Flaxseed oil and Dash

I'm a vegetarian so to me the most useful vitamin supplement would be flaxseed oil capsules because my diet has little omega 3 in it at all. I don't eat fish or meats. I feel like I have plenty of the other nutrients but not omega 3. Omega 3 is important for the heart and the brain health I think. They add vitamins b12, C and D  to processed food already. I like taking my flaxseed oil capsules. 
A common thought I had in my head this month is what a car dashboard would look like if I was in charge of the design. It would have a model of the car on the dash board. When you turn the headlights on in the car, the little model car's headlights come on. When you press the turning signals, the little model car would flash it's turning signals. If you opened a door, a door on the model would open. There would be a mirror behind the model so you can see the little brake lights come on when you press the brakes. 

Next to the model would be lane partition lines that are animated when the car is moving. It is actually a solid white line but LCD blocks cause it to be fragmented and animated as if they were moving. The windscreen of the model car would have a digital display of the the car's speed . 
When the car is placed into reverse, the mirror behind the model car becomes clear and reveals a screen showing the reverse camera. 
The other lane of the road the model car is sitting on would have a white dot matrix display of text data like what station you are listening to. 

I'm not a car designer but it doesn't matter, I'm allowed to have thoughts about designing cars in my head, it doesn't hurt anyone.

Capital paradox

I describe the society I live in as a new age capitalist one. It works much like a food chain would in the natural world.

The first link in the chain is Energy and the next link is the maker and then the trader and then the Bank. This system works very well and creates prosperity. The problem is that our version of new age capitalism is corrupt.

The energy at the start of our food chain is fossil fuels, concentrated hydrocarbons that were left over from organisms that died millions of years ago. We turned our backs on all the free energy that was given to us from our star. We have turned ourself into a force of nature, displacing materials and changing the surface of the planet. If we don't change, our way of life will end as soon as the hydrocarbons are used up.

Corrupt leaders in the past submitted to lobbyists from oil companies. We need new leaders that can embrace a better way to be. It is the ordinary people like me that will gently steer them in the right direction.

Greenhouse nonsense

Many governments around the world think there is a big problem with global warming, I don't. I will tell you why.

I think that global warming is real and is a hazard but I don't think there is enough fossil fuels on Earth to cause a lasting greenhouse chain reaction.

In my opinion, global warming is a problem that is fixing itself. The inconvenient truth is that is is more and more inconvenient to harvest crude oil. It costs more and more money to get oil and coal out of the ground so people are motivated to get more fuel efficient cars and electric cars are getting cheaper and cheaper to make. Solar panels are also getting be cheaper to make.

Oil and coal near the surface is running out so bigger drills and diggers are needed that cost more money to get to the oil that is deeper and more out of reach. Eventually there will be no fossil fuels left.

Why should leaders like President Macron steal money from people to fix a problem that is fixing itself?
