"Oil major Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) is in talks with Tesla (TSLA.O), Ford Motor (F.N), Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) and other automakers to supply lithium, Bloomberg Law reported on Monday citing people familiar with the matter."
You're viewing a single thread.
same problem different industry. if its not drilling for oil and destroying the environment (as we know it) it's outsourcing labor and mining to third world countries to exploit their land, resources and workforce. destroy others ability to utilize their own land for their community resource production while pushing them further into poverty and "welfare". and killing anyone who tries to get in the way or is willing to work on systems that benefit their community by shielding it from neoliberal capitalist multinational corporations.
Remember that "We'll coup whoever we want" tweet?
Both things are bad but you can't just equate two wildly different problems or act like the scope of them is even remotely the same.
One is a group of people being exploited in the present day, the other is the near end of life as we know if on earth.
I'll try that as my defense at my murder trial. "But your honor, at least I didn't poison an entire town!"
OP is listing all those things together because they're all unconscionable actions that should never be done. It is in fact okay to condemn them all equally.
You didn't even read my comment.
I wouldn't defend either. I never said one was okay. Why would I use that defense when it's not even a defense.
But what I'm saying is if I have to buy one (which many people do), I'll support the lesser of two evils. And one is far lesser.
