I kind of want to die writing a review of this from my cellphone 😭 Slavery is alive and brutal in the Congo where cobalt miners are exploited to death every day just so we can have electronics. I learned that many Chinese companies/businessman own and are responsible for a lot of the mines in the Congo. I guess that makes sense since we source electronics from China. children never see a school room, barely get one small meal a day, and are regularly killed in mining accidents or by the goons running the operations who didn't like something they did. how can we live like this.
