Orangeburg Sewer Piping is a HUGE problem nationwide, as it fails catastrophically. Plus it is made with asbestos (doh).
"The generic name for this type of pipe is “bituminous fiber pipe.” The pipe is made of a combination of cellulose and asbestos fibers impregnated with a bituminous (coal tar) compound. Bituminous fiber pipe was manufactured with either a homogenous wall or a multiple-ply laminated wall. The ends of the pipe were tapered and fitted together using a butt joint."
Notice the patterns in the marketing and “advertising” you see. WHat are they trying to accomplish? What happens if you don’t listen to them? Is your purpose in life to be a consumer?
Life now is based around accepting what others tell you instead of accepting what you yourself know. This includes being told that you are good enough, or dont look the way you should. Control and religion in the name of profit and power.
