Another story. After the government shutdown of 2018-2019, I told everyone close to me that shortages were coming. Buy and stock up on anything essential that has a long shelf-life (clothing, equipment, materials, toilet paper, etc.). For a solid year, nothing happened. Once the lockdowns hit, a lot of those people suffered for lack of preps and savings.

Here are some things that were scarce at the beginning of the summer:

This is the point in history that everyone discovers everything is made of oil, though it was on the cover of Time, long ago.

Despite all the talk and thrashing around, CO2 levels, as measured at Mauna Loa, continue to increase every year, EVEN in 2020 when so much was shut down, and again this year. Finally and worst of all, we have human nature to deal with. At this point, NOTHING can "save the world." The only realistic question is when collapse and dieback begin.

Maybe the supply line Xmas hype is to get stuff sold before we slip into it too. It's hard to figure out what's going on, but 1/3 higher energy prices can't be good for the economy.

I'm wondering if that's a pleasant world to live in. Where all the fools suffer and you motor along happily.

Well, it was a conditional, the condition being folks refusing to recognize the value of alternative sources of fuels, to perpetuate their happy motoring through the horrors of an upcoming one or more new peak oils. You can imagine their terror, based on the peak oil dogma as it was written.mousepad wrote:Do you think you will motoring for long in such a scenario?
Sure. Said fools, upon being confronted with the consequences of their poor choices (and seeing those who made a superior choice continuing to happily motor along), will make better choices. Or choose to walk or bicycle perhaps, but for First Worlders, making that substantial a step backwards is probably anathema.

You forgot the emotional option where they decided you cheated somehow, they riot and burn down your garage and possibly your house as an act of revenge. Look at the 2020 riots, most of those attacked and burned out were neighbors of those doing the attacking and burning.
