Alex grew up in the Dallas suburbs, listening to James Dobson. He owns a nice home in the Austin suburbs, drives a late model SUV. He and his wife bought an I-phone the first day it came out.
He's stated that "I believe the pie gets bigger."
The guy who stands in for him somtimes has a brand new ford mustang to go with his large truck.
I know this because I routinely listen to Alex's shows and have been trying to figure out how he could so botch the facts surrounding Peak Oil. My best guess is he's too psychologcially invested in the suburban buildout-SUV-consumer good economy for his brian to process Peak Oil.
I emailed him 3 times in 2005 requesting his "secret documents". I said I would pay up front whatever costs are associated with his staff duplicating and sending them to me so I could post them at LATOC. Never heard back.
The only thing about this that upsets me is I'm going to get bombarded with emails that say "Matt, I've been reading LATOC but just saw endgame and Alex says it's all caca!!!!"
FWIW, Alex said "they're finding tons of oil in the North Sea." Factually not true. It peaked in 2005 and despite tons of drilling production is down a whole bunch.
I'd send Alex the documents proving it but he would just dismiss anything that contradicts him as "Illuminati controlled propaganda!!!!"
