       Sure, I agree.   He may or may not know something everyone else doesn't.   Be that as it may, the situation on the Pipeline route through the Plains States is getting serious.   The Native Americans there are getting more and more support from outside interests.   They'll defend their land to the death.   They have nothing without the land.   Death may the only way out for them.
       I'm Native American and I know why they think this way.   I'm related to them.   This could get ugly.

       Yes, I agree, as a Native American, myself.   I'm going to try and make the point:  Unfortunately, a dozen pipelines can begin construction all at once, and then, the oil companies can see if millions upon millions of protestors complain about it.   Trump can always use the law as a weapon against protest by relying on the National Security implications of that oil coming into the CONUS.

       Before my parents passed away from old age, they bought a 40-acre 'ranch', as my Mom put it, and it already had a pipeline that crossed a creek-and-pond-combination of land features with the actual pipe crossing right over the earthen dam in front of the pond.
       It was built before they bought the place, so they had to live with the pact that the oil company had the 'easement Right-of-Way'.

And as a further point to reinforce my last post below:

       I think I said in the past that banks and goverments around the world are scrambling to keep the current world money market afloat in order to make the overall situation in terms of economic viability to look better than it really is.
       The longer this goes on, the harder the fall will probably be.
As this thread's subject entitles:
        The economy will collapse eventually, but it will happen, eventually.

       About 15-20 yrs ago, I read an article that predicted the worldwide economy would suffer a Recession and economic activity would drop to half what is was at the start.   It would then remain that way until it finally will have collapsed completely---and millions would starve--to death.
       So far, to me, the prediction is holding true.   Things aren't going to get better in San Francisco, where I live, in the near---or far---future.
       Does anyone disagree with the paragraphs above?

This topic is amusing


And Ironic because our very reason for being here
---- the search for free energy -----
Inherently causes economic collapse
When we succeed in our goals, the economy will lose.
