Venezuela is a special case. They are trapped in tyranny because inbred, unskilled, illiterate masses support it. We are importing those same people here by the millions. It is just a matter of time.
Cronyism is just another word for government picking winners and losers...and it’s a major step on the road to socialism. Or, a major step on the road to Oligarchy, as we see in Russia today. Either way, cronyism is a damned cancer that not only relies on big and powerful government, but helps maintain and grow gov power and size.
Please don’t act like Venezuela is the only case study for crony cancer.
