LOL! Things are so bad now in Venezuela that even the National Guard is trying to get rid of its soon to be worthless 100 Bolivar notes at the bank. Most likely that is drug money since the military down there is heavily involved in the narcotraficante. However, the angry crowd blocked their access to the bank. I guess the military knew better than to further provoke the situation.

All for a note that’s worth three cents American.

It might come to an end when the military find out their drug money is now worthless. At least at the lower end of the military. The bigshot generals probably knew better and long ago converted the almost worthless Bolivars into cash and deposited it into offshore accounts.

Venezuela is ripe for a cartel takeover.

Think about it. Instant liquidity from drug acquired U.S. dollars.

Unfortunately though, it will be bloody. Very bloody.

But those folks have to go to Columbia to buy necessities and Columbia does not accept those bolivars, only dollars. It’s like the old USSR with lines for just about anything and hours standing in them.

If I were Trump, I would leave Venezuela alone.

Its headed into the toilet anyway, and there’s no benefit to meddling in their crisis.

In fact, Venezuela as an on-going socialist soap-opera is an excellent and constant rebuke to statists and collectivists everywhere.

My wife worked with the foreign students support area for a local university. We still have the kids up to our house for the occasional campfire and other stuff. About 15 of them are Venezuelans. None of them will be going home any time soon. They have some interesting stories, some of which include the death of family members at the hands of the government.

Some number of Venezuelans have illegally fled to Panama, creating real problems there.

People are losing their jobs because they are undercut by these illegals.

It’s a bad situation.

“All for a note that’s worth three cents American.”

100 bolivar= $10.005 USD

That ten spot will buy a room, three meals and two or three women you’ll have a hard time getting rid of.
