James Howard Kunstler
In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and James Howard Kunstler discuss:
- The sorry state of the US political system
- From Covid to Epstein: can our “leaders” bungle even worse?
- Why Re-localization is the answer, whether we want it or not
- Why we’re never returning to “normal” as we knew it
Jim Kunstler returns to the program to report the latest view through is “Long Emergency” lens.
It’s a little scary: many of the trends he’s long been predicting have been suddenly accelerated by the events of 2020. Particularly his warnings that our urban & suburban lifestyle of mega-marts, McMansions and food deserts were going to start failing us, resulting in flight to rural areas.
As Jim explains here, re-localization of our economy and social networks is going to be the way of the future — whether we choose it, or reality forces it upon us.

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and James Howard Kunstler discuss:
- The Shale Oil Booby-Trap
- Fake prosperity that will tank the markets when it ends
- Could The US Government Nationalize The Oil Industry?
- It very well could
- The Destruction Of Coherent Ideas
- To fail to plan is to plan to fail
- What Are We Willing To Give Up?
- A better future depends on abandoning some of our self-destructive luxuries
In this week’s podcast, Chris and Jim tackle a wide range of issues — from shale oil, to Jeffrey Epstein, wokesterdom, the financial bubble, social malaise, and the future of society. One deficit particularly concerning to Jim is our culture’s inability to have coherent discourse.
If we can’t engage in understanding and intelligently debating with one another, how will we ever devise effective solutions to the many challenges we face?

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and James Howard Kunstler discuss:
- Zig-Zag Markets
- There's a war going to keep prices propped up
- A Matter Of Desperation
- The central planners are out of tricks
- The Masses Are Getting Angry
- And are turning their ire on those in control
- Our Broken Political System
- Furiously focusing on all the wrong issues
Jim Kunstler returns to share his views on what's ahead in 2019. Like Peak Prosperity, he sees the coming year as one when the forces of reality start to re-exert themselves after a decade of magical thinking.
Those in control of the system have juiced it as hard as they could for as long as they could, and now the limits to that 'extend-and-pretend' era are quickly becoming visible. And the bottom 99% is beginning to realize that not only was the “prosperity” of the post-GFC recovery largely fraudlent, but what there was of it went as spoils to the elites. Expect further social outrage like we're currently seeing in France to boil over into many other countries in the coming months.
