Oh come on. What, you think I'm as stupid as common website sycophanats or spend my time half whacked on weed? The definition was "human population", not some slightly larger than normal contagion.
"The Black Death (roughly 1347–1352) caused a massive decrease in human population, killing an estimated 30% to 50% of Europe's population. Global population plummeted from around 470 million to 370 million by 1400, marking the largest demographic shock and the only significant, direct reduction in global population since A.D. 1000😌"
Covid was the global equivalent of a sneeze.

If they do, Trump might get his penis bit again.

Girl, 13, claimed she bit Trump's penis during oral rape, according to Epstein Files email
U.S. President Donald Trump was accused of sexually assaulting an underage girl in an email exchange released by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of the Epstein files today.
No power plants in Iran means no water for millions of people. But as usual Trump does not give two fucks.

Collapse comes before the dead bodies. When there are dead bodies things have already collapsed.
Depends on the definition used obviously. Collapse comes with the bodies. Faux collapse is the kind without the body count, just people wanting to classify a disruption in the norm as collapse. That allows the collapse game to just keep on roling. Collapse comes in forms of severity. It has to be severe enough to have a body count.
CoPilot say:
Collapse refers to a profound and sustained breakdown of a society's essential systems—such as governance, economy, infrastructure, and cultural institutions—in which the disruption is so severe that it is accompanied by a large and lasting decrease in the human population.

As Americans we can never know because the numbers and definitions defining it are decided by the deciders and deliberately designed to obfuscate reality from the average guy.An EXCELLENT turn of phrase. With one change, it ABSOLUTELY fits what I've been watching for more than 20 years now.
What is going on with peak oil. As Americans we can never know because the numbers and definitions defining it are decided by the deciders and deliberately designed to obfuscate reality from the average guy.
Quote from: K-DogRumor has it the current number is exceptionally divorced from reality.
And the conclusion on the other topic was certainly the same.

Peak oil / Cuba's electric grid collapses...
Last post by K-Dog - Mar 21, 2026, 03:53 PMLife is defined by scarcity. Daily rolling blackouts affect the entire country, and fuel shortages make basic transportation unaffordable. At a major Havana hospital, he interviews a surgeon earning $17 a month, and sees buildings in disrepair because the U.S. blockade even restricts the chemicals needed for paint.
Despite these hardships, Hassan emphasizes the spirit of the Cuban people. Instead of despair, he observes a vibrancy and resiliency, with locals "partying in the streets." Holding block parties, and maintaining an unbreakable "vibe" in the face of the economic crisis imposed by U.S. policy. Hassan thinks it is an island thing in part. I'll say unsullied humanity is the rest.
No oil , and Americans have robbed Cubans of a decent life. Still they live.

What Trump started. But for Trump this would not be happening, and that building would still be standing.
