The purpose of this thread is the realization that the proles are so stupid as to what funds a welfare state, that the inevitable will occur:
Scenario: Vast amounts of shale resource sit right underneath densely populated cities. Nanotechnology, as realized in enabling propulsion and arming of huge numbers of very small airborne vehicles, will forcibly remove people and then patrol shale deposit sites. This is the final stage of the age of oil.
Don't tell me those bleeping "public" "private" "investor" "renewable" scams like wind turbines, solar panels, nuclear reactors, and batteries are ever going to work. They are "funded" by importing a 100 million new peasants every year to destroy wages and living space. The stupid populace is not going to get funded by trying to sell electricity to each other in order to watch Dr. Phil. Once the royalty stream from oil/gas is cut off, they are toast. I know it, because where I live there is no mineral rights for landowners and the standard of living is dropping like a rock if you're not politically connected.
Gold is money. Oil/gas is money. Electricity from uranium or wind/solar is NOT GUARANTEED money. Electricity is not fungible or storable. Get it?
The END OF CIVILIZATION IS HERE. WalSoupline is unfundable.
The only thing relevant for the average citizen is nanotechnology. There is your escape hatch to become valuable to your corporate masters as they will love nanotechnology because it can secure remaining people infested mineral deposits without being identified.
Admit it...you know the people are going to get kicked off those high grade deposits in the ghettos pretending to be cities. The banking system employing the exponential interest function requires automated mass production. Giant nuclear reactors, wind turbines, CSP's, etc need not apply.
You cheerleaders are hopelessly delusional. You think if you get your pom-poms and rah-rah your celebrity zeroes that everything will be okay. Well I'm sick of you bleeping dolts and your liberal college debating arguments passed off as science. You can shove your census up your rear ends along with the cable TV.
Bye I'm outta here.
