i think there will be gas available, but critical dependence on it will jack up the price beyond what many may be willing or able to pay.

if it were a normal country there would be a crash program for supporting transitions to remote work where possible and some major public investments in transportation/electrification infrastructure where remote work is not possible to try and soften the blow by shifting as much low hanging fruit from petroleum dependency. it would still be a total shit show, but the foundation for a transition would be there and maybe the underlying infrastructure of society (schools, hospitals, logistics) could be kept above water as things are reoriented.

but i am fairly sure there will be none of that and the decision makers are going to ride the dragon directly into the wall at top speed to ensure a crisis allowing the largest capital formations yo hoover up more critical assets for pennies on the dollar.

no, the poor people in asia will

Figures I am finally taking a better angle on my life, eating better, doing therapy and everything goes to shit.

Super El Niño (should it be called El Hombre?)

some guys at a government agency called NOAA, what do these guys even do, NOAA? anyway they told me there's a bad hombre headed our way and you know i don't like the sound of that, so you know what happened? i cut their funding by 10 billion dollars and gave it straight to ICE, that'll show the eggheads what happens when you let bad hombres into our big beautiful country

usians about to find out how bad of an idea suburbs are.

if the U.S. figures out a way to mine methane from bullshit, it'll become self sustainable for an eon.

There's enough obnoxiously juicy farts from congress everytime they speak to keep us afloat anyway.

The US remains a net exporter of oil. They are the largest producer of oil, accounting for something like a fifth of oil produced annually. The US is not running out of oil because of this.

The issue is not that the USian citizen is going to actually turn on the nozzles and air comes out, the issue is price.

and the proms tomorrow!

If it was a functioning country, no definitely not. With these prices long term, we have fracking, which takes a long time to start up. We will just destroy the shit out of North Dakota, and gas will be fairly expensive, not apocalyptically expensive.

But it's not a functioning country so it's anybody's call.

Extremely funny that the timing lines up with the 250th anniversary of this kursed kountry

Edit: Also don't forget private credit collapsing and probably some water crises in the southwestern states.
