    Question. What's your fascination with Venezuela?

    That's a fair question and I'm going to assume you sincerely want a thoughtful answer. Money there is now worth nothing. The idea that Venezuela has basically become a barter economy has my deep sympathy. It sounds like a hell-on-earth type of situation.
    Yes I was sincerely asking. I do chuckle at how people take it as a model that liberals in America want to follow. Then ignore the places that are capitalistic, like India, that are awful as well, just for different reasons.
    India is awful?
    Yes. While a few big cities have American money flowing in. Overall people are just as poor as Venezuela. I can list other free market countries that are just as fucked.
    They have areas where poverty is worse than Venezuela. But it's comparing apples to mangoes. India is positioned to do some big things in the years ahead.
    Nice use of the word mangos. When I was in India, we were given "fresh" mangos, said the were yummy. There's so much pollution, they literally tasted like smog smells.

    Socialism is awful, no one* wants a truly socialistic society. But the point is, a truly free market isn't any better. Just a different method of achieving the same result.




    *You know what no one means. Yes you might find a couple people who have zero power that want a socialism. So go fuck yourself.
    You mean like the Bernie Sanders campaign ;-}
    A socialist would say Bernie is not a socialist. I don't agree with his free college deal. But I do agree with Medicare for all. That's still not socialism.

    I don't mind the free education stuff either but I would want it to be the same way Germany runs the program. If you're a shit student or you're just not very smart you don't go to college, as it should be. Why send someone with no interest in learning or that lacks the capacity to learn to a place of higher learning? A 5'7" 165lb white kid with a 6 second 40 isn't invited to The Opening. It's the same concept.

    There are acquisition contracts going on right now in all the service branches that will be cancelled and we will never get anything out of that could cover health care for all of America. The plot line being sold to you that we can't afford healthcare is 100% false. It would be a drop in the bucket.
