energybulletin

What i like about energy bulletin.net was that each page was on a diff88rent topic that had to do with oil. When i was reading the articals i found that alot of the stuff said was stuff that i had alread knew. But there was some stuff that i had never heard about befor. "Historically, taxing the subject state has been in various forms—usually gold and silver, where those were considered money, but also slaves, soldiers, crops, cattle, or other agricultural and natural resources, whatever economic goods the empire demanded and the subject-state could deliver. Historically, imperial taxation has always been direct: the subject state handed over the economic goods directly to the empire." (energybulletin.net) i liked this quote because i thought that it was interesting on how back in this time and empire there was diffrent ways of basicly currancy. but what i found interesting was that all the things listed were some ofthe stuff that we still use today except for slavery. But then i thought even though we dont use slaves we still use imagrants to do the work in some fields just like in sloughter houses as seen in our daily bread and fast food nation.
