A Butterfly Effect Indeed
A Butterfly Effect Indeed7-Eleven dropped Citgo as its gas supplier after 20 years of partnership. Know why they did it? Well, a big reason was because Hugo Chavez likes to hear the sound of his own voice. After calling President Bush a "devil" and an "alcoholic", 7-Eleven decided it would be best not to continue their partnership with Venezuela-backed Citgo Petroleum.
The "official" reason is that Citgo wants to make room for its own new supply of gasoline. However, I think we all know the real reason.
As for the comments that Chavez made. Well, I leave that for you to decide.
