The Plain Truth is so Happy That You Have Been Enjoying Bob’s Broadcasts.
2000 years ago, a newscaster that we know of as Jesus Christ warned us about false Christianity. The warning was not against the devil but against false Christianity…about people who come in His name and deceive many.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BOB BARNEY’S 7:11 AM BROADCAST: More Crazy Regulations That Cost You Money
Several times in the morning here at 7:11 with our short show, I recorded two shows having to do with the infamous quote, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”. They were specifically about government regulations and how government regulations affect you, me, and everyone in America and the prices that these government regulations cost.
Places like OSHA and the EPA have outlived their usefulness and all they do is burden American companies. The little guy cannot compete because he cannot afford to move to China or to move away where the big guys can afford to move to those places, and they do.
They don’t do so to save on labor.
They do so to save on regulation and regulatory laws that no one can follow legitimately.
What I wanted to show you in the other two programs had to do with the absolute insanity of the EPA rulings and how they really don’t even know what they’re doing; they make up laws as they go. As a result of these two shows I received about five emails. That’s more than I usually get on any one subject. The response was that what I shared was quite interesting and they said maybe I should do a longer show someday and give more examples.
It seems like I had a lot of examples. Well, I’m going to bore the people who don’t want to hear this one more time on today’s short broadcast in the morning and I am going to give another example of the EPA’s malfeasance and total ignorance of chemicals and of what’s good for you and what’s not good for you and how they go about it. You have to think there’s money in here somewhere for them.
There is a chemical called methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is a chemical and it’s a solvent. Methylene chloride is a chemical that the paint industry uses to make paint stripper. If anybody has ever done any paint stripping, and this is inside of a house too, you can buy the wood version of this paint stripper, but mainly people use it for stripping airplanes or cars. By the way, if you get this product on your hand, it really burns…but you brush it on the car with a brush, you let it sit for anywhere from 5 to 25 seconds, and you’ll see the paint caustically bubble up off the car. It’s just an amazing sight and then you can wash that paint off and you don’t have to sand the car to try to get the paint off that way. It works in a matter of seconds, and it can take off 8 layers of paint.
You know what though? The EPA banned the sale of methylene chloride as a paint stripper in 2019. Now, believe it or not, my company has come up with a proprietary paint stripper that is 100% legal to the EPA and worldwide. It even works as good as methylene chloride and we’re the only ones that I know of with it and we’re doing a good job. We’re selling a lot of it because the new paint strippers that are out there for stripping aircraft and cars just simply does not work. You put these inferior products on and about 20-30 minutes later, your paint will be gummy…well, it is even harder to get gummy paint off than blistered paint. You’re better off just sanding with a grinder, however, what we came up with at Tamco is legit.
Another point that I would like to touch on. I want to get to the nonsensical EPA.
So, they banned methylene chloride as a paint stripper in 2019 and they proposed a ban on its sale for any commercial use, especially in the paint industry. California recently introduced a bill seeking to ban the use of methylene chloride in…believe it or not..coffee.
Huh? Coffee?
Yes, methylene chloride is a chemical solvent used to remove the caffeine from coffee beans and is the more popular method of decaffeinating coffee that exists today. The process involves soaking the coffee beans in hot water to extract the caffeine, then rinsing the beans with methylene chloride to bond with the caffeine. The methylene chloride caffeine compound is then removed, and the beans are dried and roasted. Here are some things to consider about methylene chloride and decaf coffee. Safety. The FDA allows up to 10 parts per million of methylene chloride in your decaf coffee.
You know, it’s so funny. You can’t put methylene chloride on your car, but you can put it in your belly in the form of decaffeinated coffee. This is the nonsense that the FDA, the EPA, and all government bureaucracy agencies are perpetrating on the American public. Some say that the methylene chloride process maintains coffee’s great flavor and they don’t want to stop using it. Other processes do not have the same flavor process.
Methylene chloride is also used, not just in paint removers, but also in pharmaceutical products. Folks, you can’t make this stuff up. That you can’t put it in a paint stripper that worked really great as a paint stripper…sigh. I do think it’s probably hazardous and I’m glad that, you know, Tamco actually came up with one that works that is not as hazardous and it works every bit as good. But the point being is that you’re going to ban it for paint companies to use and body shops to use and aircraft refinishers to use, but you’re going to allow it in the foods chain. On top of that, you’re going to allow it in the pharmaceutical industry inside of your medicine.
I told everybody and I showed pictures, maybe I’ll put a picture up tonight with this story of a drum of toluene that my company bought from a solvent company however, we use toluene in our reducers to add to paint, or it’s one of the additives in paint to make it a liquid and to be able to spray it onto your car. Well, I got a drum of a toluene that says toluene kosher. Now, anyone who knows what kosher is as it is relating to the Jewish dietary laws of what you can eat. They have strict kosher laws. In fact, you can never use a utensil that had pork in it for a kosher product. You have to have separate utensils and separate cookers and separate everything. If you’re going to make kosher products, that’s how strict they are. But evidently, they still allow toluene in kosher products. This is yet another example of the nonsensical things we’ve come to.
So that’s my last story on The Plain Truth Today about what’s the EPA and regulations are doing to this industry and what craziness we manufacturers have to go through each and every day dealing with these morons. The morons who say, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help you’. Like hell they are.
This is Bob Barney saying thank you for listening.
