It's shocking to discover that there are hundreds of petroleum-derived products. I heard on a podcast that there are even medications made from certain petroleum byproducts. Then there's the agricultural problem: industrial fertilizers are also produced from petroleum derivatives. Then there's the direct problem of fuel shortages: they drive up prices and limit the distribution of manufactured goods. While Trump is making billions of dollars with his dump and pump policies, the world would inevitably collapse if the blockade continues. And cynically, I think that's the real objective: to eliminate the vast majority of the "non-productive" population. As for Argentina, during its crises in the '80s and '90s, they were eating cats. So it doesn't surprise me at all that they're eating donkeys now. Having one of the largest cattle herds in the world, it's not that there isn't beef, it's that it's no longer available. The same thing is happening in my country.
We do not need industrial fertilizers since we have poop and urine but the governments forbids farmers to use is. They have to pay to get rid of it and next are forced to buy. The same the world governments does with seeds. All manipulated seeds. Farmers using those seeds from their harvest are fined. In short a very small group earns ows and ears. While the idiots keep paying.
Aspirine and vaseline are made from oil (petroleum), same for pantyhoses, nylon and plastic and whatsoever. I already learned that at primary school
Well, there is a substitute for most of it. No need for plastic containers, bags, nylon cloths, socks, shoes. We hardly had this as I grew up. We had wood, tin, paper, glass, and clay. It all exists so without plastic we won't die.
Argentina is the biggest meat consumer of the world. They can also eat carrots, eggplants, rice or something else. I don't care if they eat a donkey, horse, dog or cow or bird. I personally find it ridiculous to state one animal is more precious than others. They better start breeding rabbits since donkeys will not breed fast.
You're right.
