This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

A Plant For All Seasons

May 20, 2026

Here’s a little something to take your mind off the sheer stupidity, death and destruction of the Trump era. After all, he is but a symptom of a much deeper, dumber and deadlier problem that is much older and likely to only worsen. I do not know its name, but I know it when I see it, and it is as pervasive as the air we breathe and continue to disrespect.

Sure, Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump just stole nearly two million dollars of our money to pay off his malignant militia of traitorous criminals, while he continues his literal destruction of the Remains of The White House and our economy, and continues to worsen his defeat in his illegal, disastrous war in Iran, and continues his perpetual crime spree. Sure Trump is attempting to make it illegal for the IRS to ever investigate or hold him or his criminal spawn responsible for tax crimes (like the ones he was already convicted of in New York) that they are absolutely committing and have been for decades, and will continue to do. And yes, everyone knows that he and his black-robed hench-mutants are hard at work destroying free and fair elections in America. 

None of this holds a candle in the long run to the wanton destruction of the environment that even MAGA morons depend on to continue wasting oxygen better spent on sentient beings.

Hemp is likely the most versatile, eco-friendly, important plant on the planet…especially for humans. Forget the fact that its twin cannabis provides countless people all across the planet many happy times…I already have. The applications of the non-psychoactive hemp plant are almost mind-bogglingly many. It makes the best paper and cloth and its medicinal uses are just now being identified. But wait, there's more.

Hemp, as it happens, grows like a weed, requires no toxic fertilizers or pesticides, and does not deplete the soil in which it grows. A very woke plant. And somehow, even the likes of Donald Fucking Trump signed a law that made growing industrial hemp legal for the first time in nearly a century.

We recently came across this video on Hempcrete – a hemp-based building material with almost unbelievable properties: fire-proof, mold-resistant, insect-resistant and its life-cycle has positive impacts on the environment.

The things hemp can replace – paper, cloth and building materials are all manufactured using massive amount of toxic substances that hurt all of us and our environment every day.

The ubiquitous use of hemp was murdered in its sleep by greedy corporate scum like William Randolph Hearst, the Dupont family and Andrew Mellon – the wealthiest man in America and the secretary of the Treasury, and by coincidence the chief banker for the Dupont empire.

The video is much less surprising than it is saddening.

Fireproof, Mold-Proof, Pest-Proof. Why America Made This Building Material Illegal?
