The first Trump administration placed sanctions on Venezuela, including its oil industry. Years of sanctions, insufficient investment and political turmoil have since turned what had been a top oil-producing country with vast deposits into one that industry representatives have called a junkyard.
They keep getting away with it. A country wants more of the share of the proceeds for oil sales, colonial occupation says no, they get thrown out, then they use international finance to wreck the country. Then, they come in back in to loot it after the collapse
People like playing around and exploring. As long as they're having fun and understand that it's for fun, then by all means.
I ran Ubuntu when it was first released (oh God I'm old) and it's fine. It has some annoying things that I don't like (unattended upgrades, why are you shit) but it's fine. I just want to enjoy being on the computer, playing my games on Steam on Linux and just going on with my life. I don't need to run Gentoo. I don't need that kind of excitement
Even with people explaining who she is and the TV shows that she was on, I feel like I understand even less of what the hell is going on (I don't watch much TV).

Went to the protest today in my city that PSL organized, to protest against the aggression towards Venezuela. Very small turnout. Public reception was 99% positive, only one angry heckler.
Classic concern trolling. Bringing up things in order to slow it down, bog it down, and eventually kill it.
