Tasers and combat avionics systems need cobalt, too, but never seem to come up as often.

Gotta play the blame game. Its our fault they exploit foreign children because we don't use the pay-rise they didn't give us, to buy ethically produced goods they don't offer, so that there is enough money to pay the slaves and quench their unquenchable greed.

If we paid them twice as much for their products, that kid wouldn't see a penny more. They'd pocket the difference for themselves because the free market doesn't fix shit.

All cars should be taken off the road.

Tell me you've only lived in cities without telling me you've only lived in cities.

The closest city is 15 miles away from me. I do drive, though I've actually commuted by bike a few dozen times (thank goodness for ebikes!)

All cars should be taken off the road, and furthermore, everyone should live in dense housing in the city. I wish I didn't live in the middle of nowhere, it's extremely inefficient and a terrible use of resources.
