Iffier’n hell. Even if rainstorms fill the reservoirs, they cant get the tools and supplies to do even routine maintenance on any of their infrastructure, including hydro power.
Let us not forget that Venezuelans got the form of government that they voted for. They must feel the bern of their choice. If they don’t feel the bern good and hard, they will go right back to socialism once sufficient outside resources are made available to them.
That is the very nature of socialism: socialism destroys the price signal in the economy by government edict. Without being able to know what things cost to make, nobody can know how much they must be sold for. Without profit, assets are consumed. Without assets, no new goods can be created.
So of course it is almost redundant to say that the country is on the brink of famine and the country has no working economy. Socialism can only function when it can access outside resources that make up for the resources that are destroyed by the effect of the socialist government policies.
Completely understandable.
Stay safe, my FRiend.
Once Freedom is lost. You never get it back.
Will Obama invade?
“Once Freedom is lost. You never get it back.”
Well, not without bloodshed. That’ why the left wants so desperately to disarm us.
“All of the conditions for a successful popular uprising to overthrow the Maduro regime already exist. Venezuela does NOT need, and is not asking, the International community to actively intervene. What it DOES need, and IS asking for, is that the International Community recognize the truth, condemn the existing regime, and acknowledge its lack of constitutionality and democratic legitimacy. When the Opposition controlled National Assembly declares that the president and supreme court are unconstitutional, they need the International Community to understand why, and to not call it a “Coup” and support the illegitimate regime, such as occurred in Honduras.”
I just imagine Obola will “jump right on this matter, not!” In the meantime Travis, stay safe! The US won’t be able to help Venezuela until mid-January next year.
As the Venezuelan people begin to die like flies—still no criticism of Socialism from Bergoglio.
Bernie supporters: “Let’s make America Venezuela!” Ber-NIE! Ber-NIE!
Take care, please.
Paging Danny Glover...
Somewhere in past days saw a reference to commerce occurring cross border, farmers selling in neighboring countries, using another countries currency($-?) for all transactions. Whomever is controlling border traffic must be aware, if not fostering this for a percentage.
The next likely power block in the country may well coalesce from this border region.
Bill Microsoft (can’t remember his real last name, think I’m loosing my memory) tried sending a million chickens to poor families in some Central or South American nation which refused the chickens because they considered it an insult as there were all ready a thriving poultry industry in their country. So why doesn’t he send them to Venezuela, instead?
Twas Bill Gates. He was donating 100,000 chicks, which is really not very many. Enough to supply maybe 15,000 families with egg-layers, and considerably less people than that if they were raising them for meat as well as eggs.
It wouldn’t be enough for Grundy County, TN.
I sort of agree. I think we already passed the point of no return. I’m not sure how much longer we’ll go I hope it is at least 2 years, but preferably longer.
Gives more time to get ready. If I was rich enough, I’d already be done. Have been getting ready bit by bit during the last decade.
Always.
Thanks.
Socialism the the crime of the century.
If there’s nothing in it for me, why should I bother to plant, raise and harvest more than my own family and circle of friends needs?
The Mexicans, Hondurans, Guats, etc. as well.
