re: “Exxon CEO calls Venezuela ‘uninvestable’ without ‘significant changes’”

Most constitutions don’t allow enforcement against the sovereign. If you get a judgment against a state government, for example, your lawyer can’t legally enforce it because of the constitutional prohibition.
That is true. But, it’s also the reason there isn’t anyone within Venezuela’s borders willing to help. It’s also the reason Argentina’s navy couldn’t leave its own shores without someone seizing its ships.

Moreover, what in the hell are Conoco and Exxon going to do to stop other companies from producing? Not a damn thing!
If Venezuelan trade is normalized, those companies have billions in outstanding judgments. Paul Singer has been chasing and seizing Argentine property for years. It’s unlikely the rest of the world’s debtor nations will allow a mulligan for Venezuela.

Venezuela is the largest reserves in the world. We aren’t talking minor leagues here, we’re talking about investing in the all stars of the bigs.
You’re conveniently ignoring a half century of claims against those seized assets. I highly doubt ConocoPhillips or Exxon will willingly allow another company step in before they are compensated for 50 years of prior investments.

Considering Huey Long’s family is still receiving royalties from Louisiana’s oil, it’s hard to believe anyone believes investing in Venezuela is sound.

So many people have seen Asian AI guy that there is big money being spent to discredit him. He gets inconsequential minutiae wrong, occasionally, but he is generally right.
Minutiae? Like bank failures, fed bailouts, and London exchange going dark, China banning exports…
The rest is regurgitated sentiment MT people have been venting about for the better part of a decade. Asian Guy just repackages it to lead viewers to conclude this is their GME moment.

No. But I noticed it got some previously accurate information (about a family member) wrong. Somewhere along the line someone posted wrong information and it got reposted so often Grok thinks it's fact, when it's absolutely inaccurate.
This is also a common tactic to fight AI. If it fails to get easily confirmed information correct, users inherently dismiss the rest of the summary.

I think he’s overcompensating. Think how pissed you ‘d be if you got fired after a national championship and were paid $19mil... Then the guy that gets fired after you gets $50mil for some cheezit bowls.

Hard to follow this logic. A person’s most significant investment is the home over their head. They’re going to find a way to keep a roof on it.
Yet on the other end of the spectrum, the argument ignored is every story about people willing to pay the 100% increases include a narrative about a health condition that requires treatments that exceed any premium increase. That is the scenario that breaks an industry.

Let’s be honest, she’d fail an OT midgrade thread in her prime. He had nowhere to go but up. On the other hand she was definitely an upgrade from Ivana.

The story does seem so contrived that suspension of belief in reality is necessary.
But, a surreptitious story about their VP collecting the $50mil reward which also resulted in a promotion to the president was going to be a hard sell for the communications department.

The entire place went full circle in record time. Just last year the overwhelming sentiment went from no foreign aid for anyone and declaring we are not the world police to cheering the Monroe Doctrine and propping the Argentinian banking system.
