In this episode, we're diving into the claim that "The world runs on Africa." By exploring the instrumental minerals that go into majority of the things we can't live without, we discover the unfortunate issues regarding the exploitation of mining sites. How do big companies like Apple, Intel, and Tesla contribute to the issues that are happening on mining grounds? We also look a little at gold smuggling that happens in African countries and why its so easy for foreign markets to come and take resources in our homes.
