Get to Know Me: Dmitry Orlov

Too tired to write much, but I feel like I should put something up here since it's been a while, so here's my newest favorite thinker and speaker, Dmitry Orlov. He's a Russian American who lived through the Soviet collapse and argues that we're heading toward something very similar, only worse, since we're a lot less prepared for hardship, both personally and economically (Russia was and is a net fuel exporter, whereas we are incredibly dependent on our fuel imports). Anyway, brilliant, funny, and depressing. The trifecta!
