typical stage of communism that ends. now the question is: how it will end ?
Venezuela had its own unique version of central planned economy, which mixed with Carribean/ Latin mentality....appeared to be total disaster
add to that their love/approval for violence since centuries (its in their mentality) and you have what you have.....

Politicians now working 2 days a week due to electric outages. So beautiful country with cheap gas but stores are bare, internet sucks, electric outages, likely to get shot for any cell phone as robbery/murder seems normal. She wants to come back for a vacation soon so might have her another 3 months. |
