The US is one of the best-endowed nations in the world, from a natural resource perspective. It is also one of the least densely-populated. It has superior farmland, oil and every kind of mineral needed for industry. And yet it is a font of apocalyptic strategizing closely mirroring scenarios imagined by dystopian science fiction authors starting with HG Wells, over a century ago, in his novel The Time Machine (Elois vs Morlocks). Talk about irony. Still, it was Australia, the Lucky Country, that came up with Mad Max, Mel Gibson’s star-making role.

"The US is one of the best-endowed nations in the world, from a natural resource perspective. It is also one of the least densely-populated. It has superior farmland, oil and every kind of mineral needed for industry."

The regulations, laws, ordinances, fees and taxes against producing or building anything on rural private property are monstrous. Those were brought by big corporations, local officials and their retired NIMBY friends against any potential, new competition from technically inclined, working class families.

The big shots long ago decided that some manufacturing would be done way over there, in another country. Certain agriculture would be done in another country yet, and so on. The plutocrats have done their "master planning" around the world and against the many peoples that they believe that they own.

"And yet it is a font of apocalyptic strategizing closely mirroring scenarios imagined by dystopian science fiction authors starting with HG Wells, over a century ago, in his novel The Time Machine (Elois vs Morlocks). Talk about irony."

And now, you know why.

"Still, it was Australia, the Lucky Country, that came up with Mad Max, Mel Gibson’s star-making role."

Notice the queer characters. That was obviously a queer movie.
