CO2 is bad ? Then Why do I need CO2 generators for my green houses ? Ag advisors recommend 2-4 times the natural concentration of CO2 for increased plant production..... https://www.johnsongas.com/industrial/CO2Gen.asp Another California fornicate Green Scam ?

So your solution is to turn California into one giant greenhouse?:non:

In America one can do that if not too fussy and in an area of many markets. Yet with hot dogs still as low as about $1.00 lb. (in some places) and pasta for the same, then with other low-cost foods plus surplus one can live on less than $5. day, even better if one has a garden. But

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) Thanks be to God.

I had “No Fixed Address” on my driver’s license for a year, about 40 years ago, and was living on maybe $500/month. That kind of thing’s more fun when you’re young.

“I witnessed a couple living out of their car who
would fry the left over pizza dough from a dumpster,
in a coffee can, over an open fire in the parking
lot.”

And that’s why they are poor. Idiots. Should have put the pizza on top of the engine as they drove back from the dumpster.

I’m not offering any solution.
The article, if you read it, positioned carbon dioxide as the bad guy which I think is BS. I can’t stop California from destroying itself.

I use my green houses to extend the seasons, grow food for myself and to make money.

The money I make is mostly from leftists, some who know my political leanings but are brainwashed into paying ridiculous prices for organic produce.

They’re to f...ing lazy to do what I do

If my customers had their own greenhouses I couldn’t take their $$$ and give to the Right causes.

His wife’s job is full-time unpaid carer, she takes care of someone for free.

Would that be him and their kids?

Or he's using a new, "woke" term for "housewife."

They didn’t have to drive anywhere.
They parked about 10 feet from the
dumpster, and were camped there
for three days before the cops told
them to leave.

It’s all fun and games until he ends up with tetanus or e.coli or typhus or...

Then the taxpayers get to pay the price for his nonsense.


Yup, and this liability is why a lot of restaurants throw away their leftovers, and don;t donate it to a local food shelter. Even if you get all sorts of liability forms filled out with the shelter, the people there will still try to go after you if they get sick.
