You know the wierd thing is that Murmillus complained about his rising livingcosts and countries waging war for oil. Mate, you do realise your livingcosts are basically mainly dependant on oil. If the price for oil skyrocketed you would starve to death. Plastics would cost a fuckton, you couldnt afford a car, publictransportation would be too expensive, all goods would cost a fuckton more cause the transportingcosts would also skyrocket etc etc etc. Complain and theorize as much as you like, but it is a possibility, if the West hadnt waged its oilwars you would be better off living in Saudi-Arabia by now.
