What will happen to oil states after oil?
If there really is no more oil, the next giant hype states will be for lithium or some shit. And radioactive substances.
Assuming batteries does not become cheap over night for common usage.
>>52109018
you either become Texas or ISIS
>>52109100
But ISIS depends on oil for money.
>>52109083
Will you lads be alright?
>>52109122
No. We are fucked quite hard.
50% of our economy is oil, and it will be soon 50 years since we struck oil.
>Price of oil drops by some %
>Unemployment literally rises from 5% to 15%
Most likely we will run into hyper inflation, partial government collapse, or hardcore populism fueled by the media.

the refugee situation is obviously not going to empty the pension fund in any near future, the refugees are not going to make us poor
also, the government will fund the refugee situation by taking from the foreign aid budget instead, and they are cancelling some tax cuts
as usual, the tax payers will pay for it before they dig into the pension fund
the government will do a lot of things before it even touches that fund
>>52109816
yup, the refugees here are living like kings
theyre living in fancy five stars hotels and such
really enjoy seeing those ugly shitskins walking around in my city, smoking cigs and giving mean looks to people while were using 1,5 million on each refugee every year
just wake me up mang

Just having it isn't enough, though. As far as I know, we're the ones researching it most thoroughly, because we'll need it as one of our alternatives once oil runs out.

We know about that, it's our gov that keks us by doing that. Lithium almost got privatized a few years ago, we are lucky to still control some of our own copper. Our government even privatized water at some point during the 90s

Oh are you UAE?
Isn't it just a city in the sand? Like a 21st century Mecca that got raped by consumerism?
>>52110626
Dubai is the most boring place on this planet. It's only shopping, beaches and some neutral entertainment. Much of entertainment and "fancy" stuff but nothing you can't do in other places. the thing that kills it for me: you don't really meet anybody there except other tourists. You can't contact with Arabs normally, you don't see any local culture because they don't have any. Only tennis academies and Italian pants. Well, maybe that's what people want to visit more that once in a lifetime.
>>52110470
>we're the ones researching it most thoroughly
How is that going on? Genuinely curious.
>>52109747
The trust fund is a extension nobody wants to touch, or direct.
1. Because the politicans have no idea on how economics work, and they know that enough to stay away from it
2. We are using like 1% of yearly earning(of said fund) to avoid taking loans. We are suppose to not use it, and instead fix our economy and budgets
3. we have large structural issues. Our goverment can survive a collapse, but not the population and the social issues that follow
>>52110825

Dubai is an artificial cultureless shithole that exists solely as monument to money and greed.
It should be burnt to the ground along with Singapur

You'd be amazed to see just how many Saudis come over to Dubai to drink every weekend, I thought they were supposed to hate that stuff.
>>52111446
They are scum! SCUM!
All of them!
That city is an insult to anything that is pure. It's like seeing honest and humble people turn to lowly prostitutes.
Good thing it will end when their oil runs out or when allah rains hell upon them for defiling everything that is holy.
Even their former prime minister said once "My grandfather fucked a camel, my father fucked a camel, I drive a Mercedes, my son drives a Land Rover, his son will drive a Land Rover, but his son will fuck a camel,"
Dubai seems like Vegas without the fun stuff.
does the breivik thing still have an effect on norwegian politics?

Yes our economists think our economy will be doing fine.
>>52111714
It's sterile, cultureless, jewish, fake, materialistic, hyper capitalist, a shithole by all regards minus the objectively measured ones. Probably only Singapur manages to be more shit.
I hope I see the day it burns. Allah ahkbar.

You should go full Texas. They became rich because of the oil business, but successfully diversified and are one of the biggest contributors to the US GDP. All you need is moar free market.
>>52112107
Free marked over here means any of the corporate interests get the government to stop restricting something it owns, so they can buy it for 1-3% of what the same company will earn over the next decade.
Sure, it starts out with cutting down fat and increased effectivity, but thats only for the first year. After that it tends to get stupid, where they want to entirely remove government control so they can sell it for 20-30% of the decade value for massive profit.
If it gets sold, they tend to sell it so it can get ruined.
Basically we don't have enough hardcore capitalists who can run large scale corporations, so we can't go full Texas.
The goverment has wanted us to go full Texas for the last 40 years, but they never can figure out what to do beyond small increases in funding to a Startup funding company, and trying to get more people to take medium and high education.

>Norway is run by smart people who have just begun cashing in on their sovereign fund
That doesn't mean Norway will be in good shape if 50% of the economy went away over a 20-30 year period of decline.
The scariest part isn't even the social collapse, and the massive centralization it would cause as outsider commuter communities completely collapse. Thats pretty scary, because it fucks over commuter communities, and then it fucks over smaller cities.
The scariest part will be that it allows for raw unfettered populism to go in to take over Norway, for issues that would need to be solved before they happened.
>>52109413
Join together with sweden you say? Dont think so. Not a former nazi supporting country like sweden
>>52115259
What does raw unfettered populism in Norway look like?
>>52115259
>50% of the economy went away
Literally how? The petroleum industry was responsible for about 22% of our GDP in 2012 when the oil price averaged over $110/bbl.
>>52109018
Almazes, gas, titanium, aluminium
>>52114502
Please elaborate.
>>52115259
Sounds exactly same what's happening in binland
>>52110273
There are like 200,000 of them and most of them are so white it doesn't matter.
>>52115731
22% of the GDP. And how many more % of the GDP do you think those petroleum jobs sustain? 10%? 20%?
Or how much shipping those % of the GDP supports, which allows our fishing fleet to exist like it does today?

>>52120069
29% is the total figure, and you can cut that in half with today's prices. The shipping industry thrives with low oil prices and the seafood industry has never done better.

Switzerland will pass both of us desu.
>>52109018
Norway will be fine as they save literally all the proceeds from it. Other oil states will be fucked since they're more like nig rappers, splurging all their proceeds on bling, bitches and Cristal.

The problem isn't that you don't know about it, the problem is that you pretend like you know all there is to know when you clearly don't. I don't pretend to know everything about American history because I fucking don't, maybe you should take notes on that.
