2008-07-15 12:46:00 -By Warner Todd Huston We are reminded here on the blog that there is one aspect of the lie that is the Employee Free Choice Act bill that isn’t much discussed.

One-Third of Gloal Coral Reefs Facing Extinction
2008-07-13 00:35:00 I really wonder what it is going to take to wake this world up from it’s apathy and slumber.

Where We?re Really At
2008-07-07 20:44:00 Nice rant by Kunstler - Where We’re At. He’s covered most of the topics, except the serious food crisis underway, shortages of critical metals and the other two biggies, collapsing eco-systems and climate change. It’s way, way more then a double-whammy headed our way, it’s a pummeling by a gang of enraged bullies and all of their ...

2008-06-26 12:53:00 It has often been said that, if the human species fails to make a go of it here on the Earth, some other species will take over the running. In the sense of developing intelligence this is not correct. We have or soon will have, exhausted the necessary physical prerequisites so far as this planet ...
Utilities Shut Off Middle America
2008-06-25 13:02:00 A sure sign of collapse: Electricity and natural gas shutoffs are up at least 15% in several states compared with last year. Totals for some utilities have more than doubled. “We’re seeing a record number of shutoffs,” says Mark Wolfe, head of the National Energy Assistance Directors’ Association, which represents programs that subsidize energy bills. An NEADA survey ...
Peak Phosphorous Too!
2008-06-24 11:01:00 Phosphorous may not seem like “much”, but it is a critical element used in many different products, including food production. A global phosphorous battle may be “on” now, as prices have risen 700% in the past 14 months. ?Peak phosphorus?, say scientists, could hit the world in just 30 years. Crop-based biofuels, whose production methods and ...

2008-06-24 00:00:00 This might be remembered as one of America’s first food riots: Scuffles began breaking out around 7 a.m. with people shoving, pushing, and taking a door off its hinges, bringing police in dozens of cars, authorities said.

We have “innocently” accommodated rising population with greater and greater food production via technology and the profit motive. But now we have ...

Riots!

Planetary Collapse = Death By Paralysis
2008-06-17 14:47:00 So this is my dilemma, and my paralysis. It’s not every day you get to spectate the real-time collapse of a planetary civilization and biosphere. (Or, I suppose I should say, I remember a time when it wasn’t.) But watching this unfold with fascination feels complicit and worse than if I were blithely ignorant, and ...
American Aristocrats Among The Most Clueless
2008-06-12 11:52:00 More stupidity hard at work: In Beverly Hills, a 32,000-square-foot beaux-arts mansion that will be sheathed in Portuguese limestone and adorned with gold-plated doorknobs fashioned in France is rising on Sunset Boulevard.

Oil Companies set to collapse in India
2008-06-04 08:52:00 The Indian Government has decided not to increase the rates of petrol and gas in the country in order to bring them more in line with the prevailing international market rates.This is a Government that is concerned more with its own political survival than the health of the nation's economy!It has only marginally increased the rates of petrol and gas.The rich will continue to zip around in cars and SUVs.The net effect will be that the Oil Companies, once the toast of Corporate India, will be committing whosesale suicide.Then what happens seems to apparently not concern the Indian Govt.All those who have invested in the Stocks of Oild companies, including Reliance Oil, are going to suffer.Their investments wsill be wiped away.We'll be seeing a lot of Stock market failures soon.Poor Oil Companies.Poor India.
Cap and trade, freedom, and the collapse of our nation.
2008-06-04 04:23:00 America is in danger of collapse and I don’t say this lightly. I have believed in the exceptionalism of America for as long as I could understand what that meant. Five years ago, I would have told you that our economy will recover, that times will get better, and that freedom will prevail, but now I ...

Is this what would have happened if the collapse was earlier
2008-06-02 19:58:00 There's an old baseball adage that says a team isn't as good as it looks during a winning streak or as bad as it looks during a slump. But as a fan we're on the roller coaster with "our" team and can't sit on the side to watch the ride. Less then two weeks ago the Mets looked like a last place team, Willie Randolph's job was on the line and there was plenty of speculation about what was wrong with the team. Getting mowed down by the Braves and Rockies was strikingly familiar to what is now called "the collapse of 07". The offense struggled, the defense made costly errors and the pitchers gave up critical runs. Suddenly all-star caliber players were playing like guys who belonged in the minors and no one appeared able to motivate this team to win. The Mets have contended that all teams slump and that if the collapse had happened earlier in the year they would have had time to rebound. Well if the current winning streak is any indication of their resilience then maybe they are ri...

New York City Crane Collapse
2008-05-30 17:22:00 This couldn't be more frustrating. Why is there a crane collapse here every other month? This is horrible. As of now, one construction worker is dead and two are very seriously injured. This site had several violations against it, some serious, yet it still was able to continue operating. Construction sites shouldn't be able to operate until those violations that are against it are fixed. I hope it was worth it to those that didn't make the changes. Now one person as of now is dead and two are injured, but hey there's money to be made so what does it matter right? Well it happens to matter to the people who were involved in this. The top snapped off of the crane and smashed into the building across the street. Can you imagine the fear that these poor construction workers and the people in the building had? How is this right at all that this can happen? Even walking by construction sites in the city, I try to go as far away from it as possible when walking past. I shouldn't have...
