African Children Are Mining Cobalt For Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Sony, VW.....

What would they be doing if they didn't? Dying penniless with nothing. It's unfortunate their world is like that but if they didn't have this they'd have nothing. Their world can't afford to educate everyone and feed everyone so the lowest have to do something.

Wow man.

You seem to care an awful lot about a situation you can do nothing about.

Actually you can and it's people like you that make it harder by saying you can't and writing it off as the way of the world, just so you can ease your conscience.

The very first step is to spread awareness. Let as many people as possible know about this. Once they do, the rest is history.

I look forward to seeing you on the news then.
Go solve the worlds problems.

People with "thats just how it is" attitude disgust me.

When the shoe is on the other foot, we'll see how changeable that mindset would be.

And the sad part is that the apathetic state of mind is contagious. (Kruha i igara jel...)

Would you rather see them in Kalashnikovs?
It is not just Africa. Most electronics are made in an oppressive communist country where the workers are forced into cancerous environment. Though most of their problem are because internal conflicts and their own dictator's, not foreign interventions. If there were bunch of strong countries they would repel foreign corporations ****ing over there.

It's not a one man effort. It's just sick how you simply dismiss something like this and laugh about just because it doesn't directly affect you.

It's easy for you because you're not in the same position. But mark my words, the U.S. is headed in that direction too. The middle class is already disappearing. Sooner or later, everyone except the top 1% will be in that position.

U.S is already there, rest of the world is already there. Approximately 16.000 people are more wealthy than the rest of the planet. Literally

1% -16.000 monstrously rich people <------> 99% - 7.399.529.200 people/at the moment I wrote this. World population number is fluctuating non-stop.

Just do the world a favour and go take a stroll in a mine field. How low can you get?

 

[Natsu Shazneel]

How low can you get?

Maybe if you unzip your pants we could find out.

Are those your religion's teachings?

I don't know? Make a thread about it.

No, there can't be an upper class without a middle class. Rich people get services by middle class people.

Tell that to people in Africa or North Korea.

 

[Waindo]

The current world economy is slowly and surely driving the middle class towards extinction and that's a fact.

 

[Narushima]

No, there can't be an upper class without a middle class. Rich people get services by middle class people.

The middle class is indeed rapidly vanishing in the west now. For the case of the US, this issue has been documented and discussed at book-length by such different folk as the libertarian Charles Murray and the leftist Robert Putnam. This is in part the reason for the popularity of both Trump and Sanders (as well as the growth of populism in their various forms in the west in general).

It's nice to spread awareness (to those to whom it's actually 'news' ), but apart from making 3-4 threads every day, do you do something about it? You are supposed to be a genius, after all.
