Push Rod Engines
I know what the problem is, and it ain't a lack of crude oil.
What it is is this;
They can't print money fast enough to get it into the hands of the consumers quickly enough, that if everybody had a 6-liter today, to buy the gas required by those engines, they wouldn't yet all have the money in their pockets..
And then there's the logistical problem of moving twice the amount of fuel, from place to place.
And then the ever-increasing population of young kids coming of driving age. Why; the government would have to start mining local crude! instead of sending trillions upon trillions of dollars to the oilchits of foreign countries, or trading them weapons for oil.
It's all about the money, and war is big business. And if the printing presses are at full capacity, hey here's an idea, build another printer, those oil barons don't like credit. What you're still short? we'll take the Eastern seaboard... and then the Western. And by the way, we're taking the mineral rights too.
I gotta wonder how much of America actually still belongs to Americans. Because from my vantage point; it seems like America is no longer being run by Native Sons.
Canada either, for whatever it matters with our puny population. At least I haven't seen a curbchitter yet.
yes; tongue-in-cheek, but I wonder for how long.
