Thank You America

 

1. Drew I remember the 70’s oil crisis and I despised the sand nits for shafting us. Yet we continue to this day to hand our wealth to them. I don’t get it. Why is it we can see this yet our “leaders” can’t? Are we missing something?

3. I can solve the “energy crisis” in an hour. It’s easy. All it takes is willpower.

   Dear OPEC:
   Tomorrow morning, and for the next 2 years, oil will sell for $28/barrel. Or we will kill you, utterly. Your civilization will cease to exist. You will continue to pump just as much. Or we will kill you, utterly. You are now hostage to the entire world.

   All oil futures contracts are now void, the world over. Because I said so. Oil will remain off the commodities market for the next year. Because I said so. After that, oil futures will be sold in 6 month increments, but the price will not be allowed to increase or decrease more than 5% annually. The price of oil will be adjusted only once every six months. Any company, country, or individual circumventing this process will be exterminated. Utterly. All nations shall retain the right to sell oil to their own companies and citizens for whatever price they choose, but any oil sold on the international market will adhere to my ruling.

   Signed, W Leader of the Entire World.

   PS - we have more nukes, bombs, missiles, ships, tanks, cannons, shells, bio, poison, and space weapons than you do. More than all of you put together. Plus a bigger army that has lots of experience and is just itching to kill somebody. Don’t even think about tempting fate, because you don’t have any. Because I said so.

   Ta da! Solved. That was easy.

   But long term we will still have to get our heads out of our asses and start finding and making our own supplies. And we have to get into a wartime mindset to stop wasting what we do have.

4. Drew, your last paragraph is exactly what needs to happen.  Use our own, and quit the excesses.  The generation that lived through the 1930’s and ‘40’s had some good lessons for the rest of us.  Use what you have, take care of it, fix it when it breaks, buy a good one the first time, more is not always better, and debt is a bad thing.  It’s amazing the things that get forgotten over time.
