I've been expecting the cost of flights to skyrocket soon too. Seems obvious.
I'm surprised you didn't discuss the social / familial implications of this. We're at peak familial globalization. Many, many people live a plane's ride away from their extended families, have extended families scattered all other large countries or the globe.
I kind of suspect that the skyrocketing rates of immigration and encouragement of young people to move to cities away from extended family may have been a strategy to destabilize families and communities before cutting off access to flights (except to the very wealthy, as you note).
In the long run, for those who do reproduce, hopefully it will mean a return to extended families and communities. Ethnogenesis over multiple generations. Should be interesting. In 100+ years my area is going to have some very beautiful White/Persian/Latin/East Asian/Indian/Filipino/Jewish/Etc people and hopefully enough old-world cooking skills to survive skyrocketing food prices.
Peak oil LOL. Slate and Salon, is that you? Remember Chimpy McBu$hitler, the president who was literally Adolf Hitler?
New methods discovered far more oil than was ever thought to exist. It doesn’t matter, that myth was just like global warming, a hoax intended to force us to adopt socialism globally. It’s always an emergency and always will be.
EROI is king

I wonder if this falls under Mcgenics?
Ha. Yeah.

Do you think the Orangeman’s sabre-rattling over Greenland will endanger or enhance American power?
