Electric power restored in Venezuela
Socialist Paradise! The socialist government of Venezuela yesterday managed to restore electric power after a week-long blackout.
Power has returned to Venezuela after a week after the country was plunged into darkness, but access to uncontaminated water remains critical.
Venezuelan Information Minister Jorge Rodrigues said at a press conference on Wednesday that power was 100 percent restored, adding: “President Nicolas Maduro has decided to resume work activities throughout the country” on Thursday. “School activities remain suspended for another 24 hours.”
Water, however, remains a problem. The blackout worsened the quality of drinkable water in the country, with many residents reporting what appeared to be oil-contaminated black water coming out of their taps.
As is usual for leftist fascists who have caused incomprehensible misery and catastrophe, the Maduro government immediately looked for scapegoats, blaming both the United States and its political opposition. Like all fascists, they are never responsible for their own failures. The blame is always found elsewhere.
I guarantee that this power restoration is very temporary. Venezuela, once very wealthy, is now bankrupt. It has run out of other people’s money, and no longer has the resources, under socialist rule, to fix these issues. Nor is its socialist government willing to do anything to reform its operations. More disasters are certain.
But don’t worry. This is the paradise the Democrats in Congress plan for us here in the U.S. What could possibly go wrong?
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Of course the United States is to blame. If we hadn’t been so successful, then no one would be able to compare their poor living conditions with our good conditions, and no one would be unhappy, because poor living conditions, as humanity had up until a couple of centuries ago, would be the only living conditions to expect and not the failure of socialism, mercantilism, feudalism, or any of the other structures for running a country. No wonder so many people are swarming to the U.S.’s shores and borders. Socialism is a complete failure, and everyone knows it, whether or not they are willing to admit it.
“If only the American’s ran socialism,” the socialists think, “then everything would work just fine. All we need is a new Green Deal.” Except that Plymouth Colony showed that even Americans aren’t able to run a socialist economic system successfully, even one that is not corrupt. It is the system that cannot work right; it is not that the people fail to work it right.
We’re watching Socialist migration here as they leave the failed cities and states run by goverments they voted for. Where do they plan to go when the country fails?
Blair Ivey asked: “Where do they plan to go when the country fails?”
The same place everyone else goes when their country fails: the United States.
Oh, wait …
If socialism worked why are their not more classes expounding on how to establish and maintain a socialist economy?
All the classes and books I have found tend to end up just explaining how capitalism is bad and how a perfect socialist society should work.
They never explain in detail how to make this happen.
My guess is that after a certain size government control is no longer fast enough to keep things running smoothly. Add in the inevitable government employee actively working to keep his job and getting greedy about it and you will never have a perfectly running system.
But we have 10 thousand classes and books on capitalist economies.
Hmmm wonder which one works?

“How many millions of people have to die, before you might admit you’re wrong?”
Venezuela infrastructure is mostly Chinese made products (like much of ours) Blaming the US for hacking their system with no motivation behind it (Who does it benefit?) doesn’t make sense. Establishing power so soon after the Chinese announcement suspicious.

Bring the system down, then introduce a young handsome Savior. The South America Country with by far the largest amount of resources now under complete control of a foreign entity. Well played master move by China and partner Google.
“Venezuela is got more debt with China than any other country”. That’s when oil revenues supplied 1/2 of the country’s government revenues at $120 per barrel. The collapse of oil to below $50 a barrel was the beginning of the Venezuela collapse causing default on their loans from China. Expect China to move to protect it’s investment.
Details of Chinese investment.

Like two dogs fighting over a kill, Russia claims that oil industry for itself. Details to be worked out.

Key quote;
“The International Monetary Fund will likely take the lead in what would be one of the largest and most complicated sovereign debt restructurings ever. Venezuela will essentially have to be rebuilt completely.
“The good news for Venezuela is that it sits on 300 billion barrels of oil, as well as underground reserves of gold, iron ore and other resources.
“What they have is a liquidity crisis, but not a solvency crisis. Everyone should be pretty sure they are going to get paid back,” said Dallen.”
Venezuela will have to be rebuilt completely, it seems the green new deal has offered a similar solution for the United States…
