**Here in Midland, Texas, the Last Thing Anyone Wants Is Cheap Venezuelan Oil** Tariffs have pushed up the cost of materials like chemicals and steel tubes, Midland oil executives say. As new wells get delayed, workers at oil-services firms are laid off or see their hours cut. “We’re definitely not drilling right now,” Sell said. Kyle Patterson, engineering manager at local drilling-fluid company Buckeye, said the company had to lay off around 10% of its staff over the past year. “You can’t just sit around and wait for the market to come back,” Patterson said. He wouldn’t be surprised if his own pay is cut soon and is cutting back on travel and restaurant meals. The number of operating rigs in the Permian Basin is down 14% over the past year, according to analytics company Enverus. Cash-strapped workers spend less at local businesses, hurting the local economy.

History lesson far beyond the level of our administration populated by podcasters, grifters, and scum. "I’ve been made aware how Thucydides the Greek affects current American policy - only with the wrong lessons learned. It used to be one of the pillars of Classical education; however, certain ranking officials have only read a few quotes from Thucydides’ _“History of the Peloponnesian War”_ to their detriment. Thucydides is the author of the infamous quote “The strong do what they could, the weak suffer what they must.” However, that was not the point of Thucydides - it was the warning! Exactly _because_ Athens bullied their allies in the spirit of this quote and scared them into submission and ‘alliance treaties’ by threatening invasion, blockade or slavery, all their ‘allies’ abandoned them at the time of Athens’ darkest hour and switched sides to Syracuse, which was the beginning of the end for the Athens’ sea-faring empire! Reminiscent of something? So I bought the book, for I admire the Jeffersonian classically-educated true elites although I’m not. And lo and behold - ever since the beginning, it’s a story eerily reminiscent of our times! Comfortable nations choosing to pay the Athens alliance ‘_in treasure rather than in ships, so the Athens build ships from their allies treasure and when they threatened them, the allies had neither ships nor military experience_’. Ancient superpowers backstabbing and losing allies over arrogance or dishonored treaties. And so forth, so forth. History repeating itself all over again." ---
