    Eh, if they fail, that just means they don’t get to poison the earth and groundwater while stealing resources from the ground, sounds like a win-win to me.

      No, they still will. And we will still buy the lithium to run our phones and laptops.

      It’s just we will export the damage to 3rd world countries instead.

        I believe change needs to start locally, and if we rise up and challenge capital interests, maybe other countries can too.

          That’s a noble sentiment, truly.

          So, let’s consider taking a stand by eliminating our use of products like lithium-ion batteries, laptops, electric cars, and all the myriad of devices that make our lives more convenient and connected. If we really want to inspire change, locally and globally, we should start by examining our own consumption habits, right?

          I trust you’ll lead the way by taking the first steps to eliminate your reliance on these technologies. It’s a tall order, but change has to start somewhere, doesn’t it?
