I think this is a weird way of doing it. If I understand correctly, the jump in Ballmer's line at the end of his tenure (i.e. approaching Feb 2014) is an artificial jump that you as the data visualizer caused by forcing the Ballmer line to go back to where the Nasaq's line is at so that Nadella's portion of the line gets a equal starting point to Nasdaq, yes? The price didn't actually jump up at end of Ballmer's tenure like that, right? That's deceptive, if so, even if the visualization is captioned to try to explain it.
I would've just made two different charts and then put them side by side. One for Ballmer vs Nasaq and a second for Nadella vs Nasdaq. That way you get the intended effect without that unintended deception.

By 2012, Venezuela had nationalized the oil, gas, electricity, telecommunications, food, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and finance sectors of the economy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-election-nationalizations/factbox-venezuelas-nationalizations-under-chavez-idUSBRE89701X20121008
Norway's Equinor is 33% owned by Hedge funds, like Black Rock. https://www.equinor.com/investors/our-shareholders
And Bolivia was able to Build a skyscraper for the President to live in with all that money from nationalizing the gas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Grande_del_Pueblo#/media/File:Plaza_Murillo_.jpg
The largest tin producer in Malaysia is Malaysia Smelting Company, which has never been nationalized, and is owned by private investors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Trading_Company

This is similar to what I do. I cook 2-3 times per week for dinner. Each time I cook there are leftovers for 1-2 additional dinners. Lunches (or breakfast, I only do two meals per day) are also very cheap for me.

For those curious, it's something like multiply by 940 and you'll get an equivalent in dollars.

First ever cancellation of the Super Bowl, that way both teams can say they were ‘robbed’ of their Super Bowl forever

I'm sorry you don't understand that the government is a national entity that can dedicate funds toward national benefit. The concept probably isn't lost on you for thinks like infrastructure and defense?

>Imagine if everyone in the country benefitted from oil production instead of just a handful of oil executives and shareholders. That would be TERRIBLE
PDVSA, Venezuela's national oil company, only has one shareholder. The government of Venezuela owns PDVSA, all of it.

I am sorry you had to find out this way.

The economic sanctions against Venezuela were super sneaky!
The first economic sanctions occurred in Aug 2017 - https://www.wlrn.org/news/2017-08-25/u-s-imposes-first-economic-sanctions-against-venezuela
But these were no ordinary sanctions! These sanctions travelled back in time to 2011 to cause Venezuela to starve way back then! https://www.cnn.com/2011/12/13/world/americas/venezuela-food-shortages/index.html
Even though oil prices were at some of the highest in recorded history, Venezuela was still starving, which is impossible! https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart
Then The CIA hacked Venezuela's currency printer, increased their money supply by 1,000,000%, causing the world's highest hyperinflation. http://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/rngs/VENEZUELA-ECONOMY/010040800HY/index.html

Absolutely. Doofus Chavez has personally guaranteed that production is higher.

Over 7 million Venezuelans have achieved Freedom, by leaving Venezuela. https://www.unhcr.org/en-us/venezuela-emergency.html
Venezuela has very little strategic significance. The country is not "on the way" to anywhere. No vital sea lanes etc. Just a bunch of sour oil.
The Middle East is different. The Middle East sits at the crossroads to 3 continents, and is a vital chokepoint for the entire Eastern Hemisphere. Which is why great powers have been fighting over the area for thousands of years.
Also, the United States didn't steal a drop of Iraq's oil, unless the soldiers were sneaking it out in their canteens.
Exactly Zero US companies won any contracts when Iraq auctioned off their oil fields. https://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1948787,00.html

That would have been my guess, although it’s a bit mean IMO, but according to my grandfather it’s “tink". I’m not sure it really translates now that classy people don’t use silly euphemisms so much.

Data
The data used in this visualization comes from Infegy, a consumer intelligence platform that gathers, analyzes, and presents information from billions of social media posts. The list of bands was obtained from a publicly available source on GitHub.
Visualization
The process of the visualization involves searching for posts about the Red Hot Chili Peppers (RHCP) and analyzing the data to find the top 50 bands mentioned in these posts. For each of these 50 bands, the process is repeated to find the other bands they are connected with. The connection between two bands is represented by an edge, and the strength of the edge reflects how often they are mentioned together.
The results show that The Beatles are at the center of all the connections, confirming their strong influence. Additionally, the data reveals that the Rock cluster is separated from the Alternative and Pop clusters.
Tools
The tools used for this visualization include Python and its libraries Pandas and PyVis.

Housing is quite cheap. I have a small 2br, 1 bath house. The above percentage for mortgage + taxes is with a couple thousand in extra payments to the principle as well.
