Peak oil mouthpieces were enlisted by state oil producers to extrapolate contrivance on behalf of goal seeking government producers for cash flow as extortion. 2. Supply and Demand of anything physical has built in constraints. 3. Automakers with unsold inventory are equivalent too state run oil producers, they need cash flow first last and always. 4. Supply and demand has complex identity......not simple identity. The lessons for the state run producers will now be subject to combinations of causal consequences, they neither understand, nor are they prepared for. For them, it is once again proven that the missing information bites. 5. Automakers strategy to seek bail outs are attempts to manage their business' concurrent cost structures without recognition for the natural constraints built into thier respective markets by dynamical supply and demand. 6. Oil being produced today is being accumulated for use at some future tomorrow, meanwhile current cash flow demands accumulate, thus increasing producers demand for ever more production every day, just to meet an ever farther future supply, which is subject to some future constraints which are not predictable today. 7. Automakers may or may not be oriented to building what customers might want to buy at some future date. They must deal with their current cash flow demand against which is positioned, an unknown set of buyer preferences.....at some tomorrow, and so the tangled web is woven enlisting policy making as redundant contributory content to an already broken understanding of the problems. 8. The leadership of two dependent categories of demand oil for fuel and autos that use it, are on trial in a world where thier capacity to understand the missing information, is thier trial. 9. These markets manifesting Complex identity, will set future constraints, by integrating uncalculated missing information into what the simple identity camps, fail to understand. 10. Current policy makers in Washington, Moscow, Iran and Venzuela share a deficit in understanding the complex identity of free markets......right action cannnot originate from wrongful assumptions structured to sustain status quos within simple identity projections. Momentum originating from contrivances always breaks down, leaving only inertia, in its place.
