I have no sympathy. They reelected Nicolás Maduro just recently. They get what they deserve.
Venezuelans are too stupid to do anything about it. They elected Chavez and Maduro. They are getting exactly what they wanted. Let them starve.
.……..and labor unions and corrupt politicians on St. Croix shot the finger at the owners of the refinery every single morning just for fun...…….
I know this because this is what they told me face to face. This plant could have stayed open but for the embedded Marxist Socialists in control down there. The owners and managers just finally said ‘to hell with it” and closed it.
People who voted against them and still tolerate the situation without putting a bullet in some politicians, are not victims. They are complicit. Let them starve.

Easy. Look, bookies have raked in money for decades. Socialist New York State’s state run off-track betting needs to be subsidized. Venezuela has petroleum reserves that are among the highest in the world (if not the actual HIGHEST). Socialism, both in theory, and in practice is the road to oblivion itself. We have countless examples of this, yet, it continues to recruit new adherents.
Easy.
1) No money for water treatment chemicals.
2) No money for replacement parts.
3) No money to pay staff, so they stop showing up.
The socialists have to use what money they have to keep their thugs happy. The leadership grabs most of what's left to stash away in Lichtenstein.
Socialism is a scam where articulate people scam stupid people into thinking they will get lots of free stuff if they just support the scammers.
That would make MY head explode!
The last thing the US needs is another hell-hole to prop up.
Don't get me started on making Puerto Rico a State.
Baby Doc.
Please, tell me, how can socialism screw this up?
Take out socially unreliable managers/technicians
and replace them with party apparatchnicks...
“Please, tell me, how can socialism screw this up?”
well, you need reliable power to run the filtration plants, you need numerous chemicals to carry out the filtration, pH balancing, and disinfection processes, expert people who reliably show up to work to operate the filtration plants, and spare parts for maintenance of the raw water input system and potable water distribution systems, as well as maintenance workers to maintain said systems.
given the near-complete collapse of everything in that nation, my guess is that everything mentioned above is deficient or missing altogether now ...
“Venezuela ... the failed socialist country now appears to be running out of clean water”
They wanted Hugo Chavez. He started running a rich oil company into a toilet. And now Chavez II (Maduro) is finishing off the job.
I feel for the Venezuelans who voted against these two dictators. As to the ones who were stupid enough to vote for them: I know you’re stupid but surely even with a low IQ you can learn something from this fiasco.
“rich oil company” = “rich oil country”.
Let them drink salt water.
Waiting for the military to take over
His REAL name is Nicholas Manure-o.
