Ennui, the post was not intended for you. You need to study up on basic economics, money supply, the nature of work and energy before you shoot your trap off again. Just shut up and go away

My bold tags speak for themselves about the integrity of your posting.
I know you're posts are meant for the echo-chamber which is why this site needs a little dissent now and then. How long before you resort to swearing like you did in PMs to me?

End is nigh, huh? How nigh? What does "Greatest Global Depression" mean for Joe Public? Presumably the end of EV dreams, of course, because that's what you so dearly want to see happen. So how could you possibly see it any other way? But seriously, if you're gonna make a prediction, be specific, because right now things really aren't so bad and people like Peter Schiff and Ron Paul have been whining about fiat currency for many years now. You can't go around the internet for long without bumping into some blogger saying the bubble's gonna pop, usually someone with a book, seminar, or freeze dried rations to sell. Meanwhile, the world keeps turning, store shelves remain stocked, and doomer dreams of wailing and gnashing of teeth on Main Street continue to be, at best, postponed.

I don't recall ever saying "a couple of years". I stop short of making specific predictions. But I don't think things are going to collapse like a house of cards anytime soon.
And lately you seem to interject with these "buts". What does the "But" signify? If the center holds for a couple years or 20 years, how does that constitute a "but"? Doomers don't live in the present. They live in the future. If we moved the clock back to the neolithic revolution, people happy about the dawn of agriculture would face a killjoy "but" from doomers talking about the 21st century. You want to tell me BAU isn't sustainable? You think I don't know that? You want to tell me I should alter my lifestyle for when TS really HTF? I've done that in my own way and come to the conclusion that I have too many advantages in the BAU workforce to do anything but leverage them while BAU remains extant, rather than bugging out. It's golden shackles and it's my best avenue. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
