I cant wait for shit suburbia to die. The suburbs have turned America into a lazy fat fucking race of people. It destroyed our cities from the 40s-90s. People who live in suburbia are also incredibly conservative and usually vote Republican against their own best interests due to Jesus and shit. Suburbia is hell on Earth.

this has already been quite disturbingly prophetic...!

This video is a bankster hoax, purposefully using false data to make raising their profit margins! Get away from this crap, people!

[claudius2u]

You really that dumb? I guess that's why banksters can dupe you dead heads about energy shortings by floating false "news" on their media, and scare you into paying higher prices, while in fact they have more oil on tap than ever.

Don't you look behind the shill media false "news"?

Like bankster-created famine, and drouth by interrupting weather, this world is being sacked by greedy people you stupidly believe!

if peak oil is a hoax why are they now processing shale oil and tar sands oil when before it was out of the question?

[claudius2u]

"Peak Oil " is a hoax! There's more untapped oil now than ever, and discoveries still pour in! Also, when common sense destroys oil banksters and people depart bankster paradises, aka, large metropolises, and stop dependency on others' support systems, then plenty of energy and food will be rediscovered.

banksters don't want you to know this, BTW.

So . . . you imagine the entire world is like your experience? I live 3000 miles from you, and I've lived within 75 miles of where you watch TV, suck poison soda, and gain a shape like those you condemn. The world is NOT like what this deceptive video tries to make it, but only lazy people are deceived by it.

Oh? What do you know about life on a continent you live so far from? Oh yes! And what is your lifestyle on Isle of Man? Suburban?

[Gurn92]

Err, sure American suburbia and the inefficiency of it = bad. But your account is telling me that you live in the Isle of Man in the British Isles, just saying.

sure, having oil in tarsands is better than having no oil. at least when you Really need it. say in the event of a war. You can still get it. But it doesn't make life much easier for the everyday person if oil prices reach beyond their budget. And most people cannot even get to work without cars.

The value you have vested in your home is no safer. If the economy tanks and housing prices drop, your assets are suddenly worth a whole lot less. And thats assuming you fully payed off the house and aren't mortaging it.

The problem is, cities big or small, if they have to import their food from half way across the country will have huge issues. If fuel prices go up, food prices go up and sooner or later it will get to a point where people cant even afford to feed themselves anymore.
