Happy consumers - and everlasting oil

The Oil prices are souring, as the straight of Hormuz is still choked by Iran since the US attacked on 28th. I am unable to decide who is the bigger IDIOT. Either It is the guy who wants to make weapons of massive destruction or the Guy who wants to destroy them before Even they are made. The guy Who wants to prioritize making nuclear weapons over hunger, Or the guy who is boasting about everything, from busts in the oval office to grass in the garden. But, as it happened to me, and many other happy consumers of 21st century, every price tag is taking a hike, which they have no intension to return. And WE do not like that.

Everlasting Oil

There is a saying, that if you are not in the bloodline royal family, do not even wish for the crown, inevitably you would be decapitated unless you are willing to do it to the king by your own hands. Every Mutiny will end up with destruction. Maybe some leaders of the world do not know how to keep their mouths shut and act weak and friendly with others while it is benefiting. Maybe they haven't seen how crows fight against a flock of migrating birds, and learned the lesson, Co-operation would position both parties if done correctly, and it is not a weakness, but bravery to go beyond one's inherent selfishness. It seems there are possible 200 candidate presidents in the whole world who chose war against prosperity. But who am I to judge. I am just a happy consumer of global economy. And only thing that matters to me is the crash in markets, panic sellers have created an unpredictable unpleasant chaos in my consumer sphere.

Oil doesn't flow from Gulf. Assembly lines are slowing down in China. Everything that was imported for cheap dollars that gained with "Global Credit" is rising. And I am squeezed in the budget line, like ever decaying exponential function into eternal nothingness. And its been barely 3 weeks since this new chaos, after covid. There is a queue for everything, and my car is just on the verge of dying of thirst, like a stranded man in a dessert, looking at every shed with a greedy thirsty eye. I am getting uncomfortable inside my own skin. Having climbed the hierarchal ladder of society in an accelerated phase, I do not want to go back to my old hard working, sweating young self. Rather I would bribe a couple of them to keep my consumption at a maximum level. Is this the way every consumer think??

We have seen the real motor of the economic machine is Oil. The last couple of weeks have shown us just that. With current consumption rate oil and natural gas supply will run out in 50 years. Well, I will be happy to be dead, by that time. I would be the last one smiling on the face of earth when it happens, yet I can see there is a huge dark cloud appearing around the future world. Unfortunately, I happened to create some offspring, who would face the consequences of my own selfish rate of consumption. There is a pretty good chance they have to go back to sweat for their own food, unless we or someone find solution to this energy crisis. Instead of making nuclear weapons, world leaders should act like fathers of daughters and sons of next generation to come, in every summit. They should gather and discuss about climate change, oil crisis, global debt, in finding practical solutions with experts. I am not sure what stupid game they are playing at each gathering commenting each other's shoes and nuclear powers.

Happy consumers of the future.

Meeting Happy consumers

Unfortunately, I am not there to represent my children in places where it matters. But I chose one to go to the Parliament on behalf of me, an stupid idiot of a consumer culture. Who has no eyes to see that the approaching clouds are so dark no matter how much reserve they accumulate would not last too long for their own children in a future fallen world. When all the consumers in the world go savage, everyone will fight with their neighbor for a drop of water, and saints would perish early in this war when all the Satans will be long lived.

As a happy consumer, I am willing to sacrifice my comfort for 50 more years, so our children get just enough time to solve the problems they have to face in the future and put my patriotism into a bucket with a hole. Are these idiotic politicians even know about the intensity of that intension?
