$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')eak Oil, and it turned out to be much less exciting or dramatic than many folks anticipated.
It certainly did, probably because of all the fearmongering plagurists that come on line to build their own little empires. Michael Ruppert, and his ilk, no one was happier than I when he put a pistol in his mouth, Oh they made out that he was depressed and all that, well I would be too if I'd made so many life mistakes and taken so much money off people for nothing just to fund my lifestyle. His old website has finally been abandoned by the faithful, it advertises Casinos now.
Don't they look so chic, makes you want to buy some "Gambling" cloths and get down to Vegas doesn't it.
But peak oil has actually been quite dramatic, for many. You'd never see them here, you need money for a computer and a connection and they live in tents. Many others live in their cars, others struggle to pay rent of make mortgage repayments. As someone once said, "The depression is here, it's just not equally distributed" The extent of the Lies in the Government and media today is Legend. Anything unpalatable (aside from political spins) is buried under an avalanche of fake news and manipulated data. They have certainly learned from the Great Depression experience, no bankers are swinging from street lamps or jumping out of windows. They just jump from job to job, a Golden Parachute on their back.
What was the Great Depression anyway. As was said, people had everything but money. And where does money come from? Jobs of course. So people had everything but jobs, and jobs in the modern (industrial) economy comes from creating stuff and selling it to consumers. Once consumers have enough they stop buying, then you give them access to credit (Debt) and they can keep on buying and keep the economy alive longer. Bubbles are created, in the 1920's it was land prices and farm prices and everyone was buying a car and a radio, on Debt.
If you kept your job through the GD you did fine. Everything got cheaper and there were some real deals to be had. If you'd kept your money out of the Banks and stock market that is. So it will be with PeakOil, as long as you have the means you'll still be able to get what you want. Just beware of Banks and the stock market.
We're 17 years past the peak now and the 3rd World is going hungry and dark. We'll be next, we're well on the way in fact.
as good or better than oil out of our asses, but until we do (or possibly if we do it too late), we are screwed.
Have a nice day!
