Tesla, Apple, Google, Microsoft and Dell rely on cobalt mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where over 40,000 children — some as young as seven — work in dangerous, often deadly conditions.
Despite sitting on trillions of dollars in mineral wealth, the DRC remains one of the world’s poorest nations, exploited by Big Tech and burdened by the lasting scars of colonialism."

@AutisticInnovator it hits different when you are directly affected by it. I think the is great as it lowers the slave labor used in production (Chinese labor camps for and ) while all the negative impact of the trade war is affecting only some country far far away (from me) that has benefitted from for hundreds of years ().

I hope my country will use this opportunity to double down on the supply chain law to ban any slave labor anywhere in supply

Today In Labor History April 8, 1864: The 13th amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, banning chattel slavery. However, it permitted a continuation of wage slavery and the forced labor of convicts without pay. And on this date in 1911, 128 convict miners, mostly African-Americans jailed for minor offenses, were killed by a massive explosion at the Banner coalmine near Birmingham, Alabama. While the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, which occurred just two weeks earlier, elicited massive public attention and support for the plight of immigrant women working in sweatshop conditions, the Banner explosion garnered almost no public sympathy, probably due to racism and the fact that they were prisoners.

@theguardian_us_environment Prison slave labor isn't "essential", it's a crime and a human rights violation.

Paying people $10 a day for risking their health and possibly even life is the wrong response to the climate crisis and the unnatural disasters caused by it.

Where are the top managers of Big Oil? *They* should be in California in those fire camps. It's their fire.

Today in Labor History December 23, 1617: America's first penal colony was established in Virginia, creating a “safe, humane home” [sic] for the nascent country's future class war prisoners. Between 1615 and 1699, English courts sent 2,300 convicts to toil in the American colonies, mostly in Maryland and Virginia. Between 1700 and 1775, they sent 52,200 convicts, more than 20,000 of to Virginia. Some were as young as nine and ten. They were cheaper than white indentured slaves and black chattel slaves. Many worked on tobacco plantations.

ITS A SPECIAL DAY!! 23 december 2024 will mark ....*drumroll*

.... 111 years of the "federal" reserve

Yes, congress actually convened on Christmas Eve Eve 111 years ago to give the power of the money supply to a cartel of private banks that would go on to help fund #ww1, hitler's #germany, actual overt fascism by germany that included known #slaveLabor camps, alongside the #bankOfEngland through its governor, sir #montaguNorman, connected to the father of #georgeBush senior, herbert walker bush, through a merger with the firm Brown Brothers Harrimen.

yay for central banking and the imperial war machine /s

Nike have been sent packing in Hackescher Market, Berlin!! Due to people constantly smashing their massive shiny windows Nike have finally got the message that they are not wanted here and are moving somewhere less conspicuous hopefully out of the city completely.

They represent the worst of capitalist greed and consumerism and I'm proud they've been run out of my neighborhood.

This is the only city where I've seen McDonald's shut down cause no one went there 😂

Starbucks take note... We're coming for you next

One bonus of a #GOP majority in executive & legislative branches will be #megadonors getting rewarded with #taxbreaks and exclusive federal contracts that will stimulate the #PrivatePrison economy

#DJT can finally build Chinese-style #slavelabor camps to reward #incarceration inc industry donors and begin ousting weak law abiding embedded #CivilService workers cluttering federal agencies. #MAGA
#Project2025 will make everything so much easier!

@Flipboard @TexasObserver

If they are NOT being paid and are NOT allowed to refuse to work, are they really prisoners?
Or are they slaves?

Who is benefiting from this slave labor? Where does the money go?
