Gee, ya' think? That is a massive understatement.
Maduro has run off 3.4 million of his own people to nearby countries and others, like the US.
Why? The people are leaving Venezuela due to horrendous living conditions and hardships that are a direct result of failed socialist policies.
They include government corruption, rampant crime in the streets, food and medicine shortages that have left grocery store shelves empty and hospital with no drugs to treat people with. People are literally starving to death.
Hyperinflation, which hit 2.3 million percent in February 2019 has caused their currency to become worthless.
This is the same socialism that politicians in our own country are pushing. Those who support it simply do not understand the realities of socialism. It sounds good on paper but in the real world, things go south quickly.
But the Venezuelans are very familiar with the realities of socialism and its failure to produce a thriving economy as promised by the Marxists.
I know what the current conditions in Venezuela are; my point is it’s on THEM to rectify those issues themselves.
The longer that country agonizes over its decisions to adopt socialism, the better likelihood of success for those who reject it.
