The only correction is that COVID knocked the living daylights out of tourism and the government killed oil and gas drilling so we are watching the rich get paper wealth while things get worse.<br /><br />I don't think Kiwis will wait as long as the Boer did before revolts and riots. The last decent set of those was in the 1989s, and the government is I'll prepared for the nastier riots that happened in my Father's youth.<br /><br />I agree this will end badly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-21525527813537432762020-12-24T02:01:52.589-06:002020-12-24T02:01:52.589-06:00Agree with Fredrick.

If and when oil (and natural gas) run out, there is still fossil fuel enough for a couple of centuries in the form of coal, Fischer-Tropsch is able to accomplish conversion for transportation fuel. New-generation fission reactors are safe and efficient, they stand ready to be built once the regulatory environment changes. Fusion still a long shot, but maybe it works by mid-century. Solar, wind, hydro can make a contribution depending on local circumstances.<br /><br />The free market and human ingenuity are capable of meeting our energy needs for the foreseeable future.froginblenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534104165268993436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-46729308020048763392020-12-23T16:19:14.042-06:002020-12-23T16:19:14.042-06:00The fate of empires is upon us.

Once they are forced into financial equality with the poor and the illegals the rich think they'll have nothing to fear as they manipulate the social make up of the culture.

It is really only with the Enlightenment that democracy is seen as an effective form of government. And it has only been the industrial revolution based on cheap fossil fuels that society in the developed world has been affluent enough to ensure the first two.<br /><br />So are we returning to the millennia old accepted view that war is the natural state of man? Are we realizing that liberal democracy is not a viable form of government? And this is the really scary piece, have we reached peak oil and from on energy will first cost more and then become unavailable? What happens to a planet with 8 Billion people fed (marginally) by a fossil-fuel based agri-business model? <br /><br />Is the Great Reset the recognition on the part of the elites that the three characteristics that have shaped the modern world are all crashing to earth? Have Icarus' wings melted?Uncle Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11696988146701497799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-10420099032496747402020-12-23T07:49:14.720-06:002020-12-23T07:49:14.720-06:00What those who're pushing this fail to realize...What those who're pushing this fail to realize is that the rules have changed, because they themselves have changed them.<br /><br />We are moments away from the national epiphany that everything is no longer operative, and therefore civility is a bug, not a feature.<br /><br />The formerly law-abiding will simply Go Ugly Early, and start shooting those with whom there is any whiff of trouble, pro-actively, and the brighter ones will do it quietly, quickly, and unobserved, leaving no witnesses nor evidence to point to a culprit.<br /><br />The really bright ones will leave plenty of evidence, but pointing at another problem child somewhere else, and letting TPTB clean the field of a second problem, for zero risk.<br /><br />This is called win-win, and it's hilarious.<br />Don't ask me how I know.<br /><br />When the few bright (or really, half-bright) lights on the other side realize popping off signs their own death warrant, they tend to start shutting up rapidly, and equilibrium returns to the system.<br /><br />If they don't, the pace of culling accelerates, and people tend to form Committees of Vigilance, to speed equilibrium along.<br /><br />If I had pissed on and pissed off a former Marine bright enough to get into an Ivy League school, I'd be thoroughly unsurprised at the number of robberies and carjackings-gone-wrong that coincidentally will soon result in the instigators' sudden departure from the student body over the next 12-24 months, and the shocking rise in some of those people getting orthopedic surgery to their kneecaps with ball peen hammers and .22 pistols, and the number of loudmouths who suddenly have their jaws wired shut after falling into steel pipes 8-20 times one dark night, and having every tooth in their mouth broken off.<br /><br />Especially right after holiday weekends, when any number of friends on liberty from East Coast bases might happen to be in town.<br /><br />Just saying.<br /><br />Everybody wants to be gangsta until it's time to do gangsta $#!^.<br /><br />When the chips are down, don't bet against the people who already have CIBs and Combat Action Ribbons, and seen the elephant.<br /><br />Oh, and for those who committed the original transgressions against a brother, there is no statute of limitations on doling out punishment.<br /><br />It might (actually, <i>will</i>) even keep happening over and over again to the same people, a la <i>Groundhog Day</i>. For years, or for life. Even after things settle down to something like normal.<br /><br />;)<br />Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-19448908066378684102020-12-23T07:19:29.134-06:002020-12-23T07:19:29.134-06:00Those left wing college students are a fraction of...Those left wing college students are a fraction of the student population and are coddled by the left wing profs and administrators, the later are the ones needing defunding and having thier tenure eliminated.<br /><br />"Attempts at physical opposition " ... "The powers that be will not take resistance lying down."<br /><br />See the D.C. suit against BLM. That is not to hold BLM accountable for anything but to set a precedent to be used against anyone protesting, such as was done earlier in MI and VA capitals. Oh, they rigged an election too, probably did some in prior congressional and presidential elections too. <br /><br />"When enough pressure has built up in society..."<br />I don't think it will be shooting up the electric grid on trying to sabotage food delivery logistics. I do see "carjackings" of the local librarian pushing transgenderism on kids, the cheering vote riggers in Detroit, the "code enforcement" officers who punish local businesses for not getting on board with the obedience training of their fellow citizens, and even a few "home invasions" of city council and country commission members who push all this assorted crap. There are lots of counties and cities in the US and a drive by or a car jacking here or there would just be a blip on the national statistics; locally the message sent would be pretty clear. <br /><br />Once it starts the score settling will continue. It's apparent that the 'rule of law' is just a rule of obedience for the 'non-essentials' and the mask mandates and locdowns just a method to train us to obey. It won't be pretty and it certainly won't look like 1861. Other than Trump there's no one on the Right with credibility and standing enough to prevent it, or stop it once it starts. The left, they won't want to stop it until it comes after them, and they've shown they have no credibility.Fredrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574586401709392348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-27031296966015136212020-12-23T07:04:55.962-06:002020-12-23T07:04:55.962-06:00"War is a failure of politics" -Lois McM..."War is a failure of politics" -Lois McMasters Bujold sums it up.Mumbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127599495536077349noreply@blogger.com
