They do not want that either. It all has to be natural. Even though oil is a natural product, to them it is not natural because it has to be refined.

Whale blubber was natural too, but it was a living animal.

Wind & solar would be fine, however, wind turbines & solar panels have to be constructed also, along with batteries to store the energy. They actually eat up more resources than does energy derived from oil. They also cause more waste when they pass their use to date. No one talks about those facts. How convenient huh.

Or have sliding prices. A gallon of gas is 1/10,000th of your income. That would bring equity. Everybody has the same buying power, regardless of income. Nobody gets to consume any more or less than the next person.

Is this a commercial for socialism ?

Exactly, he didn’t even touch the problems down the line, like increased food costs.

Because Klaus Schwab assured us that we’d own nothing and be happy.

It was meant in the sense of "A Modest Proposal."

“hitting yourself in the head with a hammer is a good thing too. Right?”

It is good if it helps the revolution.
