Venezuelans Expats in the Time of Covid-19

[jeff1234]

This 9 minute podcast is about our sister kleptocracy up north as we follow behind them down the same dysfunctional-socialist path.
It's worth listening to as a window into one possible future of Argentina. And the plight of the Venezuelan expats among us.

Venezuela's economy was already struggling, for a variety of reasons. The coronavirus pandemic couldn't have struck at a worse time. Now the country's economy is on life support.

Here we go again.

No, not really. Argentina has zero in common with Venezuela at the moment, neither politically nor economically. There is literally no chance of this happening here. In case you didn't know, there is a global pandemic that's led to a global recession.

There has to be a variation of Godwin's Law for discussions on Venezuela.

Someday when I have absolutely nothing else to do, I will consider arguing this point with you. Until then I respect your right to be be critical and rude and wrong all at the same time.

"zero"

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

"no chance"

I also don't think those words mean what you think they mean.

If you had said "very low probability", you could be right. But the difference between low probability and zero probability is huge.

As pointed out in a related thread, there is a school of thought which says the true north of Kircherismo is closer to home than Caracas (and easier to see) than we think:

Avanza la creación de un un nuevo régimen - Jorge Fernández Díaz - Zenda

El verdadero proyecto kirchnerista tiene un norte, y está en el sur. Caracas, La Habana, los libros de Puiggrós, Jauretche y Hernández Arregui.
