But it will work in America because we have Obama, who once worked at a Baskin Robbins.
If I’m not mistaken I’ve heard he was fired soon after he started because he gave his friends free ice cream.
There is an extreme shortage of toilet paper in Venezuela. It’s not a big problem as there also is an extreme shortage of food, too.
“I blame the Dunning-Kruger Effect. There is no other reasonable explanation.
Okay, I had to look that up - and you’re right, nothing else says it like that...”
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote, “Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.” Sounds similar to the DK effect to me.
I read the other day that the purpose of books is to slap us down when we think we’ve had an original thought.
That notwithstanding, I figured out the second part of the DK effect for myself. Astoundingly (to me) I have had a number of frustrating arguments with people who were absolutely, even bitterly, unwilling to consider the possibility that they were overestimating others. When I proposed that they were mistaken to assume “that tasks that are easy for them are also easy for others” (Wikipedia), most of them seemed to take it as a personal affront. This is a mystery to me, since the premise underlying my argument is that these people are a lot smarter, or more capable in some area(s), than many others.
Yes...the reality does not fit the MSM Narrative, so it is ignored.
That's what they tell their people. And around half of them buy it.
Why shouldn't they?
Obama and kerry tell us it's all our fault too. Enough of us bought it to re-elect obama.
Ummm, no.
There are enough muslims in the UN they just might vote in a world wide ban.
Jimmah Carter?
The people who rule Venezuela are richer than ever. The same goes for other basket cases like Zimbabwe. I think American politicians have taken note.
Yes, everything evil or stupid that foreign people do to themselves is the fault of the US. : )
These people elected leftists out of covetousness and everyone knows (who knows history) that Marxism ends in the same sad and deadly outcome. They broke one of the big ten and there are consequences for giving yourself and your Nation over to that sin of zero sum lack and jealousy.
This is the type of global government the Western globalists want for the world. That’s why they are undoing the constitution and Obama is ruling by E.O. without consequence. The US is leading the charge on that (hope and change). GOPers like Jebby and Mittens are right in there, too.
If we can’t save ourselves from our own stupid and evil, how were we to save Venezuela?
