@Setok I can tell you why:

#Lithium-#Batteries are absurdly expensive by their sheer nature - despite the fact that they are peak #UnfairTrade - espechally in terms of #Cobalt.

They wpuld.be cheaper if they were #Methanol #FuelCells and even cheaper if the Economies of Scale would hit that similar.to #Gasoline and #Diesel...

@Flo_Rian @LunaDragofelis @SheDrivesMobility

Aber okay, wer einfach nur #EcoHipster ist ignoriert gern die Unnachhaltigkeit von #Batterie|n die inhärent massivste #Umweltzerstörung und #UnfairTrade die #Lithium und #Kobalt brauchen um überhaupt "#wettbewerbsfähig" zu sein.

Entsprechende Minen und Lagerstätten sind nicht in Deutschland, also ist es deutschen "Grünen" auch shiceegal...

@emiliaxenia Exactly....

Or as #Dieanstalt from @ZDF said: "We're the root of the problem through #UnfairTrade!

@DamienMarieAtHope yeah, #UnfairTrade was pretty muc the norm even back then...

@autonomysolidarity Also typischer #UnfairTrade...

@labbeduddel natürlich kann Honig für den Preis nur aus #UnfairTrade sein...

How about you STFU and realize that the exploitation and actions by the global north are the root cause.
If you really believe what you said and think Africa should 'bootstrap itself' amidst #UnfairTrade, #Neocolonialism and #LateStageCapitalism as well as the #CrimateCrisis it's inhabitants statistically couldn't contribute to in any meaningful manner, then you are sp utterly deranged that even racists won't accept you as "useful idiot" among them.

Chinese Audio Cable Conundrum:

I’m about to work on another feature film in Mar-Apr.

i’ve been slowly building my remote sound bag, buying American made, high end audio cables a couple of a time, because they are expensive.
(I’m not doing sound on this film)

Most of my recent US cable orders are on backorder, because even though they are made in USA, many US suppliers still buy some of their raw materials from China.

That is posing a huge problem.

American companies can’t get supplies from China, so they can’t keep up with orders. I’m waiting months to get a hand full of cables.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Chinese Ebay and Amazon sellers are able to exploit the supply shortage, by selling their crappy knockoff cables, at American prices.

It’s interesting how Americans can’t buy cables, yet Chinese have no problem selling pure shit on Ebay and Amazon.

It’s even more amazing how the US International Trade Commission does nothing to stop Chinese knockoffs.

#USA, #Global #Migrants are coming. #ClimateChange, #DrugWars, #Greed, #UnfairTrade, #WealthConcentration make many places unlivable. #Canada seen as a big empty space. @CanadianPM @cafreeland @ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley @POTUS @VP @ipcc @EUCouncil @350 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/feb/23/us-climate-crisis-housing-migration-natural-disasters
