European Tribune - Countdown to $100 oil (49) - peak oil and libertarians
And if people were really obsessed with oil (they are not) then eventually all 7 billion people will be in the oil industry and a lot of oil will be found.

Maybe if they stopped masturbating with Adam Smith's invisible hand they'd start to understand that even if they don't believe in physical reality, physical reality still believes in them, and is going to come knocking on their door whether they're ready for it or not.

Idiots. I hope they get wiped out in the crash. (Not in a nasty way. More in a being forced to grow vegetables and deal with their own crap kind of a way.)

Right, as if these clowns would have a clue as to how to grow vegetables.  I've generally found that these idiots haven't worked a day in their lives.  Most Misesians I've met have been trust-fund babies.  (Not that I'm God's gift to hard work, granted.)  Why do you think they're all about bringing the Mexicans in to pick their lettuce for them (and then, strangely, all about bashing illegal immigrants)?

You've gotta admit, though:  The bit on lots of oil being found if people were sufficiently obsessed is quite funny.

I'm sure that they would equally complain if the six billion people who at the moment aren't that interested in oil decided that having found it they wanted to keep their share. ;-)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Yes, and I'm sure it would be all Hillary's fault, of course.
