The oil production industry is going all out, all over the world.


USA helped them improve their economy by buying cheap crap made in Chine/Taiwan, etc. where buying power gone actually down over the years. (this is where you kick your own .sses)
Now most Asian countries are economically just as strong hence the desire to buy cars to make the already troubling oil reserve situation even more worrysome! Don't forget to thank all the automobile companies for busting their butts promoting vehicle ownership and car driving over at Asia trying to get them to buy their cars....

One more World War (mainly a Nuclear warfare) and just as Einstein joked about, mankind is back to sticks and stones....since the fuel is almost gone back to horses and camels too!

Have a wonderful life!

PS. I personally am not worried since the spaceship that dropped me on this planet many years ago should be back to pick me up any day now!
