Venezuela

Fivedollargold's boss is from Venezuela. Her family there have suffered terribly under the Chavez-Maduro dictatorship. Whatever America can do to support the removal of Maduro is greatly appreciated by the vast majority of Venezuelan people. From a Randian perspective, it is in America's interest to oppose Maduro, who has given a foothold in South America to Iran, Red China, and Russia.

She elaborated on shopping and people eating their pets. Breaks one's heart. Such a beautiful country.Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink|

I'm going back as soon as Maduro is gone." I hear that from commentators, but it was poignant to hear it from someone working in a foreign country because there are no jobs at home because of bad policy.Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink|
