Every small drop in demand gets another pumper selling more for needed cash flow, which drives the price even lower, making more pumpers sell even more, a vicious cycle.

The religion of Patriotism has served the elites well James. <br /><br />I can't imagine what was going through the minds of the union soldiers as they were fighting and dying to hand the federal government more control over their lives? (I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that were not fighting and dying to free the slaves?)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-16422001297107819142015-12-24T09:23:57.355-08:002015-12-24T09:23:57.355-08:00“I think gas could go to $15 a gallon and there wo...“I think gas could go to $15 a gallon and there would still be way too many asswhores on the road.”<br /><br />I think so too. I recall a few years back when gas went way up, there was no shortage of jacked up, full size 4x4 's on the road as general commuters. Apparently there are still enough people out there with enough money that driving such an overkill gas guzzler is not a hardship.<br /><br />I'm the minion that's been wanting to get a scooter. It's not that I want one as much as that's all that I'm probably going to be able to afford from here on out, considering my limited employment opportunities. Of course, when being on the road with a scooter, the term asswhore takes on a far different meaning :shock:<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-53717734953251674312015-12-24T05:23:20.954-08:002015-12-24T05:23:20.954-08:00I think gas could go to $15 a gallon and there wou...I think gas could go to $15 a gallon and there would still be way too many asswhores on the road. Accelerating madly, swerving wildly, slamming on their brakes right in front of you, running reds even as the other lane starts to cross.

A seven year loan with $10 gas close by. Even if gas stays at $1.50 forever, you still need a job to afford it. Peak Oil is pointless if no one is employed, from the manufactures perspective.

We both have nice hair and big feet, along with thought channeling each other on this issue.<br /><br />I know I'm preaching to the Choir here, but for those who read the comments, I want to emphasize, we will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER be energy independent, without a drastic cut in our usage, and even then it might be wishful thinking. Even though I don't believe in the Big Oil/Auto company conspiracy to keep oil high and gas mileage low, the car companies only do what is cheapest for most profit. They balance on that fine line of customer satisfaction and profits. The government has stepped in and said you need to make your product safer and more energy efficient, because friends we as customers weren't smart enough to demand these things, because we had been sold a bill of goods as to what we NEEDED. Sarc off. They know the game though and are trying to make cars that are less dependent on the oil teet, because if they don't then they will be high and dry when their product is nearly useless because there isn't any more cheap oil.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07573699977385123625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-13869001085586560782015-12-23T08:07:13.094-08:002015-12-23T08:07:13.094-08:00So are you implying that the USA major oil compani...So are you implying that the USA major oil companies (or rather the investment banks that have the commodities market cornered for oil) are the ones who suppressed the oil price? Or is it the Islamic Extremist territories? or the banks taking advantage of the sell off by the islamic extremist territories (they ISIS type countries have to sell NOW, if they dont they wont be around tomorrow to enjoy higher prices ).JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.com
