Attempting get back on topic: In the big picture it seems the normal ebb and flow of market forces is getting verbally amped up and ‘over-leveraged’ by non economic political and social forces so much to the point that it’s hard to discern what’s actually true anymore.
I expected the economy to become more unstable as we transitioned from fossil fuels to closed-loop systems that diversified and decentralized and distributed energy production to locals. Most of the funding for culture wars starts in the out-of-date offices of energy producers. I think much of what we see is the dying gasps of this industry attempting to hold on to energy and power.
The shift is absolutely inevitable. People want what is cheaper and better. We will alwas have oil & gas production, but as they lose their lead they will lose their political relevance. Then we have a chance that the people will actually get what they want our of government.
You make a couple of excellent points. There is no logic to the "big lie." Gore could not deem himself President. Neither can KamalaHarris. And Pence could not either. It is not up to one person.
