Fuck it I honestly hope they do at this point. I'd love to see the USA corporate class knocked down a peg and brought down into the world they make everyone else live in and have to fight for scraps like we do. I'd like to see them lose all hope and chuck themselves out of windows like in the 1930s. The financialization of our economy has never left the citizenry more poor, and more than ever we have new and insidious technologies spying, listening, nudging, trying to create perfect complaint cow-like citizens. They all deserve to come down, the American business landscape is absolutely fucked and an absolute nightmare.
Sorry for the jaded cynicism about the whole thing. I'm probably just in a sour mood because I know the poor will get more untold suffering than the wealthy if it happens. There will be people starving in the streets while supermarkets put armed guards around food they throw away.

All of this has been planned in advance
They want society to collapse
Trump is just the most willing pawn
They want the return of feudalism
Scarcity is manufactured, the truth is there is enough for everyone

- The best time to decouple from fossil fuels was 1973. Today is also a very good time.
- Israel's attack on a gas field was reckless, an open provocation, and didn't serve the interests of America or the world
- You'd think Saudi Arabia has enough pull with the US Government to get this all to stop before fossil fuel infrastructure is permanently destroyed at a massive scale

Contains a probable fundamental error:
Shipping-insurance for the gulf disappeared, & will likely take months to put back in-place.
Force-majeur.
NO insurance-company, ttbomk, will willingly be on-the-hook for ANY ship moving in the region, until this's ended, & then the legal-framework would have to be recreated.
