    It’s always been about the oil with Venezuela. The US does not care about the legitimacy of foreign elections and never has, anyone who believes that is an idiot,

    To misattribute a quote to Gordon Ramsey: “You’ve put so much oil in this, the US want to invade the plate”.

    Their oil is bad and investing in new oil drilling is likely to yield low returns as a crash is incoming due to renewables being cheaper and most states having a desire to alleviate climate change risks.

    Well we have reserves in barrels and export ind dollars.

    So nobody can get any information about how much oil was actually exported.

    I don’t know the oil price. I don’t think everyone is paying the same.

    This is almost useless

      Tell people this and they’ll blink at you like you just asked a fish to do calculus.

      The public is woefully ignorant on how the oil industry as a whole works, the vast majority of people don’t even know that there are different qualities and weights of oil that are suited for different things.

    why does this graph have a 2:1 ratio of content to border? did you open it full screen on an ultrawide monitor to screenshot it then not crop or?

    I’m used to seeing lots of vertical borders because of phones, but this almost seems like it took more effort to make this way.
