Breaking rocks and breathing in the resulting dust can't be good for those kids. I know cobalt isn't radioactive (thought it was at first, but radioactive Cobalt-60 is a byproduct of nuclear fission reactions ... the stuff the kids are digging up isn't), but it can't be good to breathe that shit in ... no metal is good for the lungs.
It is sickening how human beings are exploited for fucking toys. I get laptops ... people tend to keep them out of landfills and use them for longer than a year, but this obsession people have with owning the latest phones and fucking ridiculous latest EVs while humans are used to do all of the dirty work at fucking bottom of the barrel wages makes me want to vomit.
those kids work more before they're teens than most teenagers will work in their lifetimes ... but hey... they got that new iphone to ride in daddy's tesla!

Once the book is released, Congress is going to want answers. You can bet the executives testifying will include Bill Gates and Elon Musk.
God help us.
Amen.
