Barry Comment
What's good my homie,
I agree how cocky people can be when they have hold of wealth and how optimistic they seem when there's bad news. I feel you on your comment about how the rich are too complexed and cannot adapt as easily as the poor where as we live a more simple life where we don't need as many things as they do. Remember the time when we was playing cards upstairs white crane, Tommy did not want to listen to us at all, he just hated the bad news we was telling him and it just seemed as if life was all good. Even though we feel the same way, where was there's not much impact immenent peak oil has on our daily routined life, we are aware of what's going to happen when we run out of supplies. Its just hard for us to actually believe if peak oil is really going to happen, and dedicate our lives preparing for something not as logical. Like you said, people dont seem to believe in things that aren't "as logical" meaning not seen with their own common sense, then they wouldn't be likely to believe that this prediction is overall true. Therefore our home boy Tommy had a hard time understanding us, as well as taking the presented problem seriously.
We came upon a situation where the U.S economy would most likely drop when peak oil happens and our wealthy friend would lose a lot of his capital due to economic deflation. We stumble upon something that seemed true, to where the lost of his wealth would still insure a well life even in the age of peak oil, and this is because of the wealth he has already started. Comparing to a lowered income family, when the scenario of peak oil actually happens, they would have the least chance of surviving because of the high costs of maintaining an average living lifestyle. Costs will rise up, the poor will not be able to afford the rent to the homes they live in, or electricity. Tommy on the other hand, can still afford a decent apartment, with lighting and eat well.
