@stevejette2329 Of course trees re-grow which is why timber companies re-plant to speed it up. The softwood industries in the US and Canada are enormous.

Gasoline is a refined product (which is not "pumped from the ground") and like its production local power generation is ample for dispensing. I suggest not having opinions on technology you do not really understand. Learning is useful and fun. Ignorance gets expensive. Grid interruptions for example do not take out local generators which do not use the grid for anything.

All? What is solar power? Time to seriously study technology. There is ZERO excuse (because knowledge saves so much money) for failure to constantly study useful things you can learn to do for yourself.

@OpenCarry2024 Luigi Mangione was right. The enemy understands nothing else, and their choices invalidate their humanity thus every moral obligation to them.

Open carry forfeits the advantage of surprise. That makes it foolish, end of story.

@nevacramblit719 They were never interested and instead waste time being "entertained" by movies, sports and other pacifiers.

@Disciple-ofChrist Dig them yourself. I do fine despite having back and shoulder surgery (due to other causes and being older than the dirt I remove). I just dug a ~60ft trench for my well piping and wiring and am halfway done with a second ~100 footer. It's excellent exercise and I prefer cold weather so I rarely break a sweat. My wife and I previously spread several dump truck loads of crushed asphalt and dug a ~150 foot drainage trench. I use a flap disc on an angle grinder to quickly sharpen digging tool cutting edges. The only things I outsourced on my home were drilling two deep wells (because the drill rig etc they used is worth more than my house) and one power reconnection inspection after repairing my weatherhead. There is no need to dig such trenches in one shot unless you want to rent a trencher (which are reasonable). You can read your local codes for how deep your trenches need to be, then using a few cheap tools take your time and lift small amounts of soil at a time to protect your back. I use trenching shovels (for the narrow blades), heavy steel rakes (with hockey tape on the handles for easier pulling, mattocks and grub hoes. I also use a quality garden trowel for fine work and axes for roots. I got most of my tools at yard sales, usually just the heads which I re-handle. None of this is difficult if one studies beforehand.
