Good for JHK for recognizing Gail’s fine work and doing the interview. Falling EROI is even more of a problem than an energy prices that are either too low or too high. Then there’s all that CO-2. We live–and will die–in interesting times indeed.

This blog is now a joke. It is full of people trying to sell book and look for a speaking contract. The web is not a big joke and wise people know and make fun of it.

Sorry I have to correct my gramattical errors. It is very important on the web to look good

Gail predicts that in the next 10-20 years there will be economy-dependent problems of all kinds, with the population falling off. That, however, is one consequence which seems extremely unlikely, since American politics is opening the floodgates for the dark floods of the Third World to slosh in and balloon our numbers. Christian America, allied with all the atheist media pinkos and the putrid POTUS now in power, demands that all sentient beings be given all the goodies Whitey has developed. After all, according to the Demonic Party and other socialist groups, Whites have “stolen” their advances from the jungle bunnies and other stagnant types. So it seems unlikely that the overload will abate until the empire collapses.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem?
Granny Turdberg, another in a long list of nutter porn doomers, says:
We should not be too surprised if the economy starts taking major downward steps in the next few months
The typical semi-monthly non-falsifiable bull shit rendered by a business/economic retard.

“We should not be too surprised if the economy starts taking major downward steps in the next few months”
Well then, she would be wrong then wouldn’t she. The world’s economies started taking major downward steps 7 years ago. Remember the “global financial crisis” that they still talk daily about recovering from? Our economies have been duct taped together with nothing more than mountains of un-repayable debt, and lies. Getting angry isn’t going to help you in the least marmi-noo. There’s plenty of positive steps that you can still take, but your time is rapidly running out.

Penny made a fine comment. The rest of you guys are driving people away with your anger and vitriol. Why? Is it your personalities? Or, are you paid to troll and destroy this site?

This blog is destroying itself by not banning people like me and other people that make shitty comments.
