Interesting that this outrage has only started appearing now when there are moves to electrify transport, and was somehow never a problem for all previous generations of electronic processes - which have relied at least as heavily on cobalt.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoWhat irks me about outrage culture is many of these pro workers types of people think that we can somehow have an ethical society but still maintain. So the push for anything moral and affordable means someone is gonna get exploited. If those people can't be exploited costs will go up. If costs go up the product can only be bought by rich people. Then the cycle begins again. I wish people would just get a reality check that life is filled with people who are exploited. That's been our history for millennium. Some new idea is not going to change it. The faster people accept this the quicker they can work to get to a point where they can try to end the cycle...until they realize they're themselves are just another cog in the impossible to control machine.
