This is what’s happening in order to produce phones and electric vehicles. EVs, as you know, are what the US government is working furiously to “transition” us to instead of fossil fuels.
It’s way worse than you might’ve imagined, and this guest, Siddarth Kara, on Joe Rogan’s show explains. I know it’s nearly 15 min, but it’s a real eye opener, so if you can hang for that long, I highly recommend it.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. The amount of human slavery (dirt cheap wages) being used to source cobalt for electric cars and phones is staggering, and we are being sold that it's being extracted by heavy machinery. This is an expose – https://t.co/9yNXKjhndL

So when you hear the term “clean cobalt” – recognize it for what it is. It’s propaganda.
Apparently, Elon Musk, at least, is trying to eliminate cobalt from his EVs – a work in progress. But I can guarantee you that Apple doesn’t give a crap. And the Granholms and other WH morons CERTAINLY don’t give a crap.

I’m just sick and tired of our employees in the government telling us how to live our lives.
Jennifer Granholm was once governor here in Michigan. I see that she’s still the same hot mess on a nationwide scale as she was as she was here. Leftists are so clueless, it’s pathetic!
Ok I know it is just semantics but they are not electric vehicles they are Battery operated cars just like the $50 ones at walmart and just like those when the batterys crap out we throw them and the car away because batterys are expensive and do not last.
It’s not “just semantics” because in today’s world, the left plays all sorts of semantic games, and it is important for us, on the right, both to know what words mean and to consistently use them correctly.
You are also right about the batteries. I’ve heard a replacement battery for one of these gems costs around $15k, which is just a little less than what I spent this summer to buy three (yes THREE) used vehicles powered by good old internal combustion engines.
God help us all if they succeed in forcing this transition on us!
