James Wood, an American actor who probably does not get much work nowadays, is a conservative who makes telling tweets about the absurdities of the woke Left. In one he comments on the vast child labour that is behind cobalt mining in the Congo, extremely hazardous to the children’s health. But that element is necessary for the batteries in the electric vehicles that the Greens and Leftists love. The moral inconsistencies are conveniently ignored by the progressives. For them, out of sight, out of mind.

Posted by American actor, James Woods “Then there is this little factoid that gets harder to ignore while skipping around town in your electric vehicle…”
“The unethical truth of net zero. Around 40,000 child slaves in Congo work in hazardous conditions in cobalt mines, with inadequate safety equipment and for very little money. The cobalt is used in many products - including electric car batteries.”
There are replies to this, like, well, what else could he children do. And the reply to that is, lead decent human lives.
