Global Ag, Energy Battles, and the Rising Threat of Digital IDs
The discussion turns to the rise of biometrics and digital IDs, tools that threaten freedom and privacy under the banner of “progress.” Buckley and Loos also cover the battle over energy, with coal production falling, reliable energy shrinking, and prices rising worldwide. They stress how cheap, dependable coal once kept economies stable but is now vilified in the name of green agendas. Technology’s blessings and curses are also explored, as both acknowledge the innovations that help agriculture while warning about its dangers when misused. Finally, Buckley highlights New Zealand’s troubling out-migration of young people, a pattern mirrored across the globe, as bad policy drives future generations away from their homelands.
