You don't understand, the government only reports unemployment that makes itself look good, it's been shifting real unemployment from one category to another and under-reporting on people who've given up on finding jobs. Now let me explain how unemployment is so high that we're actually in a Great Depression and the only salvation is Lyndon LaRouche

He has a long history of saying whatever the gently caress he wants regardless of the rest of the network's narrative. When I get my annual dose of Fox by visiting my parent's place he's probably the only guy on the network that doesn't make me cringe on sight.

Just out of curiosity, is there a situation in which "states rights" are actually a good thing? I may be relying on biased sources that only invoke that phrase to defend some heinous poo poo.

He's also a maladjusted, racist, wife-beating putz.

Looks like giant-bama left a little something else there too. Now, here's something really fun. I just found this guy Yonatin Frimer who does political cartoon mazes. It's like the best (worst) of the editorial page meets those kids pages some papers put out weekly.      Gives new meaning to the phrase "get me the hell out of this terrible political cartoon" doesn't it

Shepard Smith is just another spokesperson for FOX but sometimes something is so horrifically poo poo that his programming malfunctions. He went off the cuff when Katrina hit, going totally off-script and saying things were terrible and that people were suffering, contrary to the narrative of Most Prestigious Leader Prez. Have another measles comic, IT IS A GOOD PAIN:

alnilam posted:The world's oil is not going to dry up that soon, but it may become significantly more expensive. No offense, but people have been saying "any day now" about peak oil since the 50s. It almost definitely will dry up to the point where we'll be scrounging it out of the arctic or making it out of coal within 50-100 years unless current use trends change radically (which admittedly they might, I mean ITER might work and that would be rad). People were saying "any day now" since the 50's because there wasn't much actual research put into it until recently, and our ability to find untapped oil reserves has gotten dramatically better as well so we can factor those in to modern predictions. Now we can state with pretty good confidence that peak oil has either already happened or will happen within 20 years, depending on which definition you use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predicting_the_timing_of_peak_oil posted:There is a general consensus between industry leaders and analysts that world oil production will peak between 2010 and 2030, with a significant chance that the peak will occur before 2020. Dates after 2030 are considered implausible The "US Energy Information Association" says that it will never peak even out past 2040, but they include predicted biofuel growth, natural gas and other things which are more reasonable.

"Peak" oil is very different from "the world's oil drying up," though. Plus, what peak oil is depends a lot on what metrics you use. At what price/barrel? Are we talking in terms of proved reserves? (in which case peak oil is probably soon or behind us us). In terms of technically recoverable? Maybe not. What about technically irrecoverable resources becoming recoverable with changing technology? A large part of the reason people said any day now about peak oil in past decades, was that technology for recovery at the time made "technically recoverable" a much higher bar. For the extraction tech they knew, peak oil may well have been in the 20th century.

A large part of the reason people said any day now about peak oil in past decades, was that technology for recovery at the time made "technically recoverable" a much higher bar. For the extraction tech they knew, peak oil may well have been in the 20th century. Yeah, the article I referenced goes over technically recoverable etc, lumps them into "Unconventional Sources" and goes on to say "Unconventional oil is not currently predicted to meet the expected shortfall even in a best-case scenario.[1] For unconventional oil to fill the gap without "potentially serious impacts on the global economy", oil production would have to remain stable after its peak, until 2035 at the earliest." And yes, at peak oil we're not out, but since usage probably won't go down for some time after that (90% of the US's transportation is still based on oil, we're not going to swap out every engine overnight, China and India are still exploding, etc) the amount of time it will take us to burn through the remaining oil supplies will wind up being way, way shorter than the time it took us to get to the peak. I do admit that I believe we'll be able to shift off oil onto something better like hydrogen or methane before we completely tap out all the supplies but since it only took us ~150 years to go from zero to peak, and most of that time was spent with demand at less than 10% of the levels we see today, I don't think it's unreasonable to predict that we'll run out of useful oil within 50-100 years even if we develop renewables and the price per barrel skyrockets. Is there an energy thread? I'd be interested in seeing other people's viewpoints on this matter like yours alnilam without making GBS threads up the polititoons thread more than I already have. I guess I could take it to the climate change thread...
