Africa has been dealing with this bullshit since the invention of consumer tech. Zimbabwe's crippling sanctions to get cheap gold, Zambia's copper fields, and the lithium, Coltan and cobalt up Eastern Congo. Should be Wakanda but Americans won't pay a fair market price for the metals and minerals their tech utopia demands.
