i bit of a rant...
the american economy is due for a complete collapse by 2015 largely because of peak oil. ANY economic system that relies on continuous growth (which is all of them) will collapse because infinite growth defies the laws of physics. do you know how it would take to set up a new infostructure what will solve these problems? electricity, cars, coal, gas, chemical fertilizers, food shortage, fresh water shortage, and countless other threats are on the horizon. emerging markets like china and india have been going into countries and buying out large steaks of the world's oil reserves. one by one countries are telling us to fuck off (and they have their reasons). it takes 6 weeks to get oil from saudi arabia to a gas station in america, it takes 4 DAYS from venezuela. that would have been ideal but they told us to go fuck ourselves and sold it to china. all around the world america is getting middled out of the oil that is still in the ground, yet... we are STILL burning through the shit like we're still finding oil fields. even worse, if america tries to pull some crazy shit like in iraq we will have to world to answer to. china used 13% of iran's oil in 2003 imagine the numbers now, if we invade iran or any other oil producing country that is financed by a potential world power you better believe EVERYONE will turn on america. worse still, we are doing nothing to replace the edifice oil has provided to us. it would require countless amounts of oil just to build the infostructure that would save us, the only problem is even if we started tomorrow we wouldn't have enough oil to transition to another system. EVERYTHING that we use and need is derived from oil, coal, natural gas and water. america is borrowing against its debt from foreign countries that are using the proceeds to buy up the last reserves. this is not some distant threat, this is something we have to think about today. im no economist, just a regular dude who pays attention. if anyone else wants to chime in it would be cool to get some views from the average joe.
Money is a metaphor for being able to do something, oil IS that ability. keep that in mind when its all gone.
ps- did you know that major drug dealers in europe wont even take american dollars anymore? europe's largest bill in circulation is a €200 bill, thats worth about $260 vs the hundred dollar bill. european drug dealers are refusing american dollars to minimize the amount of physical bills in their possession. euro drug lords are refusing our money, love it.
