Something tells me you don’t know me. I have a chip on my shoulder about people being treated as subhuman. I have a chip on my shoulder about government policy that harms people in the name of protecting them.
- unethical_ban 4y agoI'll judge a book by its excerpts. You don't like government, period. That's fine. What I don't like is dressing up your disdain for the union of people (government) by concern-trolling people into issues with supply chains for critical resources. If you want to have a discussion about ethical transportation, let's do it. Let's talk about the harms of fossil fuels, the human toll of car culture and suburban sprawl, the ethics of destroying the planet for future generations for cheap goods now, the issues of exploited labor in energy markets (including lithium and cobalt battery production) and more. I agree exploited labor is bad. We should, as a society and via our government, do what is possible to not rely on exploited/slave labor for anything. Is your assertion that, if the price of moving away from provably catastrophic activity like consuming fossil fuels is that parts of the supply chain rely on slave labor in other countries, we should not use it in any way?
