So Trump DOES Want Venezuela's Oil. I Thought It Was Only A War On Drugs!

You'll have fun in the conspiracy forum, really. Go on.

It is not a conspiracy, you teach what you are allowed to teach. If you tried to teach something that was not approved by the government you would lose your job.

How long have you worked as a teacher?

 

[Norm Paperman]

How long have you worked as a teacher?

Zero days. That does not remove the fact you teach what is approved, you know it and I know and so does everyone else.

 

[Unkotare]

Zero days. ...

Ever heard of a DBQ?

Disability Benefits Questionnaires?

Disability Benefits Questionnaires?

How would that relate to teaching history?

 

[Unkotare]

Google again.

 

[Norm Paperman]

Google again.

No thanks.

How about this, give an example of something you taught that was not approved by the government.

They would be as rich as saudi arabia if they played their card right

And so could we be, if we nationalized our oil and had a strong social welfare system like Saudi Arabia.

So are you promoting Communism or Socialism? Not to be a jerk, but it is kind of what you are saying.

I could be on board with nationalizing our oil.

Our nation is not Saudi Arabia.

Glad you cleared that up.

nationalized our oil......that IS communism in a nutshell, that is NOT free market

YOU are promoting communism with that line of thinking

should the government take over all businesses related to AI, should they take over the power grid too?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Socialism, actually.

You kept saying "we". "Our" oil.

It isnt "ours". It belongs to companies that will sell it to the highest bidder, American or otherwise.

we as in the USA, USA companies, not we the people........it's a business like any other

yes they can but our consumption, why would they refine it here and spend the money to send it to china?

that's cutting into profit

communism/socialism both like to take away businesses run by people and the government takes them
to use how they will for the better of society because they know better, least that is what they think in their head

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

we as in the USA, USA companies, not we the people...

Are you a USA company?

No. Then it isn't, "we" . These companies hold no loyalty to you or me whatsoever. They dont sell to us at a discount. I dont care what happens to them.

yes they can but our consumption, why would they refine it here and spend the money to send it to china?

Why do we export oil at all, then?

And we import oil.

Because they are private companies selling on the global market to the highest bidder.

And the reason I take exception to your use of the word, "we" is because thay mindset is used against us. Like with the Keystone XL pipeline.

They actually had Americans being little footsoldiers for their pipeline that would have made our oil and gas more expensive.

our thirst is more than we make, our consumption daily is off the chart

oil is stable everywhere and if costs you to load up a tanker to ship around the globe that is a profit eater

back to why nationalizing it is dumb......

UPS and fedex make billions in profit, USPS loses billions......there is a reason

red tape to the point just to turn a valve you need 3 engineers and another person to record them turning the valve

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

our thirst is more than we make, our consumption daily is off the chart

We are now a net exporter of oil.

We say net, because we import a lot and export a lot.

Because us oil companies have no loyalty or reason whatsoever to sell to us at a discount.

So starting an illegal war to secure oil rights to benefit them really, really would make us look stupid.

UPS and fedex make billions in profit, USPS loses billions......there is a reason

Which has nothing to do with nationalizing a resource. Those are means of production.

And USPS loses money because it is designed to be affordable. It loses money by design.

Trump's blockade of sanctioned Venezuelan oil raises new questions about legality

President Donald Trump’s “blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers off Venezuela’s coast is raising new concerns about the legality of his military campaign in Latin America

abcnews.go.com

Does the US have any real claim on Venezuelan oil as Stephen Miller says?

US companies developed Venezuelan oil fields until the country nationalised its oil reserves in the 1970s.

Yes, there is a reason. UPS and FedEx are businesses while the USPS is a service.

If UPS and FedEx were required to deliver to every single mailbox in the country 6 days a week, they would have been out of business a long, long time ago

If UPS and FedEx were required to deliver to every single mailbox in the country 6 days a week, they would have been out of business a long, long time ago

likely not, it's about logistics and manpower, UPS and Fedex makes millions of delivers every day

so UPS and fedex are not a service compared to usps, both makes deliveries of packages

not seeing the logic here exactly
