    Correct. How do you propose I live in the modern world without a phone that uses cobalt?

    There is a phrase that describes this situation: “There is no ethical consumption under capitalism”

    There is nothing I can do while living in the modern world without benefitting from exploitation or encouraging evil, that’s the point of the The Good Place quote I included.

    I’m already depressed about it, I don’t really want to be berated for it when there’s nothing I can do about it. I already buy all my clothes second hand, fight my phone and laptop for basic privacy rights, vote for the least evil politician I can, I don’t own a car.
