Biden and child labor????

[reason10]

Yes, we know Unelected Joe is a pedophile. But we didn't know he would be in support of child labor.

Biden turns to country with documented child labor issues for green energy mineral supplies: 'It's egregious'

Quote

 

The Biden administration opened the door to financing mining projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia to bolster the global green energy supply chain as it pushes ahead with its climate agenda, despite the DRC's documented issues with child laborers being used in such mines. 

However, independent investigations conducted in recent years by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and Amnesty International have documented how many cobalt mines located in the DRC employ child laborers. The Biden administration also released a report in October showing that child labor continues to take place in the mines.

"Many children we spoke to told us that they were frequently ill. Inhaling cobalt dust can cause hard metal lung disease – a potentially fatal condition," a 2016 Amnesty International report stated. "Skin contact with cobalt can cause dermatitis – a chronic rash. Yet the children and other miners have neither masks nor gloves to protect them."

"The children told us that they endured long hours – up to 12 hours a day – working at the mines hauling back-breaking loads of between 20 and 40kg for US$1-2 per day," it continued. "Many had nothing to eat all day. Fourteen-year-old Paul, who began mining aged 12 and worked underground, told us he would often: ‘spend 24 hours down in the tunnels. I arrived in the morning and would leave the following morning.’"

Don't EVER suggest there is anything compassionate about liberalism.

This isn't about conservatism. This is about YOUR side of the aisle's junk science and how it is creating SLAVES.

Mainstream conservatives have no problem with enforcing fair labor practices. The state of Florida has plenty of unions and they are free to sell their services for whatever dues people will be willing to pay. Conservatives have no problem with that.

THIS practice of CHILDREN mining COBALT just so Unelected Joe can brag about forcing electric cars on the country is despicable. Only a TRAITOR and a monster would approve of it.

Your side of the aisle has ALWAYS been comfortable with slavery, bigotry and child exploitation.
