If you think this is a “crisis”, I’d hate to see how you act when the sh*t really hit the fan. Currently, we have a series of price increases due to increased demand for energy. This could be remedied by increased production of present energy sources and by switching to different energy sources, that is, more oil drilling and building more nuclear power plants, wind power, solar power, etc. The main problems are the expense of adapting new technology and, as always, government interference in the marketplace.
“If you think this is a “crisis”, I’d hate to see how you act when the sh*t really hit the fan.”
But it is hitting the fan.
Here in Panama, prices are racing upwards at a tremendous rate.
While I am not going to suffer from hunger, the folks who are just getting by with a few hundred dollars a month are becoming desperate.
This is not only an U.S. problem, it has become global.
Why do I mention Panama?
Because a lot of food is imported from the U.S.
Also, the price of grain has jumped. Bread and other basic foods have jumped in price because of this alternative fuel crap which in the end rots out the car engine.
There is a group of people who are getting rich off this ugly joke that is why it will continue.
Please, don’t read into it, what is not there or intended to be there. Crisis is a long way from catastrophe. The sky is not falling, and we are not all doomed.
But, by any definition of the word, we are in a crisis.
Certainly, our quality of life is affected, do you agree?
