Add in the size of the oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, then Russia, and you begin to understand the motivation behind Trump’s “foreign policy”
Largest oil reserves in the world: Venezuela
Largest oil producer in Africa: Nigeria
One of the largest undeveloped rare earth mineral deposits outside China: Greenland

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This is called pillaging.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.
