    Lol imagine nationalizing a widely used commodity to help manage inflation of costs being a bad thing.

        Like shit, fossil fuels suck because they aren't renewable. But they are unfortunately a reality of the present and loads of people rely on it atm. How can a country just sit back and let all of that profit go to waste?! I bet they don't even profit off of insulin!

      i like how they're sending in their tejano shills to complain about it instead of the majority white leadership; i bet cuellar wouldn't do it anyways if it he didn't already know he's a useful idiot for these people.
