And shoes made in VietNam, clothes made in Bangladesh, the children, blah, blah. I'd not bee too holy'er than thou. Maybe we should just shut down all these exploitive countries, blockade them, then, we can pay to feed, clothe, and educate them, turn them into Woke little idiots. With your money, not mine.
There is nasty stuff in the world, there is also good stuff, and it takes all kinds of stuff to make the world go round. Long ago I had a relative worked for Dupont in S. Korea. They had *children* working in their plant. The children got a stipend, food, shelter, and education in return for an 8 hour workday. There was a waiting list, *nobody* quit the gig, and it was hard work. It was worse here in the United States not that long ago. Sitting in your nice warm house with your nice white or even blue collar job complaing about conditions in Congo, may make you feel virtuous, but for many of the people working in that crap it's far better than the alternatives. When those people manage to get educated and outgrow horribly corrupt governments, and become more prosperous, these scenarios will lessen. This will not happen if you pull the rug out from what little prosperity they are currently able to eek out.
If you feel that strongly send them your paycheck, grow your own cotton, and raise your own sheep. Loom your own fabric, make your own clothes and shoes. Turn off your computer, and stop driving.
The only way to resolve the mining issue is with technology improvements. Technology will also resolve the need for excessive use of these so-called rare-earths, but these techs are still a few years out.
