Without this kind of progress described (meaning reutilising, refining or reprocessing lithium), mining might become even more brutal to keep costs down for investors and corporate buyers, but remain ever more expensive for consumers.
Marginally lower cost over 500 possible cycles under ideal conditions… this does not take into account other pollutants it may cause or the human element. Still, very positive as a total, as this is a resource a way hitherto untapped (unless you count risky social media innovatives who almost burn up their homes making lithium batteries from vapes and whatnot).
There are varying statistics about this.
Will not be able to support my answer with links or studies at this point, but some of the issues that are common factors combined are:
Mental health issues, can be exacerbated by PTSD.
Exclusion from society, feeling isolated, being an outlier.
Low economic status, unemployed or working low status, low wage jobs.
Being or perceived as being maltreated by authorities.
In general, minorities (not immigrants per se) are usually overrepresented in jailing or convictions regardless of crime rate. While immigrants try to stay low and not attract negative attention due to their vulnerable status, they can end up overrepresented in media due to reactions to their crimes. It’s easier to attribute mental health issues to someone representative of the majority acting out in a grossly criminal way, than it is to someone who is way more traumatized thanks to the country they’re seeking refuge in.
Yeah, deport those trying to get educated and contribute to society. That’s the way to make your country great again.
mumbles under breath about nurses who finished their education and workplace years just to be deported upon being qualified (equivalent of) registered nurses in Sweden
I absolutely love this daily game as a zen thing to do to softly warm up and wake up before getting out of bed. This, Raddle, Oneuppuzzle and Decipher are great to start the day with.
