Did Al Gore Take Away the Good Sponges?

Post by SteveHGraham »

Since machinists are continually running into the problem of being unable to get useful products due to the intervention of greenies, I thought someone here might be able to answer a question for me. Why is it so hard to buy a synthetic sponge now? They're all cellulose. Bleach eats them up. Last time I went to Home Depot, I saw no synthetic sponges at all.

Go to the auto parts store. I got some poly-something sponges at NAPA not long ago.
They hold up to solvent in my parts cleaning sink, unlike cellulose.

I wonder what the hippies had against sponges.

Just wait till someone informs them that cellulose comes from trees......
And 'organic' sponges were living organisms.....that were murdered

To me, this reads like bait. Sponges and stuff invites a whole different thing. Remember the word "pandemic".

I admit, the pandemic angle never occurred to me.

Me either. Just another unposted post. Dang it is bad though. There is a larger game here and even more serious.
