    How come Africa, just don't cut the middle man out, sell products by ton, cobalt by the ton on world market goes for about 70t. DRC supply's three fourths of the world's cobalt, they are in control, not the US, UK, Germany, France, Bolivia, UN. Make more profit for the people, the government insure's health and safety for all adult workers, make a profit, build and get the children an education. Build your dream!

      It's called ingratitude, Steve. Maybe try the life of a Malian miner for a while.

      @@oldishandwoke-ish1181 if I had to go down one of those mines, as soon as I went into the hole and I'd throw up! I'm big time claustrophobic.
