I surely haven't felt any empathy for him as I've watched Tesla’s stock free fall...

What's even the point of this administration?

I agree. The problem is not all the resources but control. With renewables, public transportation, bicycles, and plant based diets, we could sustain everyone without manufactured scarcity. But that is vilified as socialism, as if that is a bad thing. The means exist, but the system keeps a few in control even at the cost of collapse.

I trust you, 96 Toyota Camry enthusiast.

Water, land, energy, and key minerals are all becoming more contested. Water scarcity is getting worse. Farmland is drying up. The energy transition depends on materials controlled by a few countries. Even with food, current production is wrecking the environment, creating dead zones, killing fisheries, and making future yields worse. Raising prices only goes so far when nations start taking what they need.

I truly believe that the geopolitical tensions we're witnessing today are largely a response to what nations see on the horizon from a climate standpoint. As resource scarcity becomes inevitable, countries are maneuvering to secure their positions ahead of the coming resource wars.
