Um... okay. Fine by me.

I have no problem with anyone showing support for whatever pleases them. It's a free country. However, I reject the idea that someone else's cause needs to be my cause.

The point here is that the decrease in EV prices due to increased lithium production is a net negative, at least for those doing the slave labor.

But, folks buying their EVs can feel good that that their emissions have been eliminated... rather moved from tailpipe to a coal-burning power plant.

Why is anyone doing anything? Because, on some level, it's entertaining.

Yes, it's so worth child slavery to get a bit of lithium now and then. /s

Sodium ion batteries show some promise, but they are being over-hyped. As explained here, we are still many years away from them challenging or replacing lithium ion.

Well, thank goodness for that.

For you. Not for me.

It’s wonderful… until you realize how we got all that lithium.

In Nigeria's lithium boom, many mines are illegal and children do much of the work
Growing demand for the lithium used in batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage has created a new frontier for mining in Nigeria.

How dare the camp not be prepared for a once in a lifetime event that no one saw coming and, when it was realized, left only a few minutes to evacuate.

Only a fool believes that Trump and MAGA are aligned with Biblical Christianity… or believes that Democrats are aligned with Biblical Christianity. In fact, I prefer a complete separation of church and state.

Almost no one's mind was ever changed via social media debate. You go on ahead and get frustrated and rage post and tell people "how wrong you are!" Your righteous anger might be slaked by doing so, but it won't matter unless you are counseling actual candidates.

I voted for Kamala Harris, someone who was "not as bad" as Trump, but still a pissy choice.

There's nothing I can do about this right now as there is nothing you can do about this.

Any emotional exasperation is wasted right now. I prefer to not give a shit about things I can't change. That's sane.
