Topic: GREEN is MEAN: Electric cars ... built on the backs of child slave labor (Read 73 times)

As Mie Hama said to Sean Connery in You Only Live Twice, "This is business."

you can't prevent those third world savages, from exploiting the labour of their own children, its the third world people who hate schools and only want religious indoctrination for their children.

secondly

if developed nations and their consumers would stop buying the child labour trash from third world, they will become even poorer, even more zergish and even more destructive, they won't just disappear they will then search for different reasons to find ways to enslave first world dwellers, not even taking care what they do, biggest racists nowadays sit in third world.

Driving an electric vehicle around town is a source of pride for many climate fanatics who’ve convinced themselves that this “green” choice in transportation makes them the second coming of some kind of climate “christ.” But little do many of these virtue signalers realize that flaunting around in a Tesla or Prius actually signals that you’re completely oblivious to the human rights abuses that had to occur so you could pretend to “save the planet.”

Every electric vehicle out there contains a high-capacity battery inside it that more than likely contains cobalt, a somewhat rare-earth mineral that typically comes from one of two countries: Australia or the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). And in reality, most cobalt comes from the DRC, where it’s dirt cheap thanks to child slave labor.

As it turns out, it’s super affordable for car manufacturers to pay underage children $9 per day “on good days,” according to one child cobalt laborer in the DRC, than to pay the higher wages that Australian cobalt workers typically receive. Thus, most “green” vehicles are built on the backs of these child laborers in the DRC, many of which are seriously injured or killed while working in these dangerous conditions.

Smartphone owners are equally as guilty of having their lives made more convenient and “tech-savvy” by cheap slave labor far from America’s shores. Anything that runs on a lithium-ion battery, which is most electronics these days, probably came from metals that were strip-mined by little kids in Africa.
