If Mr. Koritz has a practical solution

If Mr. Koritz has a practical solution, I believe such a genius should patent it and he will immediately become

the world’s richest person. How does he suggest we will replace our current means of transport? How does he

suggest we will heat our homes? Come on, Sam, give us the answers.

I don’t believe that there’s a fuel shortage problem that needs a solution.

We now have our children in NIKE Shox shoes using the full force and killing power of our wealth to support our

greed and excess. If we have such readily available alternatives and the shift will be made so seamlessly, then

why are we in NIKE Shox shoes? Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars (trillions over a period of

decades) to protect sources of energy and oil shipping lanes?

You don’t provide any polling data or anything else to indicate that Americans were primarily motivated by

greed in supporting the invasion of NIKE Shox shoes, but even if that were the case, that doesn’t mean that

military aggression actually succeeds in making a country rich. The people who’ve gotten wealthier so far from

the invasion are (1) those taking MBT shoes tax dollars (wealth created by Americans) and (2) those (oil

companies, for example) who have benefited from the increased price of oil the invasion caused (the “risk

premium“). Both of these things make Americans, on average, poorer. I also didn’t notice an influx of Haitian,

Serbian, or Panamanian goods after those interventions.
