NEWS FLASH most countries in the world do not have independent courts so why the hell are you targeting the Saudi's??? Why don't you first ask China, nicely maybe? :)

The American way is to remove government from peoples lives because the more government is involved the worse everything is, private enterprise will build rail if it is sensible to do so, the government will only provide you with that rail while finances are good but it will disappear when finances are bad. China does not know bad financial times yet, but the future that reality will happen as with every single country in history. China simply does not understand bad financial times and when it happens they will see the reality. It is unfortunate they will not have any way to stop the government from going too far since the Chinese people have no say in the direction of their own nation. At least in a democracy the people can try and stop the government from going in to bad direction, In China no one can tell Xi what to do. So if he makes a mistake and he is making one right now, there is no way to stop it from getting bad....

The video has a number major issues, #1 if peak oil is real and so far there is no proof of that, it would lead to prices skyrocketing which would actually benefit the Saudi's. #2 Cars are only using some 25% of all oil pulled from the ground so the demand for oil is just not going to disappear and as time progresses the demand for the other uses of oil could rise as countries develop and populations grow. The real change will be if China backs away from being the world's factory and the cost of goods rises, the overall availability/affordability of goods will fall reducing oil demand but we will have to see how China moves forward. #3 Another major issue in the video is that I don't think most people care about the "Issues" in Saudi Arabia like what happened in Turkey or how they run their own country as long as they are not threatening western allies I just don't see it as an issue. Western powers need to back away from putting demands on their allies like this because you can bet your ass that Russia and China don't care which risks distancing countries like Saudi Arabia from the west which is far bigger risk than anything else. The west needs Saudi Arabia more than the Saudi's need them .

One problem with Dollar General is that they do not offer a tab, the original General store or local convenience stores do still or at least used to offer a store tab, allowing customers to pay for food up to X amount every month and only pay for it once they got a paycheck. The store would of course no longer allow a tab if the customer failed to pay on time but this has been a key part of the original General store model that Dollar General and other large chains of stores do not offer.

The price for battery chart is very inaccurate. The price for 18650 cells are down maybe 30% in the last 7 or so years, not the crazy number in the chart. The price in the chart is probably including manufacturers subsidizing EVs, that money came from either outside investors or lenders such as with Tesla or internal investments from established car makers so it is artificially cheaper. The real price to follow is that of the 18650 or 21700 cell and that is where the price change is much more realistic and tame. Also to note that batteries such as 21700 and 18650 have the same exact power to mass ratio just that one is slightly bigger and so it has an equal increase in capacity but technologically and chemically they are the same, just a different size to better fit one car or another. Maybe an SUV can squeeze in a few more 18650s or a flat battery in a small sedan like the Model 3 can fit more in with 21700 but they are overall the same battery chemistry just different sizes.

@CT-qh1sf Chinese CCP Government will is for itself all it cares about is to protect its own power and money. They will give the people what they want to keep them happy but only for now.

Nonsense, supply and demand is always the game and as prices rise there will be a rush to produce more oil so eventually, economies will slow, recessions will hit, oil production will rise and prices... WILL CRASH AGAIN.

@jimmyluo2962 1. USA invaded another country because the USA was attached on 9/11 by a person Osama Bin Laden who was operating from that country. 2. USA never had hate crimes on Asian people, you are watching lies from your Chinese media. 3. USA companies are not doing anything it is Chinese companies that now have control over you. Chinese media lies to make it look like the west is doing something and then Chines does it to harm you, yet the west never did anything from the beginning. Just lies in Chinese media so they can do something to you and say, the west did it first, but the west never did anything at all.

If I am going on a vacation I am not skimping a few hundreds for some shitty 3rd rate airline that packs people in like Sardines and gives them sandwiches in a shoe box. The more people the worse a flight is, fuck that. I will pay the money for a nice flight and specifically hunt for turboprop flights when possible like when I fly from Seattle inside the US or Canada I will pay to fly on a small turbo prop flight, it takes a vacation to a totally new level and just kicks it off and ends in a smile!! But in all reality I usually drive, like from Seattle to Las Vegas the drive is out of this world, down route 93 or 95 is an experience and great fun to do even after doing it 10+ times.

That is not true, I have friends that were married and live in different countries on the other side of the world. Strong love means nothing not a train and not a plane.

This is not true, #1 oil is only 25% used for cars the rest is used in industry and to power airplanes, ships and so on. Even if all cars become EVs that 25% could be replaced over time as countries develop and demand for consumer goods rises and as populations grow.
