All I'm talking about is them returning to VZ to kick up its oil production, and obviously sharing the profits AS THEY GO with VZ. Profits VZ doesn't currently have b/c Chavez and Maduro literally ran the industry into the ground.

Initial estimates are they can have full production up and running in about 18 months.

And if they don't want to do it, BFD. VZ's new gov will just have to figure it out, and I'm sure they can learn with our help. We can get somebody in there to repair their infrastructure and start pumping a helluva lot more oil that they currently are, and share the profits. Maybe Chevron alone. Maybe Canadian oil companies if ours say no.

P.S. Did you have a bad weekend? If so, I'm sorry to hear that. You seem grumpier than normal today. :)

Don't you know? Trump did something Biden and Kamala only talked about doing. That really pisses him off.

Andy B.: When he thinks he's gotten one over us only for it to blow up in his face.
