Escobar: How Trump's Oily Dreams May Collapse In A Venezuelan Dark Pit
Authored by Pepe Escobar,
So the Big Oil Picture in Venezuela is way more complex than the Trump 2.0 gang suspects...
Let's start with neo-Caligula's new edicts on the imperial satrapy he says he now owns; not exactly edicts but outright threats directed to interim President Delcy Rodriguez:
Crack down on “drug trafficking flows”. Well, this should actually be directed to Colombian and Mexican smugglers in cahoots with big American buyers.
Expel Iranian, Cuban, and other “operatives hostile to Washington” – before Caracas is allowed to increase oil production. Not happening.
Halt oil sales to “US adversaries”. Not happening.
Hence it becomes a near certainty that neo-Caligula may bomb Venezuela again.
Neo-Caligula, in a separate motormouth offensive, also clarified that he wants to somewhat overhaul the oil business in Venezuela via subsidies. It “could take less than 18 months”; then it mo...

Changing tastes: China′s new affluent consumers seek quality not extravagance (SCMP)
|
|
|
In a premium supermarket in Shanghai one recent weekend, 33-year-old information technology specialist Zhao Wenyu paused in front of the health food aisle, comparing protein content and ingredient lists on imported granola and organic milk – rather than checking discounts.
Zhao now spends around 3,000 yuan (US$420) a month on organic food, nutritional supplements and functional beverages, up from about 1,200 yuan three years ago. “I don't mind paying more if I am satisfied with the product's......

These Are The World's Top Silver Producers
Silver prices surged more than 5% in recent trading, breaking above $80 per ounce once again.
The rally has been driven by China's restrictions on silver exports, rising demand from green technologies like solar power, and renewed interest in safe-haven assets.
This visualization, via Visual Capitalist's Bruno Venditti, highlights the world's largest silver-producing countries and shows where global supply is most concentrated.
The data for this visualization comes from the U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Commodity Summaries 2025. It presents estimated silver mine production by country for 2024.
Mexico's Production Dominance
Total world silver production reached roughly 25,000 metric tons in 2024.
Mexico remained the world's top silver producer in 2024, with an estimated 6,300 metric tons of output. The country has held this position for decades, supported by extensive mining infrastructure and high-grade deposits. Notably, Mexico produces ...

Amazon Is Ditching The United States Postal Service
After nearly three decades of working together, Amazon is ending its delivery relationship with the United States Postal Service, a move that significantly alters how packages are moved across the country, according to MSN.
The partnership once played a major role in Amazon's rapid expansion while generating billions in yearly revenue for USPS. The decision comes as the Postal Service continues to struggle financially, including a reported $9.5 billion loss in its most recent fiscal year.
For much of Amazon's growth, USPS provided nationwide coverage, especially in rural and remote areas where private carriers often cannot operate profitably. That reach allowed Amazon to deliver to virtually every address in the country, making the arrangement one of the largest public-private logistics partnerships in U.S. history. Recent contract negotiations and changes to USPS pricing appear to have pushed Amazon toward a different approach. Instead of ...
