@mrjamesob.bsky.social I am the Mom of an ADHD child, which was new then in 1984. My lucky approach about everything difficult as "Can't or Won't?" -- then the behavior was CLEAR. You don't expect a Newborn to walk. Or a 5 year old to drive. So many EASY choices, almost every time. Kindness.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, estimated at about 303 billion barrels as of 2023-2025. These reserves mainly lie in the Orinoco Belt, which contains extra-heavy crude oil that is more challenging and costly to extract compared to conventional oil.
