One of the key features of authoritarian / totalitarian government is the sidelining of the organs of governement in favor of the organs of The Party (Nazi, Fascist, Communist). These party organs assume the role of various goverment functions (think DOGE). A subtle by scary development.

Best estimate: $80+/barrel is a reasonable reference for what it might cost a producer to justify new investment in Venezuelan heavy oil under current conditions
Current Price: Between $40 - $60/barrel
So the Venezuelan oil isn’t even profitable
He’s such a stupid fucking clown 🤡.

Lord knows I love a good nap. And being retired I can manage a nap most days. My wife, who puts up with my daytime dreamtime made up a great joke about it.
"Honey, what do you call going a whole day without a nap?"

"An ALL-DAYER! 🤣"
She’s funny, I’ll give her that!
