Unfortunately, Some of Siddharth's point were not correct. EVs use only 10% of the world's batteries. The other 90% is used in things we all use every day. Your car, even though it takes Gasoline, has parts that were made using Cobalt. Your tires have Cobalt in them, your Airbags have Cobalt in them, the paint on your car has Cobalt in it. Everyone is complicit. We all use Cobalt, It's not just Electric Vehicles.

Nothing will be done. Marketing is just another form of propaganda, and these people have millions of data points on each and every one of us with algorithms that can predict our behavior down to the minute with 99+% accuracy. They know exactly when and how to push our buttons, and we lack the will to break free.

​@@NAY2GAS​It seems you misunderstood his point. What he said specifically, is that the projected increase in demand for electric vehicles is projected to drive growth in demand for cobalt in the coming decades. He also used the specific example that an EV battery uses 10 KG of refined cobalt, which is about 1000 times what a cell phone battery requires.

Cobalt is difficult to fix. Diamonds are not. A higher priority should be doing away with the silly societal norms that we do like paying a wildly falsely inflated price for a mineral that is not rare to show our significant other how much we love them by supporting an industry like we're seeing in this video. We should start there first. Not with cobalt because if we can't even shame our friends for buying a potential "blood diamond" then why tf would you think cobalt, a necessity, is going to change. It's not.

And all while acting morally superior for "doing their part" by driving a 100,000 dollar tesla...

Part of the problem is this: Big American companies, e.g. Apple, go to Chinese manufacturers and lay out rules for production, e.g. "no artisanal miners". Those Chinese manufacturers then go and do whatever they want, ignoring all the rules to save a buck. When Apple finds out, they say, "Hey, we said no artisanal miners!" Those managers of these Chinese manufacturing firms say, "What? You were SERIOUS about that??" At this point, even if Apple immediately starts changing plans to avoid using these corrupt manufacturers, it still takes them three years to change course, finding new manufacturers, due to being such a huge organization.

@@geralsetya4097 I'm glad to hear about these real-world examples of hypocrisy in action. It makes me hopeful that the charade will someday be exposed to everyone.

My school in Russia is named after Patrice Lumumba. We remember him. US KILLED HIM.

STOP LOOKING UP. AFRICA SHOULD LOOK WITHIN. Please lead the way. We need to look UP to Africa, you are the soul of the world in the future. Order in the world now is a BS. USA won't solve shit. The last 100 years are proof in the pudding. JRE is the past, not the future. Last white man standing.

yes,the dependence on shitty,unnecessary tech and peoples idiotic reliance on it (cell phones,im talking to you)is the core of the problem.........you really think a car needs 15 body modules,6 cameras, 4 ecms ,a tablet and 800 feet of wire? ANY SUCCESSFUL business will always be done to meet the highest profit margin with the lowest bottom line,full stop

They'll pass off the cost of anything down to the consumer and do nothing about these working conditions

But coal and nuckkklear are bad so we need to mine cobalt which is used in these batteries.. so it’s a good trade off. And the politicians that are promoting this are saving humanity, because if we stay on this track, the world will be destroyed in 4 years.. that’s how much time we have left.. 4 years omg! These politicians deserve immense amounts of credit because they are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. They love people, they love humanity, that’s why this is a great thing. Even my college professor says this is good. And also if you check fact-check there is no signs of slavery. We must put more trust into these corporations, and a lot of them are owned by great people who donate so much into helping humanity..

Do you see the video? Thats transparency. Do you think the corporations don't know? Do you really think that anyone will sacrifice social media to stop this? People couldn't care less.

There is no such thing as ethical mining. All miners are treated horribly over exploited and underpaid

Keep in mind too, this is just one example of industry that literally runs entirely off of human suffering. If people really knew the total cost of human suffering of our so-called "modern technological civilization"....and if people actually, in reality possessed empathy, we would mourn our ignorance, pray for forgiveness from our creator, and all go back to living in primitive village monasteries and embrace asceticism. But, in the aggregate of the human species, people would much rather keep their heads in the proverbial sand. The phrase "ignorance is bliss" cones to mind. I know some people will try to argue against this....but it's my absolute conviction that this is what's happening, and not a soul on earth could even attempt to convince me otherwise.

@@ancientsoul5608 I agree, our modern society is built on other's suffering, so that the better off societies can live their privileged lives.

@Emanuel Marchan Yeah...the type of people who run our world firmly believe it's better to reign as kings in a hell they control, than to serve and help one another in a co-created heaven where we cooperate and work together. It's an elitist system, especially once you start looking into the ancient beliefs of occultists. I mean just go skim through Morals & Dogma by Albert Pike and you'll find quote after quote of how "the profane" (his/their term for the average citizen, not mine) deserve to be misled into ignorance so they can be controlled and subjugated by "the elect". It's called the "bible of Freemasonry", and once you understand how powerful Freemasons and the occult theocracy are, you really start to understand the immense evil that's in control of our world.

i am watching this on a microwave

That is irony. Admittedly, we are all part of the problem.

Now that you are aware what steps are you prepared to take to hinder this? Are you going to stop buying cell phones, laptops, etc? If not then awareness means literally nothing.

@@mooreweasel is it really the problem of consumption or is it political?

@@89burni politics aren't going to interfere with things happening in other countries especially when a company isn't based in the United States. Addionally, consumerism drives the market, politicians/governments depend on consumerism to survive. So politics aren't going to solve this. It's up to the consumer to say hey Apple, telsa etc. We're not going to buy anymore of your products until something is done about this. Otherwise it won't change.

@@mooreweasel but every market has rules and those are set by politics.

@@mooreweasel would be totally fine to stop buying all said shit if there was none at the beginning

🔝Thanks for leaving a comment, Reach out directly for more insight right now 💰📊📊

Green industry? Apple is not a green industry. Tech companies are not green industries. If you're refering the electric cars, the miners were not enslaved by environmentalism. Even without EVs this has been a problem for over a decade. Electric vehicles are only getting better, there are already rechargeable lithium batteries that have no Cobalt in them.

@@onesolopolo4194 you should learn about how lithium is mined by slave labor in China

You should look up the fact that cobalt is used to make gasoline

This isn’t about “green industry” cobalt is also used for gasoline… batteries and phones are not apart of the “green industry” Did you even watch the video?

Did she also find out that gasoline cars require cobalt as well?

Welcome to left-wing fascism: Where freedom of speech is DESPISED.

@@tobene As I'm sure you are well aware, only microscopic particles of cobalt are used in *some* catalytic converters in cars. No cobalt is used in more than 99% of cars. Stop spreading misinformation.

Kudos for challenging the narrative and thinking for herself.

Yeah, the woke zealots (the same people who preach about global warming all day) don't care about children being hurt. They prove this everyday by advocating for groomers in schools to be allowed to prance in front of kids with barely any clothes on and read porn stories to them, so why would they care about some African child slaves when they don't care about the kids in their own towns?

Gah dam your so right thank you I realized it when i read your comment. We dont need any of these things to live we need food shelter and water not a dam luxury vehicle

the life we live here was built off exporting misery overseas so we can live comfortably

nah Im on desktop but still, we all suck

It can be helped

I'm watching it on a PC, no rechargeable batteries here. You presuming C-word.

I agree. I love the "let's get down to it" approach. But the stark reality is very unnerving. That's globalism in a nutshell..

What can we do as cosseted Americans to stop this terrible crime?

@@robertfish4052 not globalism. it's called capitalism. the rich would rather destroy lives and destroy the planet than lose profits.

It’s just the way the world works. Things will improve but not because of news stories covering the issue.

@@ezbayt8723 WTF U SOUND SILLY

Mainstream media is owned by corporations which obviously favor themselves. Fox "News" would never publish anything that makes their backers look bad. They highlight and promote companies which feed them money. Simple as that. If you pay a news media corporation enough money, they'll say whatever the bloody hell ya want. This isn't a refutable point, either; it's been demonstrated in thousands of instances. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

New York Times has written thoroughly about this.

Please don't tell me you only get your news from Joe Rogan. 🙁

@@nwwfmaniac529 … and getting it wrong.

Fits into the whole marketing scheme

Not so positive any more.

It is because 'artisanal' translates to something closer to 'homemade' 'self made' or 'independent' in french, and they speak French in the congo.

Why does 'artisanal' have to have a positive connotation to it when that has absolutely nothing to do with the meaning of the word? Something good, something bad... I have been to plenty of shit coffee shops that are self proclaimed 'coffee artisans' - doesn't mean it's good coffee. All artisanal means it's produced traditionally or in a non-mechanized way.

You might wanna look up what artisanal means. Spoiler alerts, it has nothing to do with art

So true. Same with 3rd world clothing sweat shops

Unfettered capitalism.

Oligarchy not capitalism.

Simple as that.

The bottom line $$$$$
