The first ones I want to see die are the obese. Think of all the wasted gasoline hauling their fat asses from A to B. Oil closed at almost $77 today. To paraphrase Jim Morrison, I want to see "the whole shithouse go up in flames".

Oil is OVER $78.00 a barrel as we speak:

Dont head for the hills just yet. That works out to $1.857 a gallon. Hardly the price to break the average americans piggy bank. Let me know when it hits $400 a barrel, then we might see some poor people car pooling.

I post over at http://www.peakoil.com and today's events, especially with the skyrocketing price of oil, was cause for great excitement both here and there.

At the Peak Oil site, it's divided between Doomers (like myself), Landers (as in "a soft landing") and Cornucopians (there's plenty of oil forever. The Cornucopians are mostly extinct, kind of like the jews and fags who post in the Opposition forum and get worn down and brutalized. The Landers stick around and tell us Doomers that we're a bunch of sick puppies because we WANT DOOM because we hate modern civilization, and many of us admit that.

So someone over there posted this:

Well guys,

Well, should all those ideas work, you may easy get oil for $200/barrell pretty soon.
I hope, doomers will be happy.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of doomers suddenly cried out in pleasure and were suddenly silenced.

I hope the joke works here as well as it did there.

How do you figure that ?

High prices will just be a spur to innovation . Just like high wages are a spur to automation .

At some point ( where ?) high prices will choke off demand .

That's called "demand destruction." Demand destruction also means the destruction of the economy, which is fine with me. However, the transition from the current economy to whatever comes next will be a difficult one. It's unlikely that TPTB are going to bother helping out the massive glop of biomass that it created. They aren't going to do an orderly power-down. It's going to be every man for himself, or every community for itself. Bush and Cheney will be hiding out in their well stocked bunkers.

It ain't coming. The kikes will not let that happen. Amerikwa is their last stand. If it goes, the jews are done for.

Sadly, I have to agree with you. Even if there were some massive economic collapse or depression event, zog would enlist the help of other nations like China who have sunk a fortune into our dollar and are not ready to see it collapse just yet. Zog will keep things going, if ever so barely, just so that the lemmings keep going to work and paying their taxes and giving the outward appearance of stability.

Plus, the lesson of bread and circuses has been well learned by jews. As long as one paycheck can buy a 50" plasma screen tv, the vast majority of whites will stay asleep and complacent, never questioning the slow suffocating demise of the US in a meaningful way that might bring about it's reversal or publicly identify the ones responsible for it.

The number Cunningham came up with doesn't really bare on anything at the pump, but it does work out. A barrel of oil at $78 dollars is (42 gallons to a barrel of oil) $1.857 per gallon. $1.857 for whom, I don't know. I guess this represents the price of oil somewhere (maybe at the well head) in the process before it is refined without taxes and transportation cost and all the other crap costs. It is probably more of a trading abstraction than a real cost.

Last I saw, wholesale unleaded was $2.26 a gallon, then add for taxes and dealer markup will give about $2.86 .

I agree, just an abstraction with no connection to normal prices/costs .

Gasoline where Im at is $3.25 per gallon and Im less than 20 miles from a major refinery.

The price they quote in the press ($78) is the futures market price which included delivery from the middle east to a port in New York harbor. So it does have an absolute connection to the price at the pump, not now but in the future hence the term "Futures Market".

Henry Ford was blind sided by this wishful thinking, he tried to get ethanol production up and running to compete with gasoline which was more expensive at the time. Ethanol was a better cleaner fuel but it takes more labor to get it to market. When J.D. Rockefeller saw Ford was going to become a competitor in the fuel biz, all J.D. did was slash the price of the crude that sprays out of the ground at his wellhead and he brought the ethanol market to its knee's and it never recovered. The oil business will just do the same again when alternative fuels or technology erode enough market share from them.

A barrel of oil is 55 gallons

Incorrect, sir. In "oil-speak," the term barrel refers to 42 US gallons. From that 42 gallons, approximately 20 gallons of gasoline is refined.

Is Cheney betting on Economic Collapse?
By Mike Whitney
Al-Jazeerah, July 6, 2006

According to Tom Blackburn of the Palm Beach Post, Cheney has invested heavily in "a fund that specializes in short-term municipal bonds, a tax-exempt money market fund and an inflation protected securities fund. The first two hold up if interest rates rise with inflation. The third is protected against inflation."

Cheney has dumped another (estimated) $10 to $25 million in a European bond fund which tells us that he is counting on a steadily weakening dollar. So, while working class Americans are loosing ground to inflation and rising energy costs, Darth Cheney will be enhancing his wealth in "Old Europe". As Blackburn sagely notes, "Not all 'bad news' is bad for everybody."

The Bush-Cheney team has racked up another $3 trillion in debt in just 6 years. The US national debt now stands at $8.4 trillion dollars while the trade deficit has ballooned to $800 billion nearly 7% of GDP.

Thanks for catching that, It been a long time since I researched this subject, it slipped my mind.

Another funny quirk is that you can get more than 42 gallons of end product from a barrel of crude, due to cracking.

The oil business will just do the same again when alternative fuels or technology erode enough market share from them.

BINGO , YOU HIT A BULLSEYE ON THAT .

That is exactly what happen back in the early 80's when oil first went to $40/bbl. Lots of companies went into alternate energy and then the Arabs knocked oil down to $10/bbl and bankrupted all those companies. That is the same fear that is keeping companies from entering the alternate fuels business, today .
