oil slaves
our standard of living can be defined by the number of oil slaves we command. currently we each have about 200. i'm gonna make some rather simple minded assumptions and use a very simple minded model and toss out the claim that in 15 years we're going to have only 100 oil slaves. i can't predict the absolute price of oil. but it's not relevant. the interpretation is that everyone's income will be effectively cut in half. what would your life be like if half your income went away in 2020?
