The Rant to end all Rants? Maybe...

- I don't know who's pet cause the single use plastic ban was, but it's in line with the rest of the anti-human, anti-progress and anti-convenience BS that's taken over what passes for modern thinking.
That one time when I have to turn around to drive back 20Km to get the reusable bags I forgot to bring more than equals a decade of plastic bag use.
The absurdity is that they do this and the misinformed public think that it's saving the planet. Here, in Canada! The entirety of population of the landmass labelled as Canada could cease to exist tomorrow and it would have a completely insignificant effect on the environment, present and future. We are just punishing ourselves with the narcissistic delusion that we matter.
I made a comment in a recent video on my audio channel about Star Trek: TNG (I'm re-watching it) and said that the bright future portrayed in that show was a lie. The future envisioned in that series was based on an attitude that comes out of the forward thinking, future and progress loving 50's and 60's. Since then we've completely gone off the rails and are headed for a much bleaker future.
Imagine how many windmills and solar panels and electric cars you could make from the materials that go into building a galaxy class star ship.
Antimatter engines??? Not in My backyard!
Phasers and photon torpedoes??? Gun lover! Ban weapons and embrace equity, diversity and inclusivity!! Let the Borg take you without a fight! Fighting is bad and quite obviously racist, so just give up! You'll be happier when what's left of the little bit of thinking you do for yourself has been taken away.

should have taken the red pill
"Hey, peasant! Stop using plastic bags so we can save the world." Said the man flying in a private jet.
Preach it!
@@JayBates How DARE you .... bring up fascist common sense and logic!
I could recommend a "rants" channel? I understand your frustrations with ranting and people not listening or taking a beat. I have found it helps to provide solutions. At least they can argue a point and not just rail against your feelings and jokes.
Your single use plastic bag story reminded me of when here in the UK they banned plastic straws wrapped in paper so now we have paper straws wrapped in plastic! The mind boggles.
That's industry trolling government
In the UK we get charities posting single use bags through the door for us to fill with donations and leave outside. They're great for the garbage.
Don't end the rants John. Some of us love them. 🤣
Yeah, I love Johns rants too!
Some in the USA like to copy anything done in Canada so I expect the same ban here soon. I also use those plastic bags for garbage. Have no fear I will always click on your rants!
Thanks John, nice mini rant, as always, a pleasure 😂
I for one miss your rants, John. Yet I understand why you’re perhaps giving up on them.
Where I'm at, Washington State, the state put on an 8 cents per bag price. Walmart, then didn't want to charge 8 cents for their usual thin bags as they would look offensively over priced. So they substituted new thick bags--- very thick. So the environmentalist goal was defeated... counterproductive.
My in-laws visited us from New York state (I'm in Georgia)...they asked us for all of our plastic bags for that exact reason since they are now illegal in NYS.
I have to agree with you about "single use plastic bags", I've always used them again as trash bags and other things.
I find it ludicrous that now I am going to buy plastic bags for the sole purpose of throwing them away.
“The fight has been beaten out of me.”
That’s exactly what they want of all of us.😔
Yes, it is. We can’t let them win, though. 😤
I buy thousand pack boxes of those bags that we used to be given for free off Amazon for around $20. They last a long time and I got black color bags so people won’t see my bathroom garbage. I use them for shopping and for picking up after my dog.
I may do that and leave the box in my van. That way, even I have reusable bags, I won't have to turn around and scurry back (or buy more of them in the store) if I forget them.
But then again I already have at least a couple of hundred of the shopping bags they are outlawing, so I'll just stuff those in a box to use.
Hi!! Now this is a great idea, @traderjoes! I’ll be doing this, myself. I really love the idea of the black bags, too! That’s really thoughtful for anyone who happens across your bath trash. I hate looking at my own bath trash. I assume that everyone appreciates it. Thanks for sharing this! I hadn’t thought of buying a box anywhere.
I'm with you on the ludicrousness of the plastic bag ban. We, too, use the plastic bags for garbage. In WA state, the bag charge is 8 cents.
As one who only recently began tuning in to your rants, I appreciate them! It's amazing how much regression can happen in the name of progress. Examined in isolation, plastic bag bans are a mild annoyance. But add it to the running list of the "regressive" movement's agenda and it can make a preacher cuss!
John! I love you! And I love your content. I miss the homemade shop tools. Wooden geared contraptions. And how-tos on making things like a wooden block and tackle. Please don’t stop. Make bird houses. Make rat traps. Small projects with witty comments. ❤❤❤
If you don't use the plastic grocery sacks then you have to be organized enough to bring other sacks with you. Some US states have started charging for the bags too so when I visit there I have to remember to bring along my own bag. I used those grocery sacks for trash but also I would put my lunch in them to take to work. Well now we're all working from home so maybe that doesn't matter.
Another thing that went away- newspaper. I used to have plenty of newspaper around to wrap things in, lay down when I'm working on something dirty, spread out for painting, use as masking for painting, etc. Now I don't have newspaper for that.
Please don’t change or stop your rants! They are fine and we tune in because your combination of things keeps us interested and allows us to visit you when we really cannot do it face to face.
We too have had such a ban and we used to reuse bags as well. Our solution has been to buy many reusesbles so we almost cannot forget them. We then find ways to reuse those new bags for other tasks as well. And where as I used to have 10 bags digging into my hands when I get home from shopping, the better handles of 4 reuseables are much better. And yes, I have to buy other plastic bags. But I blame the darned slobs who for years could not be bothered with throwing anything in the trash and leaving these old single use bags everywhere! They ruined things for everyone! But my town actually is a bit cleaner without those bags all over!
Be well John and keep up what you are doing!
Said better then I could muster! ❤
Give me convenience or give me death!
Everyone that I know had a second use for these plastic bags. In my country (in EU), you can still buy them at the cashier's along with alternative "bio-degradable" and reusable bags. There is an exception - you can still get them for free for bagging vegetables and fruits - though effort is being made to remove these aswell.
I've seen many people taking tens of these bags from the vegetable & fruits area and over at the self-service cashier's (these are common in our country) and stuffing them in their pockets.
I've been using a textile bag I got from a relative (as a sponsor material from her company) for the past decade. I find it more convenient as it's stronger and bigger. It does not reduce my carbon footprint though as I have to buy plastic bags for my trash.
I think something like 0.02% of global plastic pollution belongs to Canada. Ie plastics in the environment, not a landfill. They claimed to do this to save 1 million tons of what they call "hard to recycle" single use plastic from going into landfills. But grocery bags aren't single use for most of us, and aren't hard to recycle, either. Hdpe and ldpe are relatively easy to recycle, so much so that the avg Joe can do it at home with a diy extruder and press if they were motivated enough. People just don't recycle them. Why? Most of us give them a second use as garbage bags so we don't have to buy ACTUAL single use bags, or leaky boot liners, or whatever tf our imaginations come up with. The feds later admitted that the ban will actually add another >3 million tons of waste to the landfills annually while burdening other industries and compounding other problems. It makes 0 sense. But it wasn't supposed to. It was just more virtue signaling because they don't know how to do anything other than manipulate ignorant people. But what do I know? I'm just that fence-sitting centrist libertarian that everyone loves to hate. Paper bags make good fire starter though 🤷♂
I got a chance to watch that hose repair short when it was posted. I liked it, and my brain filled in a "colorful" sound bite when the coupling didn't want to go into the hose.
I was up in N.Y. visiting family. Learned that plastic bags are banned. How stupid. Especially since people have stuffed shipped from Amazon with a massive amount of plastic air bags for packing.
Don't give up on the rants John,I for one also used the grocery bags for trash,and dog crap,now I'm gonna have to buy them!!,Although the groceries stores keep asking me if I want my meat products and produce in bags,free!! So when I do come home I will take the meat and produce out of them and reuse the bags for trap and some rubbish items.Just have to remember not to put them in the freezer or fridge!!!
Our Safeway has paper now. Oh those damned paper bags! Takes me back the 70's. And they still rip, they haven't improved them. And then we put the produce and so many other things in plastic bags into the paper bag! Stupid. And being a fellow Canuck, you know they made hard drugs legal in BC but they can't use plastic straws to snort it up! FML. This world is turning into clown world.
I saw somewhere that it actually takes more energy and material to make a paper bag.
Can$0.40 per single use bag here, N. Ireland.
I'm with you John....Perhaps we should use wood bags for our groceries, like the wood cutlery you get with take out food. I suppose they would be grocery boxes. Although we probably had those a hundred years ago...
If they ban bags were I live, I too will end up buying bags for my trash.
I bought some galvanized duct work fitting at Home Depot. the put them in a paper bag. It didn't make it out the store before it ripped. they double bagged them for me. That's three bags for one purchase.
Same, here! I love your rants. I was just lucky enough to come across this channel a couple of weeks ago and have already watched most of the videos here!
You and I think in very similar fashions on a lot of topics. I enjoy hearing your unpopular, Un-politically correct opinions.
Keep ranting, John!! We love you.
Stopping rants... that's up to you... but don't stop the movie clips at the end of these videos! They crack me up
Would miss the rants!
Those single-use shopping bags have many downstream uses.
One of your funniest videos for me was when you were working in your basement and you said, "I f*cking hate plumbing!". I don't why I found it so funny. Maybe 'cos I wasn't expecting the f bomb. I've tried looking for those videos of you doing your basement, but I can't find them.
I would recommend warm normal light with high RA-value combined with colouring the epoxy. Personally I can't stand the utterly bad quality of light from most "rgb" led's
Epoxy river table with blue light... made my day.... And i am shure you will upload the video on insta or TikTok xD
That air hose fix came up as a short in the UK John, I watched it yesterday!
Defending your own mental stability is a good thing! Sounds like ranting is good for you, but the feedback is what's toxic. So a couple things you can try is: Take a break from it for a while and see if you miss it at all. If it turns out that you miss getting stuff off your chest, try publishing a couple with comments turned off. See how well that balances the pros and cons.
I don’t comment much, like never really, however I understand where you’re coming from and I appreciate you even more after this video. Don’t let ‘em get ya down, can’t please everyone so F’em they can’t take a joke. Thank you
Is it thinking for yourself, or is it an ability to think? The problem isn't that people are necessarily brainwashed into what to think (although that happens on both sides of everything). The problem is that human beings, for the most part, have difficulty thinking. We just aren't as smart as we hope to be. So we overreact to things and cut off our nose to spit our face. While some things might get in your craw, the reality is, or better, the challenge is to not let those things get to you and persevere anyway.
So enjoy your humour! I'm sure you have more rants in you John, come on , dig deep🤣. Love your rants.
Rant away.....
I'm on the same page as you about the grocery bags issue.
Okay, John. Although I agree with the stupidity of the ban on plastic bags I also agree with the futility of the rant, without starting a rant of my own. So, I enjoy and appreciate your humor and sometimes self depreciation, and the subject content of your videos, whether woodworking projects on your main channel or the technical content of your audio channel. Bottom line, I truly enjoy conversations, although one sided ,with you whatever the topic. Thanks for filling the time of an old man. 😊
We do love the rant. But with age comes wisdom, eh John?
I guess I'm in the minority, wanting to see the floor project.
That is the point. They beat the fight out of you.
Say it ain't so. I am soooooo over the epoxy craze.
Very interesting view on the carrier bags. I think I agree. You can use them more than once, but the bins bags have one use and one use only. AND you have to pay for the privilege.
Keep on keeping on John 👍👏
Yeah... I'm starting to think about buying groceries using one of those food apps, which also sells other stuff. Then it's their problem to deliver it here.
Anyway, stay safe there with your, John! 🖖😊
hang in there John, been watching for years
Sometimes being part of the 1 sucks. 😂
I would watch that floor video but I understand that I would be of the minority and lot to edit. I would be interested in any hi-lights, don’t do and do this instead. I have always been worried about using wood flooring in a basement on concrete.
maybe a YTshort superfast of the making of the floor?! i see there some short of remaking room, wall, floor...
i do the same thing with plastic bags that shopping comes in.. use them for garbage
To the title: Unlikely. You like to rant. Most of us like to hear you rant. It is fine.
Thanks for the video, John!
Everyone leave a supportive comment!! :)
Nice rant! Can you give us a walk around after your new speakers are done? I haven't seen your new floor yet and I'd like to see
Well what the heck! I’ve been wondering why not so many new videos lately. Now I see you have many channels!
I think you could always move into personalised and/or topical rants to order, at a price of course.
How do you only go to the grocery store Once A Month?
Don't you eat fresh food? 🤔 (LOL)
I’m hoping to see a video on the floor in the listening room.
You cant force a Rant. They are fickle like inspiration or tastes. Eventually youre going to feel another genuine one rolling down the barrel, and when you do grab a camera and let it rip
Hey John, any way you want to go is ok with me. You have always brought good stuff for me, some of us enjoy you like a friend. Like to check in with you to see what your up to. Do what you do John. ☝️😎
I guarantee that the rant you edited out was not sounding crazy at all to normal thinking people but in backwards 75 IQ world it probably would sound nuts.
You ok John? You've been looking kind of odd the last couple of months, i think since the hack channel thing. Hope you're all right
Get off my lawn!
i refuse to believe this is your final rant.
you seem to be far too observant not to be bothered by the idiotafacation of the wide world around us. so, Rant On.
looking forward ti the riverfied island table.
I kind of agree that it is tough to make a floor video into something click-able.
Should we put together a "bagraiser", or a "GoBagMe"? How many of those shopping bags could we cram in a care package for you, John? There are places in the states where they are banned/charged for, but not everywhere.
Love it!
The plastic bag ban is just virtue signaling from the usual suspects. Doesn't matter whether it actually does what they claim it will do or not, nor whether that's a desirable goal or not, what matters is that they can inconvenience the rest of us and feel good about themselves while doing so. Bah. Same with re-cycling, as you implied.
Best wishes from Texas.
We are charged $.08 USD per bag. First it was save the trees, then, plastic bad, paper ok. Just more subtle taxation, control. There's a lot of money to be made in "green and environment friendly" mandates. It's an emotionally driven ideology which makes it easy to manipulate the emotionally governed. That truth makes their heads explode in denial and outrage which is the expected conditioned response. Logic and reason are not required, also evident in the ideology. Keep up the rants.
awesome rant exactly how i feel we are being taxed to death for a useless cause the govt can't or won't tell us where the taxes being collected to save the planet are being spent on sheesh....sorry for the rant....keep ater lad
When people start realizing that what they do matters not to the planet, it will be a sad day for them. The Earth has a finite life span, just like everything else, and trying to make yourself feel better about its demise is pure folly.
Honest question: do you really think that banning single use plastic will save the planet? Or do you think it's a step in the right direction?
Another question: Do you think the planet is in worse shape today than it was 100 years ago?
LOL, the planet will keep chugging along, long after we are all dust. We are not harming the planet, we are making it unlivable for ourselves. I'm fine with that.
@@IBuildItScrapBin It's probably worse today because of progress, however, that does not mean we are destroying it. There will be a time when we have to settle for less comfort and more work. The planet will dictate which direction we go and getting back to basics may be a wake up call.
You use the word "probably", which suggests you are not sure. If you are actually not sure, why do you make such definitive statements? Wouldn't it be better to do some research on the subject rather than making assumptions, and then stating those assumptions as facts?
You see resources as finite and that they will eventually run out, and we will have to make do with less. But that's a narrow view of how we progress. We innovate and invent new ways of doing things. That's why we aren't all starving to death today, even though as little as 20 years ago there were well respected scientist that were predicting mass famines due to over-population.
But when you start putting limits on what we can do as a species, then you stifle innovation. You shut down progress.
It's no mystery why we had a huge explosion of invention, innovation and as a result progress on every front (in particular quality of life) just three hundred years ago. It was freedom on a scale not seen before in history and with that freedom the drive to work to make life better.
@@IBuildItScrapBin I try not to get political on these answers, however there are forces at work that will send our progress backwards. One such way is the "save the planet" scam. A bunch of people who think they are smarter than the "common" man, however less intelligent they are, are trying to run our lives. The more they push the narrative, the less rights we have. Too bad Britain was such a sore loser. By the way, we aren't starving to death today because of chemicals, the same ones responsible for illnesses we can't cure. I'm glad I bought land years ago, and can live on it as I want. Just my thoughts, not pushing any agenda, religion or idea. Who is John Galt!
The single use bags were banned around here in my town. Unfortunately that took away my dog poop bags. So I go onto ebay and buy a box of 1,000 of them for like $20. Suck it hippies!
They banned them here in Maine USA , I used them for garbage bags too. Now I buy plastic single use garbage bags hmmmmmmmm. Progress.
