Running out of oil & being unable to afford oil are pretty much the same thing. The only difference is the scam being perpetuated that claims oil is a very limited resource (thanks to peak oil) makes it easier to just price gouge on a huge scale. Although inflation surely isn't helping out prices.
Oh yeah, having a problem affording gas (or anything else for that matter?) These guys aren't. |
Actually it's not the same thing, because if the prices of oil were to
artificially become so high that no one could afford it, companies would be forced to lower the price or forfeit profits. That's how free market economy works. If you believe that oil resources
aren't actually scarce, then simply find an independent oil supplier not involved in this scam and offering fair prices. Shouldn't be hard to do, what with oil wells on every street corner.
Also, thanks for that article. Very baleful. ''During this time when oil resources are being rapidly depleted, oil corporations are making profit. Surely a sign of global conspiracy...''
Divest: Did you literally think that the world was going to become a wasteland in a couple of years after the peaking of oil production? Do you even vaguely understand what you're talking about, or is peak oil something you read about in a MySpace chain letter?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
