We’ve reached Peak Sand.

But, due to the angle of repose, the peak is not that high.

[glorgau]

There is this little thing called the Sahara Desert...

We’re approaching Peak Sand!

I’ve been seriously considering claiming a few hundred acres here in florida via mining rights for sand... as long as you do some minimal amount of related mining you can control it for decades at little cost..

I’m sick of all the bullshit, “we’re running out of everything” crap.

The earth is abundantly wealthy because God made it so.

The only cause for scarily is what the Delusional Lying Leftists want: totalitarian government. Totalitarian government screws everything up.

The problem isn’t imagined scarcity of this or that. The problem is the Delusional Lying Left. The Delusional Lying Left IS the problem.

We may have to resort to fracking rocks................

[Red Badger]

We must start hoarding sand.................

[Jim W N]

I think the Left has Totalitarian Brain Damage.

So, no evidence but we should be afraid, sounds kind of familiar.

[dangerdoc]

Women, minorities and cats hardest hit.

“We must close the sand gap!”

[DuncanWaring]

Redesignate the Great Sand Dunes National Park and White Sands National Monument as the Strategic Sand Reserve.

We must have new laws for brick mortar to make Big Cement use less sand in their mixes!........................

[Red Badger]

Check Hillary.

I’ve been telling her to pack sand up her ass for years.

Might be a lot up there by now.
