You should submit this to the Onion
those are government directive programs targeted to specific needs or insurance constructs.
But the money involved n the economy they support are capitalism.
Why am I not surprsied you support a socialist USA?
And you might want to ask yourself if the US politicians drained SSA for omnibus budgeting needs
what's the possibility they wouldn't do the same with any pot of money they came across.
Do you trust Congress to direct the economy?? what could go wrong??
Does that mean the socialist states transitioned out of fossil fuels in the 1970s?
Right. It's a yin and yang. someone has a need, and someone else takes a chance someone will have that need, and when it works out, everyone gets what they want. If the guy taking a chance thinks the government might take his inventory and hand it out, why would he keep doing it?
God, just think of the all the little things we enjoy that make no sense in a socialist society:
Movies: Is the government producing movies via public opinion survey? FUN STUFF!
Restaurants: All restaurants are taco bell now
Sports: Which team do we root for when we own them all?
LOL this could go on and on

It took years, but a lot of them have.
We have more urgency now because we dragged our feet this entire time.
You should kill yourself since you lack any critical thinking skills and offer nothing of value to the world.

This is the funniest thread this month. Kudos
Thank you for the satire
Thank you for the satire
And why did it drop? Because OPEC increased the global supply, which led to a reduction in the price per barrel. So Texas, so heavily reliant on fossil fuel revenues for its budget, faced virtually the same situation Venezuela faced; unable to meet its budgetary commitments because of a drop in oil revenues thanks to the increase to the global supply.
None of this matters if the price per barrel declines. It doesn't matter if the oil is owned by the state or a private company, both are affected by an increase in supply and decrease in global price per barrel; and the more oil you extract, the lower the price per barrel goes. So drilling more and increasing production will not put you ahead, it will result in you falling farther behind.
Most of that $20T are wars and tax cuts you wanted.
What socialist states were those - somewhere on the Moon, perhaps, where the imperialist armies couldn't get at them? Socialism is political control by the (normally huge majority) working class. I don't know how big this class is in Venezuela, but if you believe they are in control you have been taking too may drugs from your Colombian colony.
If the label of socialism bothers you so much, then fine!
We can pass Canadian-style call-it-whatever-you-want, and you can sit from behind your keyboard and type "ack-chu-uh-lee" all day long and give yourself comfort that your ad hoc definition of things is the standard.
Sounds like a plan.
Then what would you call their national, government-funded health care systems?
Not really because I know Denmark isn't fascist, but if you were coming out in support of whatever-it-is-you-want-to-call-European-socialism, then I'd let you have that bottle.
OK, so everyone is wrong on the game of semantics except you. LOL. What a fucking crybaby.
And over that time, the US oil and gas industry lost how many jobs?
Well, let's find out:
According to BLS, in 2008 there were a total of 154,000 people employed in oil and gas extraction. By February 2019, that number dropped to 150,000. And when did the drop occur? Late 2015.
Since reaching a peak of 200,800 people employed in October 2014, 25% of all oil and gas extraction jobs have been lost.
Why do you think that is?
The price per barrel, right?
So increasing production has what net effect on the price, and subsequently, employment and revenues?
It's really tied to the chargemaster, not the hourly rate of the labor.
This is the best explanation of what a chargemaster is and does that I've ever seen or read:

which is why pure socialism cant work
just like pure capitalism cant work
just like Pure Democracy cant work
just like merely being a republic cant work
they all fall pretty to the greed of sociopathic people
The founders of the United states realized that
SO THEY CREATED A HYBRED that just might work
and to make sure any of its unforeseen flaws could be corrected by the people themselves
regulations
enforcement of laws and regulations
A Democratic republic with a constitution that could react to the peoples will
the right now hates that constitution and government

No one buys that I’m laughing at you and this thread? You tell yourself that if you need to.
Does the utility outweigh the costs? Let's investigate that because I don't suspect it does. Now while we do use petroleum in things like plastics, the overwhelming majority of oil is used for energy purposes. We can certainly improve mileage standards for cars, as Obama did, and even transition from hybrids to full electric. Also, increased public transportation would help, as would telecommuting. The point is that we can get off our dependency on oil, it just requires funding innovation.
You just answered your own question; the more oil Venezuela produces, the lower the price per barrel. So it becomes a race to the bottom; pump more oil to make up for the decline in the price of oil because more is pumped.
Should Venezueals have diversified their economy more? Of course. But to lambast them for not investing more into the oil infrastructure while also saying they should diversify their economy is bullshit.
I'm not entirely sure what the solution to Venezuela is, but I know that increasing oil production isn't it.
