This is at a time when this sort of thing has made it harder for them to produce gun powder for Ukraine?

i don't wanna be the one to tell the slaves "hey guys i know forced labour sucks and all but we gotta have more ammo for this random war half-way across the globe so you'll just have to push through it"

same for things like EVs. i like things that use batteries a lot, but i'd really have a stronger guarantee that the materials to make it aren't sourced by slave labour or methods that harm the local ecosystem... i mean a large part of that problem is also that the US has fuck all for recycling laws, i don't think most lithium is actually recycled anyways. but that's a different topic
