And we export 1.9 million BARRELS a day (About 80 million gallons). So the issue is half-handled by simply not exporting diesel. I hate to go mercantilist on this, but reserving a nation’s own production for its own use first and only selling excess is not a terrible national economic practice.

Lady in the red mouths “It’s true”. Without any recognition this is cult behavior. And while he loves adoration, he’s now openly showing he hates his followers. It isn’t their love and respect he wants. It started in the beginning with “I love the uneducated”. It’ll get worse…quickly.

No, it’s true. You are on your own. Then comes the guilt of being a burden on your unit. And the wondering of your worth based on fitness/ability. They obviously failed at care as reported. They are a meat grinder and always have been. Ask me how I know.

So…the claim (through proven video and photos) was correct, and they don’t even attempt to address those troubling points. Also, once again: misdemeanor.

Diprotodon, the proto-wombat, was the size of an SUV. They lived alongside anatomically modern humans in Australia for about 10,000 years until going extinct about 25-40,000 years ago. If they had proportionally sized cubic poop, it would be the size of a cinderblock, I think?
Something I found on Reddit.  It shows a hypothetical scale-up of the wombat, probably ahistorical, as the Diprotodon is from a distinct lineage from the modern wombat, but it gets the idea of size across by putting it next to a modern northern hairy-nosed wombat.
