Venezuela’s New Leader Is the Oil Industry’s Long-Time Ally

She appears to be no different from Maduro. I wonder how long before she's removed from the office?

I wish that "Talking Heads" were as smart as weathermen. Weathermen couch their predictions with percentages. They've learned that they don't have sufficient information to predict weather with absolute confidence. When they say "there's a 50% chance of rain tomorrow," they're saying that 50% of the time when we see data such as we see today, it rains the next day. And those whose livelihoods depend on the weather (farmers, painters, sailors, et al) can make economic decisions based on those percentages and expect economic results with the same degree of accuracy. Now comes John Bolton predicting the future behavior of Venezuela's new leaders based on their past behavior without taking into account that the Sword of Damocles is now hanging over their heads...

She'll do what she has to do to not get arrested or droned. The only question is how long she can delay elections without exhausting our patience.
