3. It fits the bill.

Goes along with my theory about the relationship between Peak Everything and what the Republicans are doing to manage our descent into a collapse while they, and their wealthy benefactors make a grab for everything they can. As long as they can maintain access to resources, energy and food, it's not a problem for them.

It's just as much about who will survive the resource shortages now, as it is abou the money and power that exploiting and screwing vast numbers of people.

We have a long emergency and a managed descent ahead.
