Ironic that the Vietnam war hippies called US troops baby killers. The same hippies and their disciples are now obsessed with killing babies in the womb...

File this under: are you fu%ing Joking???
So file this under the simple rule of: "do not needless antagonize your enemy"
This is Moscow cold war bullshit... Stuff the Soviets did... WOW just WOW...
Things you may have not seen online today.
This is such an abject manifestation of pure, metaphysical evil it's difficult to fathom the scene is even possible. It's like watching a child sacrifice presided over by slavering demons on live television.
Pray for this poor little girl.
Based. telling the Brit to go back to her own country and complain there.
KGB... I mean Stasi... I mean DOJ going full Amerika...
Great Analogy of elite v Us

War on food
Dutch farmers protest government's decision to cut chicken flocks by 30% for "nitrogen savings"
The War on Meat continues...
The Netherlands, the world's second-largest agricultural exporter, is one of the top greenhouse gas emitters in Europe -- especially of nitrogen -- with much of this blamed on cattle-produced manure and fertiliser.
Farmers say they are targeted while big business and industry slide, with many vowing to resist any plans to scale down or close farms.
"It's not normal, what's being done to the farmers," 74-year old protester Jan Poorter told AFP. ""You can't just close farms that are hundreds of years old. You just can't!"
Some of the signs from the Dutch protest are pretty spot on. Where is the public support? People too distracted by media's putin-rhetoric
"You can't just close farms that are hundreds of years old. You just can't!"
Building a new shredder
Working and grinding but preparing as if nothing comes tomorrow.
Keeping multiple thoughts in the head is not cognative dissonance. It is plan A, B and C.
I have a copycat problem over here. There are these 2 guys who basically copy everything I do. Except they do it badly. However they are chewing at my sales.
I saw the other day that they copied my big plastic granulator (kinda) and posted it for sale at a hundred bucks less than mine.
Except that their design takes a long time to build. Mine uses laser cut parts, self jigging and I can built 1 or 10 in the same amount of time. Their design also uses a angled blade that is going to be a real bitch to align. Mine uses a series of blades. 9 moving and 2 fixed blades. So they basically are selling something with a low margin.
They have not figured out that the costing for something is not just the materials. It is the work, promotion of the product, rent, salaries, profit etc. So they are running around selling my 500 dollar shredder based on open source design for 400 bucks. They are also dishonest as they show a photo of a unit in stainless steel but sell a mild steel unit.
So it is time to innovate and crush them once again. Cause I got a top tier social media game and they got 100 followers on Faceborg.
So I was looking at my blueprints for the cheap 500 dollar shredder, and I realized that if I only change 4 files, make additional 15 blades and spacers and delete 30 fixed blades, I got this pictured above. Able to shred something that is 6x9 inches.
Upgraded new product, better margin.
It will not replace my granulator however. Rather it will eliminate the extra processing of the big bottles that do not fit in the granulator without cutting them down.
Shred in the dual shaft machine. Get big chunks. Wash. Strain. Dry. Granulate. Cuts out a huge amount of work.
I also need to design a plastic washing machine. Wednesday we went to mold a batch of plastic that was dirty. It did not feed in the machine. Simply too dirty. I thought something was wrong with the molder, but the good stuff fed just fine.
So we have wasted a couple days cutting up big sacks of bottles, washing them in soapy water, and drying them before granulating. Not exactly the best use of labor.
I also have come up with a new strategy for getting plastic. I am putting up a large tarp banner offering to pay 20 pesos per kilo for clean washed plastic. I am paying the junk shops 28 peso per kilo now for dirty plastic. The junk shop is buying it on the street for 20 a kilo. So I cut out the middleman, and buy it already washed. This in addition to buying from the farther away shops should increase my raw material supply.
I have been stuck at half ton of production for the last week, due to lack of processed and shredded plastic. Hopefully I can get things moving better.
These first few tons are the learning process to figure out how to do production.

Welcome to the age of consequences
If you understand these systems, you have a chance of becoming prepared. A chance of becoming resilient. You have a chance of understanding what is about to happen.
You may not be interested in economic collapse, but the collapse is interested in you.
Everyone has a vote in this. Not to vote is to vote.
We are in the midst of a cascading failure.
Cascading failures are easy. Cascading success is hard.
They just will not stop hurting us
The censorship regime is getting quite bad.
Faceborg gave a fake 'error' and prevented me from re-posting a Biden speech. Biden was sayin another pandemic coming and he needs money.
So here it is for you the pervert saying him and his goons gonna make another pandemic. Notice how joyful he is?
Also can you remember any other time all of a sudden we got these hand flapper sign language people superimposed on the screen? It is 2022, everyone has closed captioning. Last time I can recall this, vaguely was Carter era and replays of clips from Carter speeches.
FB has really cut my advertising reach also. It is getting damn near useless. I am searching for other ways to reach buyers locally now. Before y'all jump in with what works for you in the USA, that simply does not work here. Craigslist is dead, ebay is useless, and mybenta is a shadow of the former Sulit site it was.

Starvation averted for another day
Got a little bit of work come in yesterday. Couple hundred bucks to pay the bills.
Was talking with a formerly successful businessman here yesterday. Just a couple years ago, he had the tiger by the tail. Work crew was more than a hundred, grain mill fabrication jobs all over. He was looking at upgrading his shop to a big 3kw fiber laser for metal cutting to go with his big CNC plasma table not long ago.
Duterte allowed the foreign rice imports and it has literally killed the local rice industry. Now people are importing entire mills from china for the dwindling rice production. All the small mills dead as the big mills were more efficient at using electricity and labor. Now those are dying.
So he is barely able to cover the rent of his shop space and a few employees now. Just keeping his guys busy doing make-work, restoring a couple of their big trucks to sell off.
I met him when he just started his shop years ago. Couple guys, some MIG welders, a 4 foot shears, and 8 foot press brake (the old flywheel driven type) His advantage was that he had everything in Autocad then, when everyone else was using pencil and paper. He is also wickedly good with a science calculator to compute all the angles and such for making sheet metal that is then rolled into metal ducting for the big rice blowers that move it around a mill.
Racking my brain for work projects to do for one of my guys over the next couple weeks. I either will have to pay him to stay home, fire him or find some make work. I can not really easily replace him, and paying him to stay home, seems wasteful, so I am thinking about putting him to work doing some house work. Since the house needs some re-painting. Getting a 5 gallon bucket of paint, bunch of cheap rollers and letting him have at it.
We hopefully will be done with the plastic lumber order soon, so once that is out of the way, aside from this new order, it is pretty dead.
I still have the wood gasifier project to do, but my new project involves travel to a remote island and I can not instruct or supervise my guy to build that, hence the make busy work. Paying projects first before speculative jobs.

USA Shortages, and comparison here
Southern Prepper going thru a laundry list of USA shortages.
Comparing the reports to this side of the ocean. Lidocaine locally is 18 bucks for 50 ampule. Plenty of stock, but zero in the USA.
Antibiotics are plenty. Tylenol/Parecetimol was scarce for awhile. I found some Walgreens 500 count aspirin that someone imported at a lot cheaper than the local tylenol prices. (local made not the real USA stuff)
I still stocked up on the antibiotics, got them in the fridge, along with several other meds. Just in case.
Car parts hard to get, but apparently easier to get than in the USA. Had to resort to a Made in Japan Mazda AC compressor for the car instead of the Cheap China.
I took the train downtown for a errand yesterday. The first time I took the train since before covid. 28 months or so. The train was mostly empty both ways. They shut down the mass transit at 9pm now.
Unable to easily get a bus ride back to the mall where I parked the car. I had to commute cause my destination had no parking. Downtown looked like ghost town, or rather 2004 Asian economic flu time.
Squatter camp on the pedestrian overpass, lots of new buildings vacant, and needing paint cause of the pollution. The mall was full, but only people buying snacks and such. Popeyes chicken has been "coming soon" for at least 6 months. Not that I like Popeyes cause the service is just as bad here as it is in the USA and there are no red beans and rice here.
It was fathers day so you would have expected everything to be busy, but no...
No rolling blackouts in the last few months. Weather is rainy season, and it is supposed to be dry season. Construction of buildings has seemed to stop in my area. Several houses started now, projects stopped.
I have zero new orders come in, and inquiries also have dried up.
I posted some ads to build fema gasifiers today. One inquiry.
