MY COUNTRY (MEXICO) HAS A PUBLICLY OWNED OIL COMPANY.
A MOVE WAS MADE TO SELL OUR OIL WELLS TO FOREIGN COMPANIES, BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSEDLY RUNNING OUT, AND ONLY FOREIGNERS HAD THE TECHNOLOGY TO PROPERLY EXTRACT FROM THEM...
lo and behold...
THE WEEK AFTER HIS ADMINISTRATION LEFT, thereby meaning that leasing of oil extraction regions to foreign companies was canceled, AN ASS-LOAD OF OIL DEPOSITS WERE """""UNCOVERED""""".
This obviously means that the government knew about the oil, and was pretending not to so that they could sell of leasing rights (of which every major government figure involved would get a cut of under the table).
If my 3rd world shit-hole government can get away with creating fake scarcity, do you really think oil companies are being honest about their reserve numbers?
They have all the reason to lie:
>they can sell the oil more expensively>they can get subsidized by the government to "lower the prices for consumers">governments can loan them money to invest in newer extraction technologyAnd absolutely no reason to not lie.
Wake up, anon's, resource scarcity if fucking hog-wash.
Is the conduct of oil companies really what you'd expect of a company that knows their business will end in 30 years?
