I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

      Electrical, yes. Oil is a feedstock for pretty much anything you can see in your house.

      Please fertilize modern agri-business with electricity.

      I’ll wait.

      In the meantime, try the trick of flying across the Atlantic in 6 hours with batteries.

      No doubt we’ll have electricity for as long as we can, but… the underlying civilization that uses it will not look a thing like what we have now.

      Do you not already see housing supply issues, inflation, war everywhere?
