Cobalt isn’t exactly cheap. Assuming this strip was first published in 2000, then it was selling for ~$16,000 per metric ton, which yields $48 million in inventory. That sort of highly useful metal should be something they could move in a hurry.
Today (March 2024) it’s selling for ~$28,000/metric ton.

What happened to the counter appliance in panel #3? Alex is too small to completely obscure it with her body.
Another visual “Trudeauism”, right?

Is cobalt worth money? Yes. But only if you find someone who wants to buy it, and have a way to deliver it to them.
