Here we go. Another "rogue, loose cannon" reporter pretending to give a shit about worldly issues for the sake of making a buck. And nothing ever gets done about it. Its old.
The upside down part of this is that if the world industrializes this those people will be left out and have even less money. How do we fix this and not leave them out?
YOU ARE WRONG ! It is much cheaper and more effecient for a mining company to extract Cobalt by using bulldozers , excavators and huge trucks and employ 20 men to operate them . What you see in this video is thousands of men and boys being paid $4 per day which adds up to a bigger cost than using trucks and machinery. This is not cheap labor. The Congo government stipulates manual labor is used and they are paid $4 per day. $4 goes a long way in the Congo unlike America where $4 buys you nothing.
And this is just ok because it’s somewhere else in the world where they say it’s ok. No. I understand we can’t fix the whole world. But we can bomb shit countries
China is raping Brazil in the same way, buying up land, fencing it off for miles for oil and resources and kicking out small tribes that have lived in the forest on rivers for hundreds of yrs and forcing them to move into cities. Evil people, dog and cat eating is bad enough.
Yeah but this guy complaining does he own a phone now he's walking around with 100% of no Kobo in his life as an example and showing us how to exist without these things if not shut up😂
Shocking, inciteful report thats made me look into further information of the ATTROCITIES. The Apocalyptic lives they Endure needs to be Globally Addressed Now! China not content on being the Biggest Animal Abusers on the Planet, they seem to the Biggest Child Abusers aswell 😡 Slavery & Exploition of People & Children is NOT ACCEPTABLE 💔
Over the top great Video!!! Pushing the New green Deal is killing more people than ever! People need to wake up ! Get informed! Buying that EV is absolutely absurd ! Because of the amount of cobalt and other minerals needed to run them !! Disastrous!!!!! 😓
JOe, tells us what if the cobalt mine were extracted from the Govern or by a big company, what is gone happen with those thousand miners to get your survivor????? Where to put all of them, as just a few will work by a machining process?
This man is deceptive. He opens by talking about slavery. But nowhere does he say these workers were forced. The conditions don't look bad. He is disturbed by manual labor. The sounds of hammers and grunting. Truth is these people are making what is big money to them. Profiting off of their land rather than an outside corporation extracting it. Boohoo they're using hammers.
I seriously wonder if the government got a tight grip on these mines by law and a strong military if they could hold the world hostage until their demands are met because I know they're one of the worst countries affected by China's one sided silk road initiative loans
Wild watching this right after Musk’s podcast where he conveniently skipped mentioning cobalt. Is there any truth to his batteries not using cobalt? Seems like Elon has been involved with conflict minerals and metals his entire life.
This is definitely an important thing that should be talked about. However, I have a point to raise. If there is no mining of cobalt there, the people who do the mining would have no means of making a living.
This is insane "no hand mining here at all, not one" LITERAL OCEAN of people hand mining /facepalm idk what to do cause it's still happening and I'm typing this on a phone:(
I am very happy to see this stuff on YouTube so that the rest of the world can see what is happening in Congo 🇨🇩 , this is my hometown, the Chinese and our leaders had to displace us to different areas in the forest and build the smaller houses so that they can have access to the cobalt and promised to care about our issues which was a big false promises, but the phone, electric car and battery companies are getting richer without giving back to local people, this need to change for the sake of humanity.

Lifepo4 lithium ion batteries say there is no cobalt in their batteries

Thank you so much for this video Joe Rogan, very informational. Cole and I appreciated it for our project.
The upside down part of this is that if the world industrializes this those people will be left out and have even less money. How do we fix this and not leave them out?
Well thank god our governments are pushing us to complete renewable energy. All at the cost of lives

Fossil fuels don't sound so bad all of a sudden.

Half the morons spouting climate change nonsense can't even comprehend this stuff
Yeah but this guy complaining does he own a phone now he's walking around with 100% of no Kobo in his life as an example and showing us how to exist without these things if not shut up😂
Who else from the UK thought about this episode when doing the A Level Economics Paper 1 for Edexcel. If you know, you know😅
Another reason to be thankful you live in america
Greed greed greed

China has a huge stake in this .
The irony and hypocrisy in this world is astonishing
There trying to sit on a moral high ground having electric cars but higher ing child labor, unreal
If you think that the companies that use these materials don’t know about the conditions I think you are naive. Thanks for shining a light on this.
This is the reason mumar Gaddafi killed
And people still believe electric cars will save the planet.
JOe, tells us what if the cobalt mine were extracted from the Govern or by a big company, what is gone happen with those thousand miners to get your survivor????? Where to put all of them, as just a few will work by a machining process?

Conflict minerals…
“Environmentalism”
COBALT CAUSES CRAZY CANCERS
The only slavery that mattered happened over 200 years ago in the free-est country on the planet.
I seriously wonder if the government got a tight grip on these mines by law and a strong military if they could hold the world hostage until their demands are met because I know they're one of the worst countries affected by China's one sided silk road initiative loans
🙋🏻♀️ what is the solution????
He obviously hasn't been to any mines in Australia our miners earn well over $3000+ per week

Everyone needs a job to eat, leave them alone.
This is definitely an important thing that should be talked about. However, I have a point to raise. If there is no mining of cobalt there, the people who do the mining would have no means of making a living.

Tesla doesn’t use cobalt
Should tweet at elon And say “we should fix this get them everything they need”
