Hemp paper is the best. It's a plant, we've been screwed outta growing the stuff for decades cuz we're stupid.

Hemp bum fluff would be twice as rough as gas station single ply.

We been screwed out of growing it because Big Pharma don't like competition and own the politicians.

You can grow all the hemp you want. Big pharma BS. Pffffb.

Oil isn't subsidized. Those autos and parts sure are.

Dig this...would you pay $45,000 for a Tesla replacement battery or would you park the car until subsidized?

You and everyone else in resources.

Would your cheque be enough to buy:

a) a replacement battery for a Tesla

Or

b) a replacement battery for a smoke detector?

Excellent question.

Recently, a friend of mine (his wife) blew the engine on her Denali Hybrid... A freak occurrence as the vehicle was a 2013 and had just over Just over 100k.

The dealership indicated that a special hybrid engine (replacement) would cost approx $8,000 (installed) and she should expect that the batteries would need replacing in a couple of years to the tune of an extra $6,000.

Needless to say, she went out and bought a cadillac

Hopefully they have an F plate. Nothing pisses off the proletariat more than an F plate on a Caddy or Lincoln.

You can buy an LS7 for less and have 600HP of EPA approved fun.

Thanks... I really should have known.

That said, she did have a sweet deal with the old hybrid (flex fuel), some of the larger shopping malls have special parking (right out front) for flex fuel cars.

It was hilarious as this beast of a Denali got special privileges over the standard greentards that went to that same mall.
