How will we go on as a nation when the price of gas goes to ten dollars..

Life as we know it will not be at all the same.. Are you prepared for this huge change? Can we adapt? What will be the outcome? I heard a report that by the end of this year this will be a reality for us all

After a bit, we’re going to run out of oil altogether, and sadly, 90 % of Earth’s population will most likely die. There’s no point getting upset that govt isn’t preparing for it…. they don’t want to admit it.
The shipping industry? :P FOOD production relies on oil.

People in Rural areas will probably have to go back to big gardens and canning food. People in City’s will suffer the most and will have to start relying on local farms to get produce I don’t know how big city’s like NY will be able to make out.

We’ll all have to become farmers. Seriously. Raise our own food.

OK realistically we cant all become overnight farmers..But I know its easy to joke about this now but it wont be so funny when that time comes.. I mean help.com wont really serve a purpose anymore so while we have the luxuary of spending time on the computer now this will all change.. Anyway I think the president has his priorities mixed up like his brain
