Interesting reading with numbers for some other locals in the area. I liked the part on who they are turning to for "help" with the problem.

Posted because not far from MDE and does mention Bogota, and stuff like this has a tendency to spread, if the core problems is not addressed

I appreciate the link, even more that Brother XMan00 put it in a more accessible Forum than, say, one of the VIP Forums--wider exposure of the info.

I can understand Cuba being low, but from what I have read other places I was under the impression Nicaragua was going in the other direction fast with the Leader of Nicaragua more interested in using the police the same way Venezuela fruit cake uses his. :evil:

I have met a large family of Venezuelans who left Venezuela a year ago, abandoning all their property. They fled, seeking a better life here. So far, they are doing well. The dangers in Venezuela are real and we are not very popular there with the masses.

What a common play from the "demonize the Gringo" playbook to excuse the enforced collapse of a previously vibrant economy brought low by autocratic statism. And worse is he leading others by charisma, petro-dollars or other force, down the same inevitably bankrupt path. Hey! and all this from a liberal/quasi-socialist. To be blunt: Guys like me hate Chavez-types worse than more conservative folks because he has sold out and perverted our ideals, and of course the progressive folks in Venezuela.
