(that is the worst case, where auto makers just bury the cells in the ground. thankfully, that's not actually the case. they reuse battery packs and are scaling up techniques to recover the rare metals from them. you haven't heard much about this at scale because few packs have actually hit their end of life.)

I don't think the poster meant that, so I wanted to call it out to encourage us techies to see that we are part of a larger culture and context.
We depend on a hell of a lot of people, and a lot of infrastructure that's not just for us, but keeps the entire city going.
