My only quibble is with your use of the US ruling class meme of what happened to Russia in the 90s, when they destroyed the USSR and turned their economy over to US "experts", like Summers and Reich. You correctly point out that millions died. Then you used the meme that "life expectancy dropped",which is the way that the corporate media refers to the millions dead. If millions died from the plague, would you call that "a drop in life expectancy"? I agree that we could deal with peak oil and global warming as a society, in a rational way, if our government were not controlled by the 1%. Doesn't look like we will, though. wagelaborerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115736967725316875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813525365834911757.post-51298446841942494552014-03-28T22:05:03.766-05:002014-03-28T22:05:03.766-05:00"authoritarian capitalism" You need to r..."authoritarian capitalism" You need to read Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536350631530670818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813525365834911757.post-77888111869006071322013-04-07T20:22:55.137-05:002013-04-07T20:22:55.137-05:00Curiously I wrote a blog on Roman as a metaphor/hi...Curiously I wrote a blog on Roman as a metaphor/history repeating itself.

With these combined *mutually reinforcing* problems occurring at an increasing rate what we are experiencing now will seem like Disneyworld in one generation, the data bares this out and when considered and appreciated properly, the facts reveal your above analysis to be naive and self comforting...

The gradual decline has been going on since 2005. There have been many small (and large) businesses which have been going away. I have noticed many empty strip malls in larger cities and small towns. I feel small towns have been hit especially hard. Several companies which were doing well in small towns around where I live in Central MN are now gone. I did sewing for several boat manufacturing companies. Two of those are gone. The third one is down to bare bones. There are many more people visiting the food shelves. I never used to see homeless people in small towns. Sadly, I see many more of them now. Personally, my husband has been laid off several good paying jobs. We lost our home and had to file for bankruptcy. We now rent and live a very modest lifestyle in the country. Even though there have been several promising things happening, there are still many more which remain stagnant or are failing. It is worth watching and keeping common sense in mind with all of this. Look around you, wherever you live. Take note of the conditions of people around you. This is the true indicator of the state of the Economy.Shawnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186411350587090723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813525365834911757.post-66297077046991626262012-05-14T06:28:59.520-05:002012-05-14T06:28:59.520-05:00China supplies "Vital Human supplies"?

What are the ratios? Say kgs of protein per capita per annum maybe. Don't know, do ya? What does that mean "negative feedbacks of oil's decreasing energy return"? As oil becomes more expensive, the $$ /barrel will increase, oil will go to the industries where it is most needed, carpooling will become more attractive, and the equations that govern "just in time" processes will provide the economies of scale they are supposed to provide. And "we will fall much, much faster" is still as meaningless as how you began: no fit ratios and absolutely no quantification for what "much, much" means. Are you adding muches? Squaring them? Multiplying them?

Socialists can't do the arithmetic to know where scarce resources should be applied to identify and satisfy the most urgent needs of consumers. What, socialism's central planners is the proper ratio of acreage to plant in corn from which to produce ethanol relative to the acreage to use for domestic food to the acreage necessary for export to other countries? Well, by God, they just won't know. They won't even know how many board-feet of wood to set aside to manufacture pencils which they will have to stick behind their ears, which is where they'll stick them 'cause they showy won't need them for ciphering.Bighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129807450490694344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813525365834911757.post-25642092955040430292012-05-12T18:29:00.133-05:002012-05-12T18:29:00.133-05:00Great post?

The official report lies about the correct numerals and also politican like Ursel von der Laien, our employment minister.<br />Also we have much workers which containing very little money for there work, they must take 2 or 3 jobs....than we have such called 1€ jobs, this workers became 1€ the our for there work. They are most unemployed and became public money and have to do this 1€ jobs, if they dont do this, they didnt become further the publik money.Than we have much low wages jobs in germany as well...our realy jobless count totals more than 10 Million people!<br />Our population also manipulates by mainstream media as TV, and many of them look much TV.<br /><br />I also can confirm that most of our population thought, everything is normal, they dont notice much of differences to previous. Our school system isnt that good as previous, the elite school maybe, but not that of worker man. Much of school are in ruinous condition, many youth constitutions were closed because of lack of money.<br />Our life will be continual expensiver...we also have in germany soup kitchens, donate clothes for poor people, homeless people etc. maybe not as worse like usa or greece, spain..but this big problems we didnt have in the 1990. Our problems in germany bigger than much know, because if they have a job everything is ok for them.<br />This above report is very good, and if american's thought things in germany are very good...and germany could fix easily europes fiscal woes, that maybe say you your mainstream media. Of course many germans entrepreneur profit from this "crisis" and make much money with this...and many of them have many to do with manufacture freight. And many buisiness germans are very wealthy, but most of germans didnt wealthy of this "boom".its propaganda most.<br /><br />We have much of citizen, as me, which are poor....i became in month a premature pension from 420€ per month, thats very, very less. A simple worker earns more than 1000 € per month, many much more than that. A workless became 375€ per month, ok he becames also a apartment payed by public, but nothing that is luxury, its only were he can live and sleep, not more. And view for work isnt very good in germany, not for ja job which is good payed and sure for longer time.<br /><br />So, many problems and a slowly collaps also here in Germany....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813525365834911757.post-2220090423142925292012-05-04T12:44:46.886-05:002012-05-04T12:44:46.886-05:00@Robert
