The world machine is running hot. The system is visibly losing the necessary rhythm. A terrible screeching fills the orbit. The roar of bombs, the wailing of the starving, the muffled cry of the drowning. The glaciers are melting, the deserts are growing. Our wonderful human energy is lost in unsightly friction or flows into the same places over and over again. <\/p>\n\n
!!!<\/p>\n\n
Reason: The lubricant is too old, important points in the gearbox are no longer being reached, while it is clumping more and more in other places. The lubricant is unsuitable for continuous operation – or: it has not been changed at the necessary intervals. <\/p>\n\n
!!!!<\/p>\n\n
The lubricant is called “money”<\/p>\n\n
