Interesting article. I do wonder if the breakdown of the very interconnected global supply chain will revert to a more local traditional, independent supply chain. It would take time to build up of course, by which time things may well have moved on, but a more localised economy, left to the free market would in general be a good thing. |

Wokeness at its finest.www.aier.org/article/nutzenschmerz/David Schmidtz’s 2006 book, The Elements of Justice, presents a remarkably insightful example of institutionalized Nutzenschmertz: I pulled over. The cop pulled in behind. Walked to my window, peered inside, asked for my license and registration. “New in town?” Yes, I said. Got in five minutes ago. “Know what you did wrong?” “Sorry. There was no stop sign or stop light. The cars on the cross street were stopped, so I kept going.” The cop shook his head. “In this town, sir, we distribute according to desert. Therefore, when motorists meet at an intersection, they stop to compare destinations and ascertain which of them is more worthy of having the right of way. If you attend our high school track meet tomorrow night, you’ll see it’s the same thing. Instead of awarding gold medals for running the fastest, we award them for giving the greatest effort. Anyway, that’s why the other cars honked, because you didn’t stop to compare destinations.” The cop paused, stared, silently. “I’m sorry, Officer,” I said at last. “I know you must be joking, but I’m afraid I don’t get it.” “Justice isn’t a joke, sir. I was going to let you off with a warning. Until you said that.”

For anyone who is interested. Jesse Cook will be performing on an extended tour covering Canada and the Western and Central US winter-spring 2022. Don't know who all will be accompanying him, but the video below is one example. Well known flamenco guitarist. I've been waiting for him to come to a location near me. And St. Louis is on the venue first part of April. The tour web site is: tour.jessecook.com/ I think he left the tour name as 2020 because that was when it was originally scheduled for. There are other videos of his performances on youtube. |

#NotimetoDie. You can't afford to die Mr Bond. Funerals just went up 500% last week. |

I can't imagine having to cut up some big 30" trees with a battery powered chainsaw. Often work like that comes up.
I think that the biggest polluter dealing with chainsaws is the tank of bar oil spraying off with each tank of gas. And electric saws still use bar oil I assume?

I suspect there is a carve out for professionals especially fire fighters. This is aimed at the serfs. |

I'm still cutting up a very large oak on my property myself. And I am glad I have a beefy stihl 036, can't imagine getting it done with an electric saw.
Glad glad glad I don't live in California.
