. We went thru the same thing over sneakers.
Yes, abusive child labor exists in this world. When rooted out behind the stonewalling of those who immediately benefit, it is soon eradicated by the supply chain refusing to be knowingly complicit.
Now that it has been identified in industry X, it will be ended. That’s a good thing.
At least these kids aren’t working in Chinese sweat shops making Air Jordan tennis shoes!
