I'm just planning to start turning wood chips into syngas.

Either stupidity and incompetence has completely taken over State/Federal officials or all of this is by design.

Useful dichtonomy: This could only happen by design or by incompetence, which means by definition, it would have to continue and get worse.

I would say its by design, incompetence would be underestimating the occupation.

Which means if it gets too hot, they'll back off and continue a few months or years down the line.

I think thats what the trucker who won the senate was (or they got lazy and didnt properly even run the senators campaign), and I think thats what youngkins election was.

I think them and people like desantis are meant to be a gimme, and I say that because the GOP followed the exact playbook they always follow: attempt to stop something, only put up a weak effort (no mandate for state employees), followed by grandstanding about big plans (outright banning federal mandates), and at last followed by them capitulating/compromising. That last part we've seen now with the GOP claiming "we dont think we're strong enough to stop woke corporate mandates." It's the slowwalk of the public back onto the occupations agenda. Thats what the GOP is, the slow-walk of the enemy.

Voting doesn't fix anything and neither do courts.

florida is all swamp and no mountains, excellent place to herd noncompliant citizens. Flat terrain is easier for the occupation to control in the event of a revolt.

I'm going to say the shortages will bring the national average to over $7-10 a gallon by mid Feb 2022.

What makes you think this? Elaborate if you can.

Gas stations+oil refineries add .20 a gallon to the margin.

50% of costs is the crude oil itself.

At $6.80 a barrel, thats

$3.40 a gallon just for the crude cost, or $142.8 a barrel. It's north of the $120 a barrel everyones predicting, so its in the seemingly correct direction. But then the last time the entire system predicted we'd smoke a hundred a barrel, we instead had a huge crash in the cost of oil.

Seasonal changes by themselves are negligible. And even at my catastrophic pricing of $6 a gallon, you're looking at something pretty close to the predicted price of a barrel of oil going into next year, which is $121.8, which aligns well with the theory that the system is gonna take a 1970s oil crash and like an artificer amplify that into the illusion of a 1930s depression.

That tells me oil companies must be going for broke with all the debt from exploration, and political bribery. Explains them signing onto the "green" deals, so thats buy-in or pay-to-play. Probably the agreement being "don't prosecute us for jacking up prices, and heres your 'green' money in exchange".

What that looks like to me is the formation of a new cartel. Actually makes sense that this would happen in the wake of OPEC and the pull out of the middle east. If china, russia, and iran control the middle east, starting with afghanistan as a foothold, the next move they will make is attempt to gain influence and control over global oil prices and put the noose around Americas neck by first undermining our oil industry with low prices. That would mean we'd probably see a precipitous drop in the cost of oil, and aligns well with other events if they want to raise the ruling regimes popularity or take pressure off the party.

Which supports the theory that the occupation and biden's regime are in bed with china.

Explains the recent pivot toward a cooling off of relations with israel. Because iran et al are obviously enemies with israel, and iran is aligned with china, so the u.s. regime doesn't want to overtly appear to be playing footsie with iran's enemy.

Also explains bringing in a boatload of "afghans".

Explains all the messaging about potential "terrorism". They know the afghans they brought in are foreign trained, probably a combination of israeli who are in bed with the u.s. military, and unhappy with the pull out from afghanistan (and want to punish the u.s.), and iranians and islamic forces who want to commit counter-terrorism against israel-assets/powerbrokers in the u.s.

And the regime has to conceded, because the israeli-dominated wing of the uniparty, the GOP (as opposed to the zionist element of the leftwing), is no longer playing ball with being the pro-war-in-the-middle-east party, despite public statements to the contrary. And they're doing this to punish the DNC for pulling out of afhganistan and handing it to china.

Afghanistan was the zionists and israeli foothold into the belly of russia, and lever the ukrainians used against them, as well as the holding-pattern needed against chinese expansionism in the middle east. So someone pulled a lynchpin on a proverbial handgrenade.

In any case the new N.America-centric oil cartel, assuming they're gorging on profit right now, and pushing prices higher, would only form such a cartel precisely if the middle east was going to see heavy investment/takeoever by the chinese.

And what are we seeing?

Afhgans, likely dealing with the chinese.

And we know its not the russians because the russians are too smart to recommit the mistakes of the soviets.

So its the chinese then.

On that note, it also means we'll probably see the creation of a boatload of jobs in the u.s. precisely as they claimed, but they'll all go to illegals, foreigners, and "minorities" anyway, because we have a caste system under the occupation. Loyalists get rewarded accordingly.

Gas will still be high, and we'll see rationing, but "essential workers", almost all imported or 'minority' will be deemed, well--"essential", and be given extra rations. Anyone calling out the fact that this disproportionately discriminates against conservatives and caucasians will simply be called a racist and unpersoned by the corprocrats e.x. banks and communications services.

To quell the moderates, and conservatives, we'll see a long serious of drawn out court battles, with many small, moderate, and a few "large" wins, but many court losses too. There will be an ever present common refrain "we'll get em next time!" And "we'll sue as much as we have to for as long as we have to!" in an almost Q-like following of jukes and counter-jukes in the legal system. They'll call it something like a "JUDICIAL civil war" or "COURT secession!" This will also be done for climate change mandates that effect property and all aspects of life, property rights, gun rights, jab mandates, "economic triage" (rationing to loyalists and punishing dissidents) censorship, and all other fronts. Naturally, they will, in effect, ignore any rulings that favor us, but the big thing will be the GOP pattern of grandstanding about saying they'll do something, making announcements, promising, making claims about what a win will mean, and casting minor wins as major victories, to pacify us for the sake of the DNC.

The new model of oppression and public steering will be the uniparty "left-right" dichotomy, but taken to the judicial system. And the new model of largess and pay-to-play will be the application of "triage" (which they already taught to the public) to "economics". The excuse will both be the constant low-level threat of covid or other diseases "surging", and climate change, backed up with reparations talk and constantly focusing on how it relates to race relations.

All this while we slide further into the abyss.
