This is a pure, unadulterated call for genocide from a sitting Member of Congress.
Respectable, decent public officials don’t target vulnerable communities – cowards do.
ALL of our safety is intertwined. This bigotry and violent hatred make every last one of us less safe.

At the time O&G sector employed 200k. As these numbers show automation has eliminated 2/3 of those

Yes. Oil&gas production and profits continue to increase for a decade since 2011 but the number of oil&gas workers continues to decline at the same time.
Somehow this is apparently the fault of woke crosswalks or something.

Yeah. Interesting, huh? The feds could legally veto the provinces' use of the notwithstanding clause if they were willing to put up with the ensuing provincial revolt.
Fun fact: Section 90 was last used in 1943 to prevent Alberta from legally discriminating against Hutterites trying to buy land.

This is why I'm skeptical that Trump's belligerence is primarily about taking Venezuela's oil. I think it's ideological. They want to destroy a nominally socialist regime for the sake of it. They want to exert manifest destiny in the Western Hemisphere. Vz oil is just a cherry on top.

In the short term, the attacks on Venezuela are more about distracting from the Epstein Files than anything else. But they've chosen this distraction because it advances their larger and recently published objective of dominance of the Western Hemisphere.

Rubio and his buddies are delusional if they think that overthrowing Maduro would be quick win. The country's bigger than Ukraine and it has a serious military. Not a peer military to the US, but a legitimate fighting force that could kill American troops.
