  • I think you and kunstler are overly optimisitic. I don't know the exact figures, 100 million guns in this country? a lot of them will be put to use. The scenario I see is a combination of Soylent Green and Road Warrior. There might be some "Little House on the Prairies" or like Amish, I guess it will be a mishmash of heaven and hell.

  • strangely surreal

  • This dude just keeps it comming. The dark humor aspect to it and everything else. Is it just me or does this dude remind you of Mike Judge? The mannerisms and everything.

  • @74VDC Yes, but what happens when you no longer have fossil fuels to recycle the vinyl? The thing about vinyl siding is, it gradually deteriorates and becomes more brittle. Once that happens it can be broken merely by an impact (kids playing baseball) compromising the integrity of the house. And once the integrity of the house is compromised, rot can set in.

  • Enjoy both of your comments and agee with you guys...I think about this stuff all the time. One thing I'd like to point out though. Vinyl siding is the most sustainable and eco-friendly siding material made. Hard to believe...right Google it and you will see why...the reasons are not opinion based, but rather based on fact. Also vinyl siding is made from plastics that are pretty high up the plastic food chain, and are 100% recyclable. I used to think the same as you about vinyl...hated it.

  • Who can? Kris Can! I love this channel! First one I've subscribed to on YT. Keep up the great work. And the theme song is so fun.

  • Nice stroke. You look comfy in the water.  I'm hoping for a (part 4) of this interview.
