World Cotton Day 2024

My childhood was populated with cotton bolls. The fluffy white fiber product of the cotton plant was all around me during my high school years and on those forays to Grandma Ida's house before then. We would go to the Hugh Whetstone Gin up the road and they would suck the plants into the machine and they would be returned plant less and seedless and ready to cart off to the textiles industry.

Today is World Cotton Day.

It happens each October 7 since October 7, 2019 under the auspices of he Cotton Four countries which are Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, and Mali. . It celebrates the cotton plant which is a natural fiber used in clothing. It constitutes 27% of the textile needs of the planet. I like the breathable absorbent products manufactured from cotton and will buy it preferentially over any synthetic any time.

The United Nations has done nothing good for the world except try to rule it incompetently and we should wrap them up in cotton and burn them at the stake.

Cotton means clothing and jobs and therefore it is a good thing. The United Nations means Agenda 2030 oppression and incompetence in all things and should be disbanded.

Cotton is a global commodity. I personally feel that it with all other commodities should be the responsibility of the juridiction needing it. I simply LOVE cotton clothing, from drawers and t-shirts through the long sleeve regalia I used to don prior to retiring and finding myself totally useless.
