One of the worlds biggest oil producers has to import refined fuel! That's Agent Cob's socialist utopia for you!

The biggest oil producing country in the world is the USA.

In 2019, the United States imported about 9.10 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of petroleum from nearly 90 countries. Petroleum includes crude oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids, refined petroleum products such as gasoline and diesel fuel, and biofuels (including ethanol and biodiesel). Crude oil imports of about 6.79 MMb/d accounted for about 75% U.S. total gross petroleum imports in 2019, and non-crude oil petroleum accounted for about 25% of total gross petroleum imports.

TheChair, shot yourself in the foot there, Bolzanaro is nowhere near to being a Conservative.
On 22 July 2018, Bolsonaro was officially nominated by the Social Liberal Party (PSL) as its presidential candidate for the 2018 election.

it's about Bolsonaro. Nature red in tooth and claw.

"Brazil’s president has taken an approach that is strikingly similar to that of Mr Trump — but even more irresponsible and dangerous. Both leaders have become obsessed with the supposedly curative properties of the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine. But while Mr Trump is merely taking it himself, Mr Bolsonaro has forced the Brazilian health ministry to issue new guidelines, recommending the drug for coronavirus patients. The US president has squabbled with his scientific advisers. But Mr Bolsonaro has sacked one health minister and provoked his replacement to resign. Mr Trump has expressed sympathy for anti-lockdown protesters; Mr Bolsonaro has addressed their rallies.

Sadly, Brazil is already paying a high price for its president’s antics — and things are getting worse fast. Coronavirus hit Brazil relatively late. But the country has the second-highest infection rate in the world and the sixth-highest recorded Covid-19 deaths"

There are 38 Dominic Cummins threads to choose from...why not go to one of them to bore people to death?

Danny, he's a populist like Trump. Wikipedia describes the party as "economically liberal, nationalist, radically anti-communist and social conservative" and that sounds about right.

[ToraToraTora]

maybe someone should start another DC thread, sounds like diddly needs a fix.

[Mozz71]

I'm not convinced she can be fixed.

[ynnafymmi]

He also sounds like Sturgeon,Jno.All the same characteristics apply to her also.

Too far left will bring out the right.

Too far right will bring out the left.

Somewhere in the middle is where we should be but people have been blinded by free stuff for too long to look to the middle.

No country can give as much away as everyone wants. What you have to have is the incentive to build the economy while addressing the main issues of society.

Build people up and you need less free stuff.

Free stuff should be the last resort.
