There's nothing quite like factory farming and hunting to demonstrate that for most humans morality is a question of convenience rather than principle. How this affliction could overtake such brilliant and useful people as the authors of this fine research paper is a sad thing.
Nonetheless, what great writing and beautiful insights on a regular basis!
The authors of this research don't have an affliction. The so called World Improvers and Do Gooders that push a moronic agenda that isn't working are the ones that lack morality and will cause the most pain and suffering.
Specifically to your comment that the "authors of this fine research paper" are overtaken with the "affliction" that "morality is a question of convenience rather than principle." In the context of Germany's long slow economic suicide due to their moronic energy choices. There's nothing moral about what the foolish politicians and policy makers in Germany have done.
I agree with that. They are insane. The world is ruled by the least among us, the least noble, the least compassionate, the least competent. The one way to "improve" the earth for real is to get rid of the elite ruling class, return to sound money and shrink all governments to the size of a pebble at the bare minimum. I like the people who run this newsletter.
Amen to your entire first paragraph. I also liked your MVO comment above. I too got in very early and very large this year on Bill's XOP call and I'm about to go even bigger.
As for your second paragraph. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and positions on this topic. However, as a very wise man once told me, "There is nothing cruel or inhumane about hunting as long as you eat what you kill."
That's cool that you're in MVO! Things which pay big dividends make waiting fun. I must be insane because I have even more gold and silver stocks. Even though some have criticized Kinross because of their purchase of great bear for supposedly "too much money", I like them a lot because of their quality and they are truly *cheap*. Price to book is 1!!
I don't understand hunting when it isn't for survival. Harming animals who are just like us makes no sense. Does the rule about hunting apply to dogs and cats? To humans? It seems to be just historic preservation going on. Really, I have no problem with anything anyone does as long as it doesn't cause any harm to life. I know there are gray areas but hunting seems to be a terrible practice. Wouldn't hunting humans be evil? I think so. Why are these fine mammals not worthy of similar treatment?
Thanks for the conversation, I'm enjoying it a lot.
My two cents added here is probably discounted nine tenths. As always Bonner & Company combine current events and sound analysis.
We all know that clean energy is the only correct way and have a million ideas how to get there.
Natural gas & nuclear are the most likely “bridge” fuels. And, unfortunately, both lack political will. Here in Texas many of us remember how cold it was last February when the power was cutoff. Me & countless other Texans were ready to string-up some politicians.
They better get this energy Stalingrad figured out. Folks here are not happy with the foolishness of DC. And, we have no problem with becoming the Lone Star State again!
We don't hear any of this from mainstream media in the USA. We need to hear this, make citizens aware of what the Climate Control folks and their politicians are preparing for us. By the way Byron King your writing is clear, explicit and poignant. Look forward to hearing more from you especially from the Energy perspective. John
They understand fully. The (I believe) 35,000 troops of the Union State of Americastan, Israel, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, and The Vanguard Group is there to enforce its policies, which is now to destroy its unincorporated territory of Germany.
MVO is yielding 11% and must increase the dividend as oil goes up in price. For the last two years its been an interesting and lucrative way to take advantage of banker manipulations (-40 dollar oil) along with hot pepper inflation. These master limited partnerships cash you up while you're waiting for all hell to break loose! I got bullish on oil with help from Rick Rule, Bill Bonner and others commentary at just the right time during the covid sell off! Viva great thinkers!
Hitler hypnotized much of the German populace with the big lie of Nazi-ism in the 1930s. The subsequent mass psychosis led to Germany's destruction. Now the big lie of anthropogenic climate change has ensnared Deutschland in another mass psychosis. I, too, fear that our dear Germans may become the poster children for another self destruction less than 100 years later.
I actually knew this was happening, but always assumed there were smarter or less insane thinkers involved that would look up and say, hey wait a minute... I guess I was wrong. Oops.
If anyone has ever read 1984 by George Orwell, then is it a surprise to shoot yourself in the foot ? The world is comprised of sheep and lions ! you decide where the majority is due to education and intellect. Basically the world has gone tech and only knows what they are exposed to and not use their facilities to think for the future ! In other words the American people are STUPID !
Yamal peninsula barely rises above 45m [asl] it has 65m deep holes from outgassing/exploding methane, below that lie immense deposits of methane. Unless the Russians can persuade someone to buy and burn it it will be released as methane into the atmosphere. Barents also has huge deposits of methane that, unless utilised, will free themselves from their clathrate confinement, are already doing so to some extent, and with increasingly warm Atlantic waters penetrating the process can only accelerate. If Germany can't be persuaded to buy this gas and make use of it perhaps the Russians should double their price and fund burining it off to no purpose except to prevent it's escape.
I love the historical allegory. Byron masterfully connects the lessons of the past with today's foibles. Well done!

What are you referring to, specifically?

I am appalled by animal cruelty nonetheless.
Good luck to you.

Good Hunting (of the investment sort) to you.

Fabulous article.
Too bad the lunatics we have in DC don't understand. Please distribute a copy of this to each and every one of them.

To what extent would Nordstream 2, if operating at full capacity, mitigate the concerns noted?
