Battle of the Behemoths

- James Howard Kunstler -

Another mindless Kunstler rant. After preaching the end of oil for decades, Kunstler was mortified that Capitalism - even under Obama's thumb - was able to discover enough oil to make America independent well into the distant future. Yet his rants continue. You see Kunstler has a loathing for individuals controlling their own lives - whether preferring their private autos to crime ridden public transit or, in this case, choosing to live in suburbia away from crime, sanctuary cities, filth, and local big governments.

As for Walmart and Amazon, Kunstler doesn't like ANY form of free enterprise - especially the ones that lower costs, speed delivery. I guess he prefers the government food lines of Venezuela, or the former Soviet Union. I'm old enough to recall khrushchev's visit to America in the '60s. They took him to a modern grocery store, one found everywhere in the suburbia Kunstler hates. The Soviet dictator was astounded, thought it fake....until he was forced to realize such stores were ubiquitous in our....suburbia.

I think Kunstler thinks he knows what's best for you or me, and that he'd love the force of government to back him. I suspect he mumbles these words to himself as he drifts off to sleep at night, "I'll tell 'em what to eat and where to shit!!!!"

What we’re seeing is more like the battle between Godzi... Read More
