The US learned from oil crisis of the β70s. Theyβve increased their production & became self-sufficient. Now imagine AB separating & striking a deal w the US.
The immediate result wb US oil companies halting funding of environmental groups. 1/6
This happened to me but I was my momβs advocate while she was hospitalized following a stroke. The physiotherapist asked me to step out. I told her I was not leaving, that I was my momβs advocate. She had a hissy fit & left w/o doing the therapy.
Took my 11-year-old daughter to a checkup today.
The nurse asked me to step out of the room.
I politely said no.
She said, "It's only for a moment."
I replied:
"My husband and I don't leave our children alone with anyone, including medical providers. Anything you need to say can be said with me here."
She looked annoyed and left.
The part that stuck with me?
As soon as she walked out, my daughter thanked me for staying.
Her eyes got huge the moment the nurse asked me to leave.
Maybe I'm overprotective.
But I'd rather be present and unnecessary than absent and regret it.
