      Covid would have decimated them while the Grinch wouldn’t have even noticed. Bet the Grinch also has a zero carbon footprint.

        The amount of gadgets and other miscellaneous items he has tells me otherwise. Also, how is he powering all of that? I don’t see any solar panels or wind turbines close to his cave on the top of that mountain. E: Pretty sure powering it all with dog power leaves a bigger carbon footprint than a generator.

          Carbon footprints require fossil fuels. Burning wood is carbon neutral and if he and the dog are hunting or gathering, they’d be doing in a sustainable way just by happenstance.

      Uhhmmm, Christmas is Jesus birth. Im pretty sure he knew He was born.

      What capitalism has twisted it into now would most certainly not be what Christ wanted and probably would have said the similar things He said to the pharisees.
