The consequences are deliberate, not accidental or stupid

Worth reading. The consequences we are seeing today are not “accidental” or “stupid”, they are *deliberate*.
Blaming this on ‘stupidity’ is the narrative our Dear Leaders would like you to believe.
====================
“Forgive me if you’ve heard this one before.
“We are going to eliminate fossil fuel use!”
“I charge my EV using solar panels on my house, I don’t need no stinking fossil fuels.”
“We have reached peak demand and we don’t want to see any more investment in oil and gas wells.”
“We need a windfall profits tax of 21% on profits over 10% because unless you are Google, Meta, Moderna or really any other company on earth that contributes to my campaign, you aren’t allowed to make money.”
“Why are prices so high?!? You have to increase production and refining!!!”
Inflation is transitory.
The vaccine will stop COVID.
Climate change is the biggest threat of our time. It’s an emergency.
If you are like me, you are frustrated. It feels like the lunatics are running the asylum and every time someone in Washington opens their mouth, you die a little inside. What we lack is real discussion and insight into the problems, the causes, and prospective solutions.
With credit to Javier Blas in response to Joe Biden’s letter demanding refiners produce more diesel and stop making profit, I offer up what should be mandatory reading for all citizens on planet earth. …”
