No, that's just Helios in a flying chariot. He is just so hot it literally burns your eyes to look at him.

The hot topic is cobalt mining in the Congo--not lithium, so maybe you got confused.

Cobalt is NOT needed for car batteries, but Tesla, for instance, uses only 3% of cobalt in its batteries that have cobalt. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are cobalt free and make up more than half of the batteries it sold recently. Moreover, CATL, a supplier for Tesla, and the leading EV battery producer at over 30% market share said its new LFP batteries going into production at the end of this year to early next year will have a range of over 435 miles and be able to add 250 miles of range in 10 minutes.

Can't speak for all manufactures, but Tesla buys the bulk of its lithium (95%) from lithium mines directly and not on the open market. It is also building a lithium refining factory in the US. We have all the lithium we need in the US, so mining lithium isn't a long term issue more than any other products. Unfortunately, we can't police the entire world and people aren't going to stop buying bananas, shoes, smart phones or clothes because of child labor or slavery in the production of these products, especially when knowing exactly what you could and couldn't buy would be virtually impossible for the average consumer.



Here is a list of known goods provided by the department of labor and a few headlines and quotes about child labor in the car industry (all cars):

https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/fil...oodsExcel.xlsx

Vauxhall and BMW among car firms linked to child labour over glittery mica paint

SPECIAL REPORT-Child workers found throughout Hyundai-Kia supply chain in Alabama

Quote:
The new research, by Sheffield Hallam University’s Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice and NomoGaia, a nongovernmental organization, details Xinjiang’s role in the production of metals critical to auto manufacturing, including aluminum, steel, and copper, as well as the region’s manufacturing of batteries, tires, and other car parts.

This June, the United States Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act took effect, establishing a presumption that goods made in whole or in part in Xinjiang, or produced by entities in China linked to forced labor, are not eligible to be imported into the United States. Car makers with suppliers in Xinjiang risk having their vehicles or parts seized at the border by US customs officials. The European Union in September 2022 proposed a law that would prohibit the import of products made with forced labor.
Major car companies like Ford, Tesla, and Toyota are at 'high risk' of sourcing parts made by Chinese forced labor, a report finds: 'It's an industry-wide problem'

Quote:
The 78-page report says "every major car brand" — including the likes of Ford, GM, Tesla, and Toyota — is at "high risk" of sourcing parts from companies linked to these human rights abuses.

"There was no part of the car we researched that was untainted by Uyghur forced labor," the team's lead researcher Laura Murphy told The New York Times. "It's an industry-wide problem."

Outer space is science fiction. Aliens don't exist, as much as mainstream media wants to make people believe they do. What people think are aliens, are actually fallen angels and demons (the Nephilim). They built the pyramids and ancient structures before the worldwide flood. Read the Book of Enoch. The structures are all that remain of ancient societies that were far more advanced than ours is today. The history courses taught in school are laughably incorrect, which is obviously intentional. A stupid society is a society that is hopelessly enslaved, though the individuals believe they are free.
Do some research on secret societies, like Freemansons, Shriners, Illuminati, Order of the Phoenix, 322 Skull and Bones, the Jesuit Order, the Knights of Malta, the Knights of Columbus, Order of the Dragon, Templars, Zionists, Kabbalists, and The Brotherhood, to name a few. All of these secret societies worship The Fallen and their Nephilim offspring, who they communicate with through satanic rituals.

You just think drones are burning down homes because forest fires are just too basic to be the cause of things burning, and you are ignorant to about fire science, but I'm getting the feeling you are probably ignorant about a lot of science. That's okay. We can explain things to you if you need clarification.

As you can see from the video above, the man could have made stone hedge himself.



"Outer space is science fiction." I'm trying to wrap my head around what that even means to you because it makes zero sense to anyone who understands the definition of outer space.

There are legends that the people of Easter Island would walk the Moai statues into position. That sounds even more like a wild story than people forming and painstakingly moving these stones...until you see people walk these statues:



You clearly have some type of schizotypal personality disorder with this type of thinking. You have clearly been lost down some deep hole of conspiracy theories where you no longer have the ability to reason, judge or perceive your world for how it is. This is like the flat earthers convinced the world is flat thinking they have their eyes that are wide open and everyone else are idiots and ignorant, but clearly, they have lost themselves in aspects of evidence bias, conspiracy theories and misinformation, so much so, that they block credible information and clear facts because it doesn't fit their world view. There are people that can help you man. Counselors. Programs. Mental healthcare through your medical insurance. 1-800 numbers. Hope you seek out some help.

By the way, how do you have an invisible gap? By definition doesn't a gap have to be visible?

I suppose an invisible gap is microscopic. You know it's there, but it's not visible. Technically it would need to be smaller than the wavelength of visible light?
