You do realize that "Africa" is a continent, not a country, right?  On second thought, maybe you don't.

Again, tired, it was late and I have getting it from multiple posters and on my phone.

The Republic of Congo knows they have a problem. In 2022 they started the first reforms to stop the practice of child mining but it is difficult to enforce. International co's such as Samsung are also under fire for buying the cobalt and they are putting pressure on the Congo to stop the practice.  China said they are putting pressure on Congo because the world is going after them.

The point is you use items every day made from cobalt from Congo but only bash the ev's.

As I've mentioned before, it's time for the red states to start passing "right to use energy" laws, or enshrining such language into state constitutional amendments.

Fight back!

Toyota offers no such range for 2025'2026.  Perhaps you should go back and reread that 2023 article that happened to be the first one that popped up in your Google search.  Oh, and those cars will use lithium-ion batteries.  Maybe you should get your facts straight before posting.  Because your failure to do so makes you come across as a complete fool.

Oh sue me for Toyota changing their timeline from 2 or 3 years ago. Here is the  latest from Toyota . 2026  6 new ev's, lithium 500 mile range, 20 or 30 minute fast charging depending on the model
2027/28 Solid State 750 mile range, 10 minute charging.

The fact is ev's are getting better every year, longer range, prices coming down and most companies other than Tesla are going to solid state eventually.

Hey, Joe - Trump isn't the one wearing diapers.

It doesn't matter when you have The Party's underground and above-ground election apparatus working for you...

... along with faithful Party apparatchiks like Hobbs of New Mexico and Whitmer of Michigan in control of those states...

Elections 2024 / Re: Biden’s tough task: Winning over Haley voters

I doubt Mr. Trump will get more than 5-10% of the "Haley voters", if that many.

I hope Bobby Jr. can haul in the lion's share of the rest of them, and leave ol' white joe in the lurch...

 We’ve finally found an issue that unites the country — Trump’s potential VP pick shooting her dog
By Social Links for Miranda Devine
Published April 28, 2024, 12:38 p.m. ET



We’ve finally found an issue that unites the country. Just about everyone is disgusted with Kristi Noem for boasting that she shot dead her dog, a 14-month-old puppy she said she “hated.”

If the South Dakota Governor thought any publicity was good publicity in her bid to be Trump’s vice presidential pick, she was sorely mistaken with this horrible disclosure.

The story comes from Noem’s upcoming memoir, “No Going Back,” in which she says she took her female German wirehaired pointer “Cricket” to a gravel pit on her farm and shot it dead for being “less than worthless,” according to The Guardian.
The dog’s crimes for which it needed to be executed? Cricket ruined a hunting trip by chasing birds and “having the time of her life,” and then on the way home, attacked a local family’s chickens.

Noem also boasted in the book that, after killing the dog, she took the family goat to the same gravel pit and shot it because it was “nasty and mean” and smelled “disgusting, musky, rancid.”

Sure, it’s a fact of life on farms and ranches that animals will have to be put down, but to do so in anger, as Noem apparently did, is appalling. The dog was young, and she had failed to train it properly or keep it under control.

For what it's worth I have a friend who's son and sister have Teslas.  They have had them for a little less than a year and both of them have had problems.  They are expensive and impress others who are impressed by cars.

I wouldn't drive one if it was given to me. Cost of insurance, batteries,  and lack of reliability -- just not interested, not to mention rainy season and dodging tropical storms and hurricanes.
