Chavez’s policies have been praised by Sean Penn, Oliver Stone, Naomi Campbell, Michael Moore, Don King, Noam Chomsky, and Danny Glover...
THE DEEP THINKERS OF OUR AGE!!
The Communist diet NEVER fails.
Drat, and we just barely missed this utopia for ourselves by unwisely rejecting Hillary! /s
A few years ago, I corresponded with a young Venezuelan man who was getting a masters degree in petroleum engineering. As part of his master’s program, he had to learn English. His English was very good, much better than some native speakers. I told him that I could not tell from the way he writes that he is not American (although he told me that if I heard him speak, I would know). I wonder how he is doing these days.

Ping.
The little story that has ALWAYS been true for the past 50 years is that ALL STARVATION in the world is caused by politics in some way...and this is no exception.
In other words, even if a country is screwed up, if it has a government that is willing to stay out of the way, its people will get fed, either from domestic production, international aid, or both.
This is sickening to watch...but whether we want to admit it or not, this is the END GAME of Socialism. The money is dry, but the government will still not let go. And to preppers here (me included), this has been going on for at least 2 years now in this country. Try adding up the amount of food needed to survive that long...very difficult - you need a shipping container’s worth, just for one family, if not more. Sometimes it’s just better to leave (if you can), until things improve.
And here’s a real article from a reputable source:

The soldiers in those pictures look well fed enough.
They have enough pounds to spare for the starving people they are arresting.
We so dodged the bullet this last election.
All glory to God.
Should have read:
“If it wasn’t for them, this sale would not have been possible necessary.”
A great recap of what ills Venezuela. Anyone who thinks Bernie is a some sort of cool old dude who will give you free college had damn well better understand what socialism is.
And if it is not understood, to read ‘The Wilder Shores of Marx’.
Lastly, if anyone hasn’t got down on their knees in a while and prayed to God with heartfelt thanks that they live here and beg for his continued blessings on us - please do so today.
