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.
The Central Venezuelan University hospital, once a Latin American leader, is reeling as taps run dry.
“I have gone to the operation bloc and opened the tap to wash my hands, as you must do before a surgery, and nothing comes out,” said gynecologist Lina Figueria.
The “real” socialism you were promised is just around the corner.
The four horsemen are all advocates for socialism…..they aren’t socialists themselves but they do advocate for it.
So true. If the Bible is read as allegorical stories rooted in human nature (and not idiotically-literal) … then one can easily see the death, misery, and pestilence wrought by Marxism, Socialism, and Communism as prophetical Horseman. Which I suppose puts us in the “End Times” … although we know it will come as a “thief in the night” … so be prepared. Time to acknowledge that you cannot add one cubit to your life … it is a gift from God. You are not God (sorry NME).
And to think Cuomo believes that America can be made GREAT for the VERY FIRST TIME … by adopting the Socialist doctrines of Venezuela. How ANYONE can vote for the leftist Democrap Party beggars belief.
And Jagmeet Singh’s NDP would like us all to emulate Venezuela.
– Not all of us; he and his cronies will be exempt.
“Politburo members work very hard on our behalf, so they are entitled to their Zil’s and their dachas; got a problem with that, tovarishch?”
Just curious … is someone keeping COUNT of the lives wiped-out in this Venezuelan meltdown? I know it pales in comparison to Mao’s China, Stalin’s Russia, PolPot et.al. … but it is important to give Socialism its due.
If they could do it socialists would fuhk up oxygen, since they manage to bugger up pretty much everything else. Given their anxiousness to regulate what comes out of our lungs (i.e. co2), I can only imagine the hours these bastards spend debating how they could prevent the oxygen going in.
Normally once the water is gone, that is it- game over for the society. Let’s see how long the lefties can keep it going this time….
Funny thing about that. The pollution that the eco-kooks make up or wildly exaggerate in free countries is very real in socialist ones. The Chinese communists are the ones turning the Pacific into a sewer, not us.
It’s almost as if socialists want to turn life on earth into life in hell…….
A Canadian: BUT Climate Barbie wants to blame ALL CANADIANS and make us PAY!!! VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!! VOTE OUT JUST IN TRU-GROPER OUT IN 2019!!
Don’t get you hopes up too much, Scheer believes in the same BS.
I am an old conservative and believe that scheer is really lieberal lite. unless he steps up his game and starts to sound really conservative he has lost my vote, volunteer support and financial support.
Yes fighting it out in the streets for water seems like a game changer.
The problem with Venezuela is it is a nation filled with illiterate ignorant corrupt peasant commies with their hands out. This is a feature of all Hispanic nations. It is their destiny. This crisis is self-inflicted. I do not feel the least bit sorry for 95% of all the people there. Enjoy your corrupt commie utopia and don’t call us anymore!
LosDeplorables: The problem with CANADA is it is a nation filled with illiterate ignorant SNOWFLAKES/MILLENIALS with their HANDS OUT. This is going to be our future if we VOTE THE LIE-BRALS back into gov’t. VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!! VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!!
100% correct with a caveat. There is also a sizable group of conservative free-thinking freedom loving capitalist movers and shakers in Canada. They are however disarmed and defanged and lack the courage to take up arms…yes ARMS… to push back on the fascist progressive dictator class and defend the free nation of Canada and not the Socialist Realm of Canada.
People rightfully ask, ‘How long can this go on for?’ The Castro’s have been running Cuba since the last 50’s so there you go. Cuba’s currency used to be sugar and gambling. Pretty much is now all-inclusive resorts where progressives can go to feel superior. Life is an irony.
CT: We have paying CANADIANS going to these resorts to perpetuate this life…if you can call it a life…COMMUNISM!! Soon this will happen to CANADIANS if Just In TRU-GROPER continues on the path of CANADA’S destruction! VOTE OUT LIE-BRALS IN 2019!!! VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!!
A Scheer Conservative government will be no different.
The common people knew what they wanted; they deserve to get it good and hard.
Now, all you socialist enablers, who will say “you realize not everyone voted for Chavez”; that is irrelevant.

That is what you enablers have been doing. You have not been helping people, you have been shielding them from the effects of their own bad decisions. You need to stop, or it will never change.
The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.
One of my old mentors used to phrase it thusly: “Being stupid has to hurt. If it doesn’t hurt, people won’t stop being stupid.”

Sssssssssssh! Don’t tell socialists this–free tuition ain’t free:
https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/higher-education-free-tuition-would-cost-13-billion-691002181.html
anything, ANYTHING free is always eventually taken for granted, swallowed up, wasted, etc.
and correctamundo, this AINT FREE. it is properly described as gubbamint subsidized.
note ms wynnedfarm NEVER used that descriptor.
why not increase the portion of tuition covered by gubbamint further, but STILL make it costly *in order to maintain the attention post secondary studies deserve and require to pay off*?
and for those ready to jump onto the bandwagon, tuition is only one of the costs of post secondary, one among
– accommodations,
– food
– transportation
– books, books and more books.
etc
agreed, not ‘free’ by any means.
Low IQ minority rule has consequences. Come on Venezuelans keep building socialism. March few more times under banners “this is dictatorship not true socialism”. Redistribute someone else’s wealth again. What? No more wealth. Then starve and stay in the turd world shithole you have created. Do not come here. Do not ask for foreign aid.
But, but, but….socialism hasn’t been applied correctly. Oh, you mean with the wholesale executions?
