    Tell that to the child slaves mining resources for first world consumers. Unfortunately, the citizens of less developed countries’ opinions don’t matter if their government is corrupt.

        You’re right, so we might as well exploit those less fortunate than us because they were unlucky enough to be born where they were born.

            Okay, cool. I wasn’t saying you shouldn’t ever buy any batteries. I have an electric car in my driveway right now.

            The whole point of what I initially said was to recognize that, although one is definitely worse than the other, there are environmental costs to both ICE vehicles and EV vehicles and to reduce our carbon emissions we should focus more on being less car dependent in general.

            You’ve gone off about how you don’t care about other people or your downstream effects on them and I don’t really know why I’ve engaged with this pointless conversation.
