Fox news is owned by Disney, which also coincidentally owns ABC. To the media elite politics is just a demographic to placate. But when it really counts they will turn coat and misuse their ill gotten influence and prestige to advertise, misinform, and shill for profit. Another interesting fact about Disney is that they get a significant amount of funding from the Chinese communist party. So that taints their journalistic integrity as well.

As someone who helps harvest Corn each year in the fall, this is surprisingly comparable to what happens there with Grain processing.

I grew up about five miles from what was then the largest salt mine in the western hemisphere at Retsof, New York, about 30 miles south of Rochester. It spread underground all over the valley. At 16, I got the chance to go down 1500 feet and when the elevator stopped, the first thing I saw was a Jeep driving past. The office was carved out of salt, lights everywhere. Obviously, have never forgotten.

I come from a city in NY with a massive underground salt deposit that is no longer even mined here.

9:17 you can clearly see him look at the broken socket, then next scene “it broke” lol no it was broke. That said I do like watching the salt flats from up in the Carlsbad mountains when we go ride dirt bikes, wish I could share some pictures here.

Salt has been important for millennia, mostly as a food preservative in the days before refrigeration. It was so valuable that it could be used as currency. Roman soldiers were often paid in salt, the reason why we have the term "salary". The old saying, "He's worth his salt" is another throwback to when salt was so essential it could be used as pay. The ancient monarchs always had their salt, plus gold, silver, empires and whatnot, but for the ordinary people salt was worth more than any of those vain baubles.

But, with newer methods that are environmental friendly and just overall better on the roads and not ruining the roads to fast States are making the switch.

When the air-wrench fails - Giant Breaker-Bar!

Seems like there is a need for an invention of hydraulic cylinder flexible covers to keep the salt off the cylinder pistons. Sort of like a rubber accordion-like boot/sleeve that can extend and contract with cylinder extension and retraction.

When I see these shows with their fake, induced-drama... it makes me picture the place when the film crew leaves and there's just this horrendous mess that they don't usually have because they aren't usually purposely trying to break things. But then the camera guys are gone and they're just like.... crap... now we have to clean all this up.
