Walz should pardon them.

Lol.

To be fair they’re doing the same thing in their own country, so.

China would go to war to protect their energy supply. If the US and Russia+Saudi team up its game on. Looks what’s happening now…

Oh they do. This is them taking that fear seriously and consolidating control.

Look it’s me, a farmer.

US and Russia and OPEC (whoever refuses gets liberated) create a true oil and gas cartel, EU capitulates. China can’t compete with US+USSR. This is 100% the strategy in play right now.

Don’t be evil.

I mean in a way it’s true. Just not clear lethal for whom.

All of the chatter about the system failing seems to presuppose that that is a bad thing. More independent, decentralized, robust local economies and communities is a good thing. If that happens to stem from racism and neglect, it doesn’t invalidate a good idea. Would it be better to have a better system that was more inclusive and supported all people? Probably. But realistically our industrial system isn’t something to mourn. Replacing it would be great.

Fungible, portable, valuable. Gold isn’t a scam, as far as the concept of wealth and hierarchy isn’t a scam.

There’s plenty of other good forums online. This one is pretty good, maybe better than reddit if a little less busy. Sounds like you’re having a rough time. But there’s always new things to experience and it sounds like deep down you want to continue the weird experience that is life on this planet. Keep exploring!

Damn that sucks. This was going to be a really big win for right to repair.

Biggest loser. And apparently only gives third rate blow jobs.
