I was tired and read your post wrong and I was on my phone wich makes the whole screen hard to see.
As I mentioned cobalt is used in every single electronic item in your house-the fruits of child slave labor. If you feel so guilty about child labor in Africa throw away your phone and your computer, TV, smoke detectors, microwave ovens, your ice car, motorcycle, boat. Anything painted blue or printed in blue in your house is from cobalt.
The amount of cobalt used in EV's is minuscule to the amount used in all the electronic goods and industry out there.
I'm not a virtue-signalling liberal who thinks I'm saving the planet by driving an EV. I'm an old-school classical liberal - what would be known as a conservative these days, like JFK - who takes everything in moderation, weighs up the plusses and minuses, and most definitely does not try to grand-stand on something that is not what it's been represented to be.
And the cobalt that is in the devices I use is sufficiently minimal that I am not party to child slavery. For example, the cobalt used in my iPhone is predominantly from recycled sources. The same cannot be said for your EV.
So, sorry sucker. Go stuff your virtue-signaling head up your well-reamed a$$.
