That’s my point. America actually has roughly 10 times as much oil as Norway, but in Norway everyone benefits from the oil rather than just a handful of mega-rich oil barons.
USA also has about 60 times as many people as Norway. The USA certainly has an above-average amount of natural resources per capita, but it’s not quite “swimming in oil”-level.
The US citizens are definitely not oil wealthy.

Oh wow, I knew Venezuela was rich in oil, but damn!
IIRC Venezuela’s oil is both a bit shit, and hard to get at but they have huge amounts. That’s why they’re not as rich as UAE
Honestly, it’s incredible that it took the US so long to invade them.
