Wolf at the Door

The wolf is definitely at the door and he is hungry!

As we witness the spiraling cost of oil, due to depletion, we are also witnessing the collapse of the financial monetary system. The two go hand in hand and you can not regard one without regarding the consequences of the other.

Caution: La Rouche is an obscure figure that predicts the end of the current economic model since the early seventies. He just wishes that it all crashes so that he can say : I told you so!

And it has been ending since the 70's. Rather than any sort of sustainable response to US oil peak we've just seen a series of dirty tricks.

Decades ago warnings would have be useful. Now his vindication is called for, IMHO.

Unless in my old age I have lost my powers of retention, the primary alarmist were:

U.S. Treasury official and head of the Institute for International Economics, C. Fred Bergsten, and Morgan Stanley's chief economist Stephen Roach

Your slaming of La Rouche is amusing, but it appears to be primarily irrelevent.

LAROUCHE!!!! Oh my, now we are seeing the true shorty.

And after another 12 years of depletion, we are seeing dropping costs of oil!!! Because short decided depletion doesn't matter as much as r squared values!!! Why don't you talk about costs anymore short? Project managers talk about it all the time, and yet you seem to know nothing about them at all? How can that be? Using Larouche as a reference though, so you are one of "those" folks aren't you? Did he fund any of your make-believe curve manufacturing to create the report you pimp? Does he get a cut for having clued you into where the gullible hang out? Maybe he was one of those sock puppets?

12 years onward and Shorty's on track to be the equivalent of another LaRouche.

It would be nice if I got the sense that he actually had the best interests of society in mind but I have caught a glimpse of his misanthropy here. Like Heath Ledger's joker, he just wants to see the world burn. So I think he created the ETP rube goldberg algorithm to try to forecast just that and then gather up kool-aid drinkers to shake their fists at BAU together.

BOLD PREDICTIONS
-Billions are on the verge of starvation as the lockdown continues. (yoshua, 5/20/20)

HALL OF SHAME:
-Short welched on a bet and should be shunned.
-Frequent-flyers should not cry crocodile-tears over climate-change.

Making a little coin along the way doesn't hurt either! The sock puppets are the giveaway here, if there wasn't a little $$ involved, they never would have been employed to continue milking for a revenue stream.

I actually don't think money is his main motivation. I think it's more the case of his doomerism becoming so obsessive that he can't hold a steady job and so he has to sort of collect tips from it.

This is similar to how that guy from The Oil Drum had to admit at the bottom of his farewell message that he hasn't had a steady job in 7 years and had to actually go back to focusing on his career--which, apparently, just meant he started his own separate blog and collects tips. Funny how doomerism can become this one-way-street.

No, I think what drives him most of all is grabbing some modicum of attention/fame for being a Cassandra.
