If only the regulators were the first to feel the impact of their stupidity....

More supply chain sabotage. What could be the endgame? Even dairies take care of their cows. They don’t intentionally destroy them. They milk us, why destroy us? Is it even conscious on their part?

Two parts to their end game, IMHO. First is reduction of world population down to about 500 million, and second is to create a two-tiered society of enormously wealthy elites and then the rest of us, all engaged in serving them to one degree or another.

The Environmental Protection Agency don’t realize they are helping the hydrogen fuel industry more than the EV units our electrical grid system is 100 years behind to support all the electrical junk they want to pimp the fools want.

Academics in action

But it looked good on paper Moe.

The pointy heads will be the last to know the impact.
They have already seen to that, ..and have their own gasoline generators, since they have seen what is coming.
The supply chain has already been affected and threatened, .. and still we do nothing.
Simply stated: Electricity lacks the sustainable power in order to surpass diesel usage, especially in colder climates.

Railroad engines is the big one. How much tonnage can a maglev train pull? Think of the power required to get a 100-car train up to speed.

When the trucks stop running — either from $10+ diesel prices or much stricter emissions standards — the shelves will empty-out everywhere. Many will die from lack of food products.

No CO2, no oxygen. That’s their goal. And to get rich while they kill the planet.

IF all the truckers did a 48 hour- 72 hour sit down strike, perhaps this country would come to it’s senses.

When the Covid crap started & “NON ESSENTIAL” businesses were being shut down-—some D.C.idiot shut down the plants manufacturing milk containers-—of all sizes.

COW get milked at least 2 times a day & sometimes 3 times a day. THAT doesn’t go on hiatus.

I live in rural N Nevada.

After 2 weeks of throwing their milk out on the ground-—2 small family dairies sold ALL OF THEIR MILKING COWS at local livestock auction......

The vet who works there every week cried while she signed the papers.

630 cows were sent to slaughter-— due to NO MILK CONTAINERS to put processed milk into.

2 multi-generation farm families were OUT OF BUSINESS.

I rode the Pony Express Trail in 2001 on horseback with other riders.

COAL trains out of Wyoming: EASTBOUND-— 3 engines + 120 cars——EVERY 30 minutes.

48 such trains every day 7 days a week. 40,320 rail cars.

That was just what was going thru Mitchel, Nebraska, where we were on a weekend break.

Actually if you have multiple drivers then those trucks can run 24 hours minus a few minutes to fill them up with fuel.

Right these Federale EPA pukes want to kill diesel. They all probably drive EVs and “work” from home. There is zero feed back from your peer workers when you sit on yer assz at home and never report to an office. Zero collegiality and zero mentoring by more reasonable senior workers at the EPA.

But the above applies to almost all Federal agencies in DC, and in the so-called DC region. These useless eaters are working from home, meaning doing jack sheeet. The biggest scam ever.

Also the EPA should have no such authority. The constitution does not give them that authority. Congress has delegated their authority to someone else(An unelected body) which is not constitutional. But throw in a corrupt court and here we are.

I suspect the “et al” you refer to are the Chinese. No doubt they have enough evidence of his crimes to convict him of treason in a US court. This allows them to manipulate Biden & Co. to so weaken this country that their west coast invasion will be a turkey shoot.
