At one of Caracas’ biggest public hospitals, most bathrooms are closed. Patients fill jugs from a tiny tap on the ground floor that sometimes has a trickle of water. Operations are postponed or canceled.

Bloomberg, May 5, 2018. Headline:
Potential Ban On Venezuelan Oil May Hit Valero Hardest.

The office headquarters of Valero is in San Antonio.

Thank you for correcting me and making sure I do not spread misinformation on this thread.

*** “No hygiene in a tropical climate. If that doesn’t cause an uprising, nothing will” ***

I was stupid and rode out Harvey ... ended up being a Direct Hit, No Water, Electricity, Phones ETC for more than a Month

That really sucked the Heat and Humidity and the body just takes a beating, fungus and rashes etc ... those stupid little wipes don’t cut it and the mosquitoes were Blue Ribbon size and Gold Medal grade for performance.

I really feel for Venezuela, I only had to deal with really bad stuff for 2 months

Pray for them

This is the kind of educational thing against socialism that should be aired as commercials on TV, radio and the net. It time we educate the masses. The MSM definitely won’t.
