Anyone here worried about how governments dependencies on oil causes the to make major sacrifices?

whats a sacrifice

idk, i guess Iran deal one example

letting imports of oil be used as leverage

one man's sacrifice is another man's opportunity

U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia

Europe involvement for building a pipeline

Well, we certainly don't owe any country any loyalty when it comes to spending. We'll choose our economic allies as we see fit.

still our need for oil is a weakness

can be used as leverage

Its just like any other object we rely on. No different than our trade agreements with China and other third world exporter that make things cheaper for us here. We can't go back.

what?

can't go back to what?

the whole quality american made stuff, or euro made stuff. its just luxury items at this point. our economy is built on the back of 99c store items shipped from China and India

Thats a weakness too.

I don't think as big of a weakness

However even there

automation can help alleviate that dependence

I happen to think so. We have oil reserves and can import it from other countries though it would be more expensive than the middle east. But if the goods countries seized production or conglomerated against us (which won't really happen, just using it as an example) we'd be hurt more I think.

I guess I was thinking more of that it is easier to reduce dependency on oil than it is other goods.

Its not really the automation but the scale and resources needed

Hey

Eh, they've been saying its easy to curtail oil usage for 20 years or so now. We;ve had all sorts of bubbles and nothings stuck

solar almost got there if it werent for the crash but maybe that's just something to blame it on. maybe it wasn't going anywher

it was certainly expensive.

I like nuclear

Me too

Interesting

alright now that Alex Jones is banned. How long until Tim Pool is banned from youtube?

I don't think he would be booted until after many others
