Donald Trump has suggested US taxpayers could reimburse energy companies for repairing Venezuelan infrastructure for extracting and shipping oil.
Trump acknowledged that “a lot of money” would need to be spent to increase oil production in Venezuela after US forces ousted its leader, Nicolás Maduro, but suggested his government could pay oil companies to do the work.
“A tremendous amount of money will have to be spent and the oil companies will spend it, and then they’ll get reimbursed by us or through revenue,” the president said.
The US energy secretary, Chris Wright, reportedly plans to meet representatives of Chevron, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil at the Goldman Sachs Energy, Clean Tech & Utilities Conference in Miami later this week.
Lol Donny you’re losing the thread here you gotta pretend to fuck over foreigners, not Americans. Come on now, focus!
Wait! Isn’t socialism, according to the american doctrine, a very bad thing?
Reimbursing oil companies does not seem like socialism.
It’s socialism for ✨corporations✨
It’s hard to pass as “sound investment”, also.
They’ve always been doing this anyway. Your taxes fund dividends.
what an absolute scam wizard
Resistance becomes necessary once any crime becomes legalized in a mobocracy.
We pay for the honer of paying more later. Its the circle of grift.
Paul Singer will take this all the way up to the Supreme Court… again.
And there it is America. You will be paying for the oil baron’s windfall.
They’re already paying. They’re about to pay more. 😄
Public costs and private profits eh?
I think even a general strike would fall short as an action.
So much capitalism. What a free market /s

If oil companies invest in Venezuela that is their problem not the US taxpayers problem.
This man somehow gets dumber every single day. I didn’t think there were IQ’s below zero but he is proving otherwise.
He’s dumb, but this is deliberate. The whole point is to take public funds and give them to the wealthy while making it impossible for the poor to live.
This drives everything, doesn’t it. Even when it doesn’t look like it on the surface, look for an upwards redistribution scheme is and you find the logic behind the madness.
Stealing from the poor to give to the rich…
Yeah. This isn’t the first time we as taxpayers have paid for “infrastructure upgrades” with nothing to show for it. They straight up pocketed the money.
We thought we were going to end with techno feudalism. Turns out it’s just plain ol’ feudalism.
WDYM not US taxpayer problem, who paid for the special military operation, that’s supposed to enable oil corpos to “invest”?
But still can’t afford healthcare for our citizens, somehow.
This clown needs to be removed.
The US wants to kill off the non working citizens and funnel those savings to the oligarchy. Such efficiency. We really need to start hunting billionaires.

Final stage capitalism
Hey, um, congress? What the fuck are you waiting for?
They’re waiting on their buy options
their cut
For someone to remind them of what the consequences of an unsatisfied population are I guess

This alone would be over the top satirical fiction of a thoroughly corrupt government in most modern countries. To the point where the premise would risk rejection by editors for being too fucking blatant about it! 🤦
So if we pay for it, we’ll own the product… r-r-right?!
Every year, on the anniversary of Maduro’s kidnapping, you would allowed to dip your finger in a pot of crude and keep what sticks to your skin.
That is all.
The real reason Trump took out Maduro. He dances better than him without jacking two guys off at the same time.
they’re just teabagging us at this point
GG no RE
