Reply to comment by citytiger in Sierra Leone Enacts Law to Reserve 30% Posts for Women in Power by Sidjoneya

Do you think it's impossible to find qualified women to fill 30% of place in power ? You could fill 50%, and even 100% of those with qualified women. Because no matter the gender, there will be qualified people to hire if you look for them with no bias. What's important here is to give more opportunites to women to work in key positions. To give them more representation and a say in how society should be shaped. Eventually, things will become balance in the future and no quota will be necessary.

They do. One thing that I realized over time is how important representation is. Try to notice how many things you avoid doing because you don't see someone like yourself doing it. At least for me, there are lots of them. Giving women and minorities a chance to participate in these activities will encourage younger generations to be more open about women in the workforce, and this is especially important in places where this is a taboo.

Yes, it is true that they will take the place of someone who may be more qualified, but it is also true that this is an investment towards the future of the other 50% of the population who don't get to have these roles just because "they are jobs for men".

Reply to comment by ELB2001 in Toyota to Convert Older Cars to Eco-Friendly Models to Curb Emissions by renome

All your information and reasoning is incorrect and outdated. RE is not actually rare. It’s just the name for that type of elements. Because of demand there is increasing amount of mining that will come online for those materials.

The batteries are not going to get thrown out. lots of recycling is already happening and a lot more will happen as more EV cars start aging out. For any recycling to be successful, the product that comes from recycling should have enough value to pay for the process of recycling and that is certainly true for EV batteries.

Maybe stop recycling your outdated talking points.
