There is a very specific type of person that works in the oil industry in texas , they buy the biggest most expensive gas guzzling truck, they work too many hours, drink heavily and often do hard drugs , and they overleverage themselves to the max always , when the economy takes a shit they lose everything and end up broken and pissed off. Then the oil bust works its way through the rest of the texas economy and its like the great depression. I grew up as kid through the 80s depression in texas and it was rough shit. I dont know how people would handle it these days. Ive seen mini busts along the way when this or that oil patch taps out and the people in the area just lose everything. As a kid i remember being around gaunt adults that were slowly starving with no jobs paying above minimum wage and those even nearly impossible to get. Texas isnt known for its compassion for poor people.
I think if the world decided it necessary they could probably manage to get venezuela oil pumping again and that would give the world another stretch of plateau. wouldnt be surprised if that 2018 peak was the real deal final peak though.
If the left actually took an anti immigration stance the right would start fading . If the left had a “take care of the people already here first goal”
Lots of left wing people are sane enough to recognize labor competition from immigrants and poor cultural assimilation leads to lower standard of living for them and their children. As long as this continues and things get worse you will be feeding the growth of the right wing. people will vote for survival and standard of living even though they loathe most everything else about the right
Leishmaniasis is now happening in the USA in my location. The tropical diseases are here but we still get occasional hard frost enough to kill the tropical fruit trees and not enough chill hours to make temperate fruit work. Worst of all worlds.
EDIT forgot to mention im in texas
I figured something like this would happen. I wonder if the nuke plants that got shuttered for the same cost reasons will also get subsidies

Your argument that overconsumption is the culprit but not population doesn’t make sense when the equation is (Population X Consumption)= Environmental impact.
There is no consumption without the population.
And virtually all the published everything about overpopulation is fully onboard that first world consumption needs to come down and 3rd world needs to go up to be fair.
Why does everyone think talking about overpopulation means you are hitler looking for lebensraum?
