@texasgeologist.bsky.socialReposted by @armineyalnizyan.bsky.socialRe: Trump's diesel deal with Putin Conversion factor is 7.5 barrels of diesel per metric ton. Daily global diesel consumption is around 25 million bpd. So, the initial 300,000 tons, or 2.2 million barrels, would meet global demand for about two hours.

I make the case why I think we *are* in a productivity crisis, one that has been predicted for over 40 years; but not for the reasons we thought. And the fix won't come from where we thought either.
