Local residents in Venezuela staged further protests on Monday as the failed socialist country now appears to be running out of clean water. Multiple groups of demonstrators blocked highways around the capital of Caracas to protest the lack of clean water supplies.

On the Avenida Baralt in central Caracas, protesters complained that they had not received water for two days and, as a result, were forced to use stagnant water, exposing them to infectious diseases.

“At 7:05 am we are in Santa Teresa area of Glorieta protesting for water. #CaracasWantsWater,” wrote local councilor Jesús Armas on Twitter. “The residents of Santa Teresa are raising their voice and exercising their rights, the only way to pressure @HIDROCAPITALca to do their jobs is to activate as citizens.”

"The lack of clean water is the latest in a string mass shortages experienced in Venezuela under the rule of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro. Access to basic resources from food to medicine is now extremely limited, mainly as a result of hyperinflation that has rendered its Bolivar country as practically worthless. Based on real worth exchange rates, the country’s minimum wage is roughly equivalent to one dollar ($1) a month."

Malnourished children without medical care forced to drink unsafe drinking water.

That is what socialism is in real life.

Venezuela, once one of the richest and most beautiful countries and most modern in all of South America, has become a pauper and a disgrace for all the world to see.

Soon those responsible will have their Day of Reckoning. It will not be pretty.................

I have worked in water treatment and distribution. There really is no magic or hard work there. Just keep the water treatment plants operational and the supply system sending water to homes.

Please, tell me, how can socialism screw this up?

The place is turning into little more than a spanish speaking, nation sized death camp.
