Coffee is the second largest legally traded commodity on the face of the planet. After oil. I think the world
would be a better place if there was more coffee than oil being traded.
We all
know the problems oil has caused to probably every human being alive today.
(And a lot who are dead too). The world would be a lot better if coffee
was to surpass oil as the biggest traded commodity and I want the world to be a
better place.
If we lived in a world were coffee was bigger than oil, there would be a lot more people strung out on the effects of caffeine. This is a good thing, think about it. Productivity would be through the roof and family time would be more common as people sleep less and do everything faster and better. Robots would not have to be invented because people will be awake for twenty hours a day and get a lot more accomplished.

Coffee grinds are great for growing roses so the world could look better
and smell a lot better too. Women might get more bunches of roses from men so
there would be more romance and a lot less men in trouble for not caring
enough. Rose gardens could replace oil rigs so there would be less ugly
constructions in the world and people in movies that work on oil rigs in the
middle of the ocean that seem to always be on fire, would not die in these
fires.
Oil leaks would be a thing of the past. The Gulf of Mexico would be pretty again, wild life would not die and Obama would never be in trouble for not fixing the leak. He could spend his time stopping to smell all the roses that his country is growing from rose gardens, which they would grow from invading other countries for their coffee grinds.

The Middle East would get a break from being invaded. Their climate
is no good for growing coffee beans and the coffee they make is rubbish
anyway so no one would be tempted to invade them. Although
looking at their history the poor bastards just keep getting invaded anyway so
let’s be realistic here.
Coffee tastes better than oil. It smells better and looks fancier when
served in fine bone china cups with little flowers on them. Although it
is possible to buy coffee that tastes like crude oil which makes me wonder if
people do serve oil in cups and call it coffee. If you don't believe me,
go to Japan for a coffee. It's definitely crude oil. The liquid
even dissolves the spoon you use to stir the coffee/oil.
The world would be in a better socio-economic place if oil was in less demand and coffee was in more demand. Farmers in Central America who currently get 2 cents from every cup of coffee sold might get 4 cents. Actually, they would probably get even less as big corporations would move in and form unions that didn't work and then the land would be bought out and make the farmers work for 0.5 cents per cup of coffee. But this is about the bright side of coffee vs oil, not the dark side.

Even those weird people who drink decaf would have to start drinking real
coffee as the world would be spinning too fast for them and they couldn't keep
up. hey would probably lose their jobs, spend far too much time sleeping
and relaxing and then they would be persecuted, like the witches of
Salem. Burnt at the stake for ruining the world, whether it's their fault
or not. Decaf coffee might even have to go underground like illegal
drugs and sold in the back alleys of Kings Cross. They could drink it out
of bongs and start a black market movement called 'sloths unite' or something
to that effect.
So, I think we can all see the benefits of living in a world where coffee is grown, traded and sold more than oil. Robots would remain in Science Fiction novels and never take over the world because of their increasing self-awareness. The back alleys of The Cross would be busy again and another series of Underbelly could be made. Everything would smell better, look better, go a lot faster and no one would invade the Middle East. Women would be given more flowers, okay, that will probably never happen but it's a lovely thought. A world with more coffee and less oil sounds like Utopia to me.

Great argument. There is an element of scientific reasoning here. The worlds coffee growing regions r under threat from climate change. What has caused climate change? Yep that's right burning oil!
