EV production supports slavery.

Yikes scary stuff. But pat yourself on the back if you have an EV.

Amazing this shit still goes on in the world.

Profits before people.

Cobalt is still used for lots of things powered by fossil fuels as well. It's not like EVs created this problem. The key ingredient is laissez faire capitalism. Rule by autocrats. Profit uber alles.

In these business schools, the standard MBA textbook is Günter Wöhe’s “Introduction to BWL” now in its 26th edition. The textbook sold more than 1.5 million times. It postulates that profit-maximisation is the all-defining goal of a company.

Having a retail background and working in corporate offices, I don't need to watch the video to tell you that this is included in ANYTHING you buy manufactured from other countries. Including the USA.

Resources for products have been scattered to all over the globe since the induction of the Industrial Revolution in the USA.

Diamonds, "precious" metals, other "precious" stones, herbs, spices, nuts, coffee, chocolate..............and now manufactured parts, services, food stuffs, medicines, and pretty much ALL products found in clothing and shoe stores!!

They ALL include child labor, so-called "slave" labor, and other such so-called "uncivilized" labor practices.
But these countries are NOT the USA. They have different stanadards, different aspects and definitions of what a job AND a wage are.
Most people in these other countries aren't mass hypnotized, brainwashed, and plauged with working for the money so they can get heinously overpriced, useless garbage to clutter up their homes. They work for what they need to live and thats about it. If they want something other than that, they work extra for it, save for it, or barter for it..............like Americans do.

Just because their working conditions aren't the same as ours and their employment system isn't the same as ours don't mean THEY consider it slave labor. It's just a different world than what YOU know. That doesn't mean it's "slavery" by any means.
