Biden Administration Preparing to Grant License to Chevron to Drill for Oil in Venezuela
Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to allow Chevron to drill for oil in Venezuela, even as energy prices are skyrocketing in the United States despite our wealth of natural resources. Just the News reports:Amid still-elevated gas prices, Biden prepares to give Chevron license to pump oil in Venezuela The Biden administration is preparing to grant an oil-pumping license for Chevron to extract oil from Venezuelan fields, a move reportedly contingent upon the Venezuelan government’s adopting of a new humanitarian program. The White House “is poised to grant a license to Chevron Corp. to pump oil in Venezuela,” the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, echoing numerous other media reports. The move would allow Chevron “partial control of its oil-production and maintenance activities in dilapidated Venezuelan oil fields,” the outlet reported. The Biden administration is doing this on purpose.

Brazil Restores Mandatory Masks On Airplanes, At Airports
Brazil has reinstated its mandatory mask rules at airports and on airplanes. Mandatory Mask Rule Returns On Airplanes, At Airports In BrazilEarlier this week, ANVISA, Brazil’s health authority, announced the new regulation, which went into effect on November 25, 2022. This comes after Brazil lifted its travel mask mandate in August, over two years after it was introduced. As a small consolation, this time Brazil has not banned meal service on domestic flights, as it did during the pandemic. Even with seasonal upticks in cases, I believe masks should be optional at this point in 2022.

Elon Musk Says He'll Create 'Alternative' Smartphone If Apple, Google Battles Go Awry
Elon Musk said Friday he’d create an “alternative” smartphone if Apple and Google remove Twitter, which he bought for $44 billion last month, from their app stores. “I certainly hope it does not come to that, but, yes, if there is no other choice, I will make an alternative phone,” the billionaire tweeted in response to a suggestion from right-wing personality Liz Wheeler. AdvertisementWhether Musk actually follows through on his promise depends on how Twitter’s relationship with Apple and Google develops in the coming weeks and months. The CEO’s staunch commitment to “free speech” on his platform (which has led to the reinstatement of controversial accounts, such as that of former President Donald Trump) in a bid to boost revenue has sparked speculation that Twitter could be pulled from app stores. And Musk recently complained about fees charged by the tech giants for digital sales.

Can Manchester United Investors Finally Make Their Goal?
The Glazer family, who purchased Manchester United in 2005, have shown no interest in selling the club during their 17 years of ownership.
