It’s a thread because:
1. Venezuela is a show case of what happens in command-control economies, i.e., socialism as it devolves
2. It is a major player in the oil market and OPEC member
3. The article concerns politics, a staple here, and is one of a long-running history of such articles here detailing for anyone who wishes to look what happens when socialism/communism overtakes a country
4. Venezuelans (the female ones) are the cutest on the planet.
5. It will be happening here in this country in a few years if the GOP nominates another RINO squish and we end up with Elizabeth Warren as our POTUS.
