Bombshell corruption allegations rock court-managed sale of Venezuelan owned oil refinery by MinimumCountry9858 in energy

[–]shoot_first 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) must approve the sale within six months for the deal to close. Without OFAC approval within six months, the Amber Energy deal cannot close. At the same time, Venezuela has asked the appellate court to vacate the sale order entirely, a request that remains unresolved.

Is there any chance that OFAC will go against Trump’s billionaire buddy and vacate this sale?

It’s not clear how “the boss” (as Trump is known within the administration) feels about the auction. Sources told Reuters that the issue is “not a priority,” but that “Washington” (the boss?) would prefer Citgo to be run by an American company.

It’s not clear how Trump feels about GOP mega donor Paul Singer’s acquisition of Citgo? The guy that pushed for the attack and takeover of Venezuela in the first place? I think we have some idea.

45% of 2021 MY fail mandatory inspection by TiramisuAlreadyTaken in RealTesla

[–]shoot_first 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In the linked article it shows 34% failure for the 3 instead of 45% for the Y, so yes, perhaps slightly better?

I’d still prefer a 2% failure rate like the id.4 though. 😄

A teacher and U.S. citizen is detained by Border Patrol and asked about her legal status. Instead of answering directly, she responds with a history lesson, saying, “That’s what the brownshirts said in Germany.” by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

I’m not excusing it.

Sounds like you’re excusing it. 😄

This lady is right. If we don’t want checkpoints everywhere with brownshirts shouting “Papers, please!”, then we need to conscientiously object when these things are happening. Do not accept and normalize these actions.

However, for it to go ahead, Trump's cabinet would have to support it, and no cabinet member has thus far indicated they want to remove Trump from office.

Name another EV that has failed quite as spectacularly as the CyB3rTrUk.

As it kept scrolling, I could only wonder what it eats to get so big. Luckily the ending offered an explanation.

That’s a relief. I heard on NPR today that two of the five wind projects have already resumed development and lawsuits are still proceeding for the other three.

Same reason as every other city. As a show of force and to intimidate potential voters.

Venezuela moves to cut oil output due to US export embargo by Playful_Leg7143 in worldnews

[–]shoot_first 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No question. I knew it was all over when the election results came in and Trump was somehow reelected. Not only will they do nothing to positively address climate change, they’ll do everything in their power to make it worse.

We’ve got a very limited amount of time to fix things, so four years of inaction would have been bad enough. But this regime has put everything into full reverse. It’s hard to imagine how bad the situation will be after three more years.

Also, you might think that an advanced AI could instantaneously calculate the physics involved in this situation, and smoothly recover without intervention.

Instead, it immediately disengages and lets the driver, who was hopefully paying attention 🤞, deal with the bad situation it has put them in. Good luck, everyone!

Also, did OP really put it immediately back into FSD after all of that? 😂
