Dying infants, chronic power outages and empty shelves mark the world's worst-performing economy
CARACAS, Venezuela--In a hospital in the far west of this beleaguered country, the economic crisis took a grim toll in the past week: Six infants died because there wasn't enough medicine or functioning respirators.
Here in the capital, the crisis has turned ordinary life into an ordeal for nearly everyone. Chronic power outages have prompted the government to begin rationing electricity, darkening shopping malls. Homes and apartments regularly suffer water shortages.
Rosalba Castellano, 74 years old, spent hours this week in what has become a desperate routine for millions: waiting in long lines to buy whatever food is available. She walked away with just two liters of cooking oil.

The erors were intentchunal, becuz liberal idiots are idiots.
GREAT re-working of that image - thanks!!!
Since leftism has many, many brand names...is it possible to change “Liberal Idiot” to “Leftist Idiot”?

BUT IT’S IN THE VOICE OF A LIBERAL IDIOT.
Sheesh, I can’t believe this discussion.
Copy the title into Google and then click on the resulting link. It bypasses the pay wall.
“I want to know why the Venezuelan stock market is up quite a bit for the year.”
It was up during the entire time of the so-called “Great Depression” too. Liberal policies create depressions as they take the fuel for growth and economic energy and they cause loss of faith in the economy so few invest in it by building businesses.
You can also use InkScape for vector images.
Thanks!!!!
I’m downloading GIMP - looks easy to use.
Thanks again - very much appreciated!
One thing to know... to save a file as a JPG or PNG or GIF, you have to 'export' it from the native XCF that the Gimp saves in. Older versions let you simply save with the extensions.
Here's a GIF I made with 'The Gimp':
I was also able to delete and reorder frames (using the GIMP) to make this one from the image above:
