Thank you John for this outstanding portal to world events. I have come to rely on your analysis in addition to the excellent offerings at Automatic Earth to shape my understanding of geopolitics. As the bottom bracket spins, so does our world.

Some good stories and analysis there, doc. I vehemently disagree with the premise behind the book The Limits to Growth, published in 1972. The analysis since then has not done anything except to make claims supporting this book (which the globalists and eugenicists are using as rationale to kill us off). The fact remains that food and funds meant to go to people are wasted and stolen by corrupt leaders. There's also a large amount of food waste that happens, and also subsidies paid to NOT produce food and keep market prices higher.

With regards to energy, we have dedicated more and more energy to AI, and companies are clamoring for more. The quantity "needed" for THEIR BUSINESS PURPOSES is becoming a multiple of our own country's entire household needs.

The reality is that this world is able to adequately sustain the world's populations, if there weren't so many non-essential "needs" and far fewer examples of fraud, waste and abuse. It's our lifestyles and unquenched growth in business uses for energy that are affecting us. Poor policy regarding unsustainable "Green energy" realities and dismissal of other energy platforms (not to mention - for instance in Germany) political decisions that further undercut the availability of energy sources are further exacerbating the perception of a lack of energy.

In short, the premise of that book was purposefully shaped to promote and justify a globalist agenda and further controls on us, and increasing income opportunities for them.
