    I just got back to the US from japan and now I’m super depressed that I have to drive 14 minutes to the nearest grocery store… Which is Walmart.

    You can easily tell from the propaganda what they want: they want us isolated, fearful and dependent on fossil fuels.

    Getting the fossil-fuel monkey off our collective backs will not only improve our health and quality of life, it’ll also drive dictators and despots out in several countries. In particular, it’ll destroy the revenue stream that funds Russia’s imperialism. It’ll also make those AI data centers non-viable, making it harder for our own local oligarchs to oppress us.

      Since US and Iran negotiations are not progressing we could be looking at total collapse of transportation. I can imagine transition to post-fossil-fuel transportation in Europe. Public transportation is already there, a lot of it based on electricity like Metro, trams, trains and electric buses. They will most likely mandate working from home and other than commuting everything is walking distance away for a lot people. In US thought? You can’t build such system in a matter of weeks or months. A lot of people will be fucked.
