Treebeard's Uncle about SUV's:

This whole idea of having obese entitled endebted isolates driving around in circles is pointless.

The economy here consists of folks going into debt to waste fossil fuels to produce garbage. In the process most of them just get older, fatter and uglier and more in debt and a few administrators and ceos etc get lots of green paper.

Am hoping this po dust-up tanks suburbia. GM is already scrapping a 2 billion dollar program to make new slobotomobiles for ugly obese morons.

Can I second that motion, Aaron? This is exquisite.

But mostly, we have to stop UN-sequestering all that carbon that has been safely squirreled away by the earth (in its infinite wisdom)in the forms of oil, gas and coal.

Working on improving the situation a little with sequestration while we make the situation much much worse every day by extracting and burning stupendous quantities of safely sequestered carbon is...well, what is it. Insanity? Suicidal idiocy? BAU?...

From Page 2 of the "Fast Crash!" thread:

virgincrude wrote:

Just this week there have been a few reports that finally got me agreeing with some of the doomer's scenarios around here: first the IEA report, which although has been given a positive spin, assumes a massive injection of investment if we are to simply stand still, while also assuming the discovery of as-yet undiscovered fields. To call for massive investments at precisely the time the finances of the world are gripped by panic and inertia, gives me very little reason to hope for a slow crash.

This about sums it up. Well said, virgincrude. Bravo!

The Banking Industry doesn't need ANY workers. The whole industry can be run by Henry Paulson from his Laptop. He can write checks to himself, borrow from himself at Zero Percent and charge himself 18% interest on the money he borrows to make zillions on the money Ben printed for him yesterday.

It only stops working when he can't afford to buy any more ink.

I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

This is succinct.

Ultimately when oil production drops so severely that demand destruction can no longer keep up with it, then we will begin to see the final act of peak oil collapse. Still being on the plateau as we are in a world that continues to waste tons of oil, I think this whole episode just shows how much buffer there is before the store shelves are empty and zombies take to the streets.

"Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation, pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream, to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea."

In six hundred years we've progressed from not knowing the world is round to not knowing oil production follows a bell curve.

So I say, step away...examine what you are being spoon fed to believe.

Stepping away does not mean embracing fear and doom. It means embracing structures that are long term sustainable. Learn to grow some of your own food. Learn where your heat and electricity come from. Learn to chop some wood, make your meals from scratch, raise some livestock. Learn who your neighbor is and where your food comes from. Think about how much you depend on that is not sustainable. Then look to ways of developing a more sustainable and non-fossil fuel based life.

A gift to all of us from Thuja... nice, and nicely put.

I second that. Short, witty and, most important, up to point.

I think we're having a big sale on inventory before the whole world shop goes out of business.

It's cheap to buy things now, but they aren't ordering anything to replace what's out there on the shelves now.

By next summer a lot of the inventory will be gone.

Then they'll close up shop.
