@pareekhjain 60k / 27% claim appears to be a substantial exaggeration or conflation of cumulative/prior actions, rumors, or misreported eligibility. The real story is more modest voluntary U.S.-focused early retirement offers earlier in 2026, followed by ongoing (but smaller-percentage)
Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela was negotiated in secret. Now we know why. The contract just leaked, and it doesn’t say what Trump says it says.
What it does say is that we bought 35 percent of a company for a penny a share. The company is run by Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan businessman who’s been investigated for money laundering in Switzerland, Spain, and the United States. DOJ officials reportedly asked foreign governments to close those investigations and let him travel.
The parent company is registered through a Barbados shell, so nobody can see who the other owners are. Any dispute goes to a court in Texas. One person involved said it was built to insulate the deal from future administrations.
The company pumps about 200,000 barrels a day. America burns through that in 15 minutes. If this were a good deal, they wouldn’t have had to hide it. I break it all down in today’s show (link in reply).

Many moons ago, a wise client told me:
“I don’t know the secret to happiness, but I know how to avoid misery. Never play the victim. Every time you find yourself asking, ‘Why me?’, ask yourself, ‘Far worse random s**t happens to people. So why not me?’”
This is the single most valuable piece of advice I’ve received.

देशभक्ति और पार्टी भक्ति में बहुत फर्क होता है। देशभक्ति आपको हर उस पार्टी और व्यक्ति के ख़िलाफ़ आवाज़ उठाने पर मजबूर कर देती है जो देश हित से परे है। पार्टी भक्ति में आप सिर्फ़ पार्टी के हित का सोचते हो देश का नहीं।
