Is child labor slavery? Or do they get fair trade money. Probably not if it goes to China
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Is this a Joke? EV batteries use hundreds of times more than a Vape pin
Tic toc inspires youth to spy lie cheat and steal.China owns tictoc .Get it?
Should probably quit buying electric cars then also
Nothing about EVs,, the push to electric knowing most of these rare earths and heavy metals are in countries like the congo, cheaper labour (children) and easily bribable officials to get past those pesky Environmental protection laws, if they have them at all. Yes EVs are the way forward definately
I've been using the same 2 batteries for the past 3 years.
First world people protesting on third world people on their job to build battery for first world electric car. Just like the summit for environment where people flew in by private jet and luxury yacht setting laws for the average people to reduce their carbon footprint 😂😂😂😂😂
African is crimes
Its indirect influence of cigarette companies on the tiktok influencer to influence the people…no one will understand……many things nowadays are always someone intentions
While I'm watching this article on hitting my vape so hard right now!
Use aluminum foil a cigarette lighter and a straw. No batteries involved.
they use kids because they are tiny… 😢
Cobalt is a key material in our battery
But they are still using their phones with batteries made from the cobalt from those mines to spread this, lololol
People will try anything to get their 5 minutes
I had no idea…
Never understood vaping. Smoke cigarette . Or quit all together.
Also protest EV's then while you're at it.
