    Poor Greta. Life without petroleum and petroleum based products.
    One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks.
    “What’s this?” she asked.
    “Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.
    “What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
    “The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.
    Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.
    “Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
    “Where’s the water?” asked Greta.
    “Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it.”
    “Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.
    “Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?”
    There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .
    “What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.
    "Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”
    “How so, raw?” inquired Greta.
    “Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.
    “But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.
    “Tilda died this morning,” the godmother explained. “Bacterial pneumonia.”
    “What?!” interjected Greta. “No one dies of bacterial pneumonia! We have penicillin.”
    “Not anymore,” explained godmother “The production of penicillin requires chemical extraction using isobutyl acetate, which, if you know your organic chemistry, is petroleum-based. Lots of people are dying, which is problematic because there’s not any easy way of disposing of the bodies since backhoes need hydraulic oil and crematoriums can’t really burn many bodies using as fuel Swedish fences and furniture, which are rapidly disappearing - being used on the black market for roasting eggs and staying warm.”
    This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fibre boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.
    Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.

    i hate this commie pc of crap....

    and his handlers, obumba, valerie & susan... let's give money to billion dollar corporations that don't need it.

    Remember when "COVID" was killing populations by the millions..... Daily? So many dying that dead were being hauled off in refrigerated containers and graves dug with heavy equipment. All businesses forced to shut down other than the big chain stores.
    Research the accumulation of wealth made during COVID. Multi billion $ companies profited hugely during the deadly pandemic and look at them now. They own everything we need. Especially our farmlands.
    Once again all by design

    Well there is little more too it than some are admitting.

    The USDA's new plant zone map shifts cities like Lansing and Omaha five degrees warmer and could change how you garden, including when and what you grow​

    I used to be a zone 8b that is colder zone 9a. In about the middle of Pace, FL I use to be just within zone 8b. Now the USDA hardiness growth zone shows me just inside of Zone 9a.

    Watch Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with a scientist on climate changed! They are over 90% sure that they changes in weather over the years is brought on by the sun and to a lesser degree, slight changes in the obits of planets, moon, etc. CO2 has almost no effect on climate, yet the “experts” are trying to destroy the economies of the world by cutting C02

    Not to mention 70 years of atomic. Nuclear testing that spews crap into the ionosphere.

    • Ford is increasing production of its Bronco SUV and Ranger pickup, while cutting production of its all-electric F-150 Lightning, the automaker said Friday.
    • The announced cut to Lightning production comes a month after CNBC and other media outlets reported Ford would slash planned production of the pickup roughly in half this year.
    • The automaker will be reducing production of the Lightning at its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Michigan to one production shift from two, impacting approximately 1,400 employees.

    So don't trade my old diesels in for a battery powered car?
    At the Stihl dealer this week. Need a bar and chain for my 070. Last time it was sold here was 1968, you know, the good old days when shit was not disposable. Things were made to last. Something broke, you get parts and fix it. Anyway, I asked them how the sales are on the electric powered crap. They said great!
    I asked what do you do when the battery goes dead?
    Answer, recharge it.
    My reply, what do you do while the battery is recharging?
    Answer, wait? Purchase a 2nd battery?
    I smirked as i put this on the counter and shook my head. With shit costing 2x-2.5x what it did 4 years ago I'm supposed to sit and wait for a battery to charge? All while paying more for the battery powered toy to begin with? Then a 2nd battery for close to 1|2 of what the toy costs?
    "Man, what are you, high on cocaine or something?"
    Only plastic is pull cord handle. 070
