I’m not a posting/re-posting kind of person, so I wouldn’t recommend following me unless you’re dying to see my comments on other people’s posts. I’m here for baseball, basketball, urbanism, travel, tech, and my unfortunate addiction to current events.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

Periodic reminder:
If you use less gas for transportation, you help drop the value of a barrel of oil, which makes the people looking to profit off of stealing from Venezuelans, lose money.

Take the bus/train/bike/scooter, buy an EV, don't use gas.

Which makes invading Venezuela a much less profitable endeavor.
Venezuela either has "The most oil in the world!" Or "Not that much oil really," depending on what the price of oil is.

Oil is currently near a 4 year low.

True. It's complicated.
"How much oil does Venezuela have? And is it high or low quality?" are questions whose answer changes greatly depending on what the global price of oil is. 🤷🏿♂️

The simplest way for everyone in the US to protest this imperial action is to stop using oil.
Ride your bike for all short trips, switch to an EV, car pool to use less. It also saves you money.
I started using my bike for everything in the early 2000’s to divorce myself from the Iraq oil war.
