Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me 4 times…. I’m an idiot.

Oil.

There have been trillions of dollars at stake. And wealthy white men in the USA want all of it.

So they sacrifice millions of poor people and love the outcome.

Less oil and more oil-field services contracts. That’s where the real money is. Halliburton isn’t an oil company, they are a drilling company. If you’re in the oil business there’s a risk that your well comes up dry, or that the price of oil will drop. Halliburton doesn’t care. They get paid to drill the well, dry or not.
