People talk like every follower sees everything you post.
That's not how social media works.
Most people who see one of your posts will never see another one.
You're not interrupting someone's day over & over.
You're crossing paths once.
Unless you're me, I'm everywhere. 🤣

The Pentagon exists to defend the country, not to buy a 35% stake in a private oil company. Venezuela's own constitution requires deals like this to be approved by its National Assembly. Nobody approved this one.
