We have plenty of oil. I think it is all due to coked up commodity traders, douche bags in suits. Oil should not be a market commodity. Greedy people who never did a hard days work in their life are making millions and getting fried on coke. **** wall street.

It has to do with ruling elites controlling the narrative every day. Leaderships move people into social directions that exceed adapting in actual time alive.

Fellowships are educated to dream of idealistic social outcomes that exceeds the simplicity of adapting since conception and New World orders happen cradle to grave every generation gap avoiding the conversations now is eternity due to genetic separation of lifetimes daily here.

Actually adapting in plain sight since conception or designing 7 tomorrows beyond staying alive now.

What does your reality defend 24/7 including every generation gap in history up to current events?

The oil companies here sell their oil at global market price, not at local prices. It has its benefits and drawbacks. Right now, we are experiencing one of the drawbacks. The Iran war is the primary culprit. The other option is for the US to nationalize its own oil. Not a good idea. That is what Venezuela did.

There has to be a way to sell oil at domestic prices in the USA while selling oil at global prices to the rest of the world. Being energy independent should have some advantages. It's kind of like instate and out of state tuition. Locals should pay less.

I get that. But at some point we need to grow a brain, fight corruption and get it right. I just don't know how.

Many of our large Southwestern refineries were engineered to process the crude imported from Venezuela....

It's about the grade.

A friend who is an owner operator spent $3500 in diesel in 7 days. Has to make $14k a month before he can afford lunch.

I hope he survives.

It's a great time to be getting oil royalties! :ninja:

Venezuela's nationalization of its oil industry primarily impacted multinational oil corporations, particularly major American and European companies that had operated under concession agreements. 
While international law and independent economists emphasize that Venezuela legally owns the oil reserves within its own territory, the accusation of "theft" refers to the seizure of private corporate assets, infrastructure, and investments without the full payment of legally required compensation. 
The primary entities impacted across Venezuela's two distinct waves of nationalization include:

The 2007 Wave under Hugo Chávez [1]
The most severe financial disputes and uncompensated asset seizures occurred in 2007, when President Hugo Chávez forced foreign operators into minority stakes controlled by the state oil company, PDVSA
  • ConocoPhillips: The American giant saw its substantial investments in major ventures (such as Petrozuata, Hamaca, and Corocoro) seized outright. International tribunals later ordered Venezuela to pay the company $8.7 billion, of which only a fraction has been recovered.
  • ExxonMobil: Refused to accept Chávez's terms and had its extraction infrastructure expropriated. The World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) subsequently awarded ExxonMobil $1.6 billion in compensation.
  • Other Impacted Majors: Companies like BP, Statoil (now Equinor), Total, and Chevron agreed to restructure into minority-stake joint ventures to avoid outright seizure, though their overall financial control was heavily diluted.

Venezuela OIL, along with ME oil, has been shipped to California for DECADES and there is so many ties there it's not even funny.

Chevron USED to operate out of California, but that's coming to an end since your sides **** is driving ALL major corporations out of the state. THAT'S how **** MORONIC YOUR SIDE IS, DICKBREATH PIECE OF ****!!

Why don't you KILL YOURSELF. NOW. Make the universe a better place, ASSHOLE!!
