Leotardo DiCaprio starred in Blood Diamonds, a movie that raised awareness about slave laborers who mined diamonds in Sierra Leone.
These “conflict diamonds” were boycotted by Hollywood elites… until no one was looking anymore.
Now we’ve learned that child labor is used to mine cobalt, an essential element used to make electric car batteries.
Will Leotardo make a sequel to Blood Diamond?
Blood Drive has a certain ring to it.
Give me a few million and I’ll pretend to be concerned over the environment while I create a carbon footprint as big as Michael Moore’s ass, just like Leo.
I’m not seeing it.

Cynical thought, but I wonder if Musk was ever invested in cobalt futures.
Musk is only invested in gubbermint grants and loans.
I was just reading an article yesterday about his sucking at the teat, and in particular how his cousins have run SolarCity into the ground, never making a profit even with government money, to the point that Musk forced its purchase by Tesla although Tesla stockholders were livid about what they saw as a big reduction in their stock’s value.
Shorting Tesla would be a smart move, although it may take a couple of years to realize your gains. Although last I looked you couldn’t short it because so many people already have.
I DRIVE LOUD MUSCLE CARS ONLY!! I’M BURNING THE GAS THESE MAN-BUNERS ARE SAVING!!!!
WHENEVER I PASS A PRIUS, TESLA, OR OTHER LIBERAL “THINK TANK”, I GIVE THE DRIVER THE THANK YOU FINGER!
Don’t you live in L.A. Benito? You must use that motion a lot! Every other car is a Tesla – and the others are Priuses!
LCD, YEP, I HAVE A FINGER ON A STICK, AND A BLOWUP DOLL FOR THE HOV!!
Benito.
Those Tesla’s do 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds. Pisses me off.
When we in the West force a child-labor operation to shut down, the children go back to their former jobs, turning tricks for Japanese, European, and American pervert tourists.
Tell everyone who opposed the Vietnam War, that when pirates captured Vietnamese boat people, they stole all the goods, killed all the men, raped all the women, and sold all the children into prostitution in Bangkok and Phuket. Their descendants are still turning tricks for pervert sex tourism.
BB, SI, TYPICAL LIBERALS TRYING TO TEACH THE WORLD THAT BIGGER ISN’T BETTER!!
BB, they can go faster than that. On the days of the week ending in ‘Y’ I pass them in trusty Dodge diesel and put the pedal to the metal. Lots and lots of black smoke. Then I flip a tailgate sign that says ‘Clueless, crazy, queer and commie, stuck on stupid they vote Obammie.’ I’m just kidding. They get so upset over nuthin. About once a year one of them seems to run off the road. I dunno why…
These Fiskars aren’t Teslas, but they were in a parking lot in NJ which hurricane Sandy flooded, resulting in all of them shorting out and catching fire:

LeaTard Needs to Understand, that Those Countries Rely on Their Entire Families To SURVIVE and They Have to Work !!!
It Was Just Fine, Until You To Appease Your Guilt Told Them they Were Doing it Wrong !
Where would the little chaps be working if not at the Cobalt mine?
And you can bet that de Crapio will be in the vanguard of resistance against this injustice! A guy who makes his living pretending “having feelings” and doing stuff, cannot suffer the fact that some may be less fortunate than he, and will do all in his considerable power to remedy that.
Bet on it.
