A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Anything grown for vegetable oil which can be used in a modified diesel engine often called greasel.

Nope; they said fuel for cooking and heating.

How specifically in a detailed process that a layman can follow do I do that?

No, no. You misunderstand.

You said it anything grown for vegetable oil can be used. Walk me through that entire process starting with plating the seeds in the ground and ending with cooking.

Oh im totally not going to do that. You are aware of what oil comes from what regardless of if you use olive, peanut, canola, sunflower, etc. There is skill in the pressing of anything efficiently but its not rocket science to to it inefficiently. Getting oil from seeds/nuts/plants is not the hard part but im not writing up or even looking up documentation on it for you.

Sounds like you're pretty aware of the process so let me offer the alternative view you seem to be pushing:

Gently and respectfully lick society's asshole
Beg society to please give you some way of cooking your food because without the help of current technology and organization you'd be the one who's cooked.
Ignore the palpable cringe of your ancient ancestors as they look down on you from the unga boonga afterlife
