- It IS the OIL stupid.

Since we all live in the FSoA/GWN, our per capita energy consumption hit peak in the 70's, and it's been eroding ever since, from all sources. This in large part is due to immigration and population expansion here. Thus the stagnation in wages and standard of living.

Here's the story in a nutshell

Reason we have so many people wanting to immigrate is things are worse everywhere else, and now that the total global consumption is going down, it's going from bad to worse. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
