Do you think embargoes and sanctions may be playing a part? Ask ordinary Venezuelans and they will tell you there getting their food, Things that aren’t available are being affected by the sanctions. Do you honestly believe those who plan U.S. foreign policy actually give a shit if they make others suffer and die?
And the surprise shocker that the rainbow power ranger was straight as a cue ball… after we found out the pink ranger was female, black one was played by a black guy, yellow one by an Asian…
Anyhoo… how bout that crazy weather we’ve been having, huh?
Delightful U.S. led sanction on Venezuela. Blocking them from paying suppliers in relation to agriculture.
You are just another victim of the most propagandized country on Earth. Good job! Don’t read contrary views or listen to independent news sources, just keep believing the corporate class.
All brought to you by capitalistic countries, not socialism. But yeah keep believing the propaganda instead of educating yourself. And you call others ignorant.
I always loved this hearing this argument. They said it for years about Cuba too. “they only suck because The US won’t trade them.” What’s that tell ya?
Why do you think almost all countries have abandoned it? The parameters of the gold standard are always used to deny public spending. But when is it used to deny or curb military spending, wars, tax breaks for successful corporations or subsidies? With the gold standard your fiscal space is very limited. Without it the fiscal horizon is much broader. The principles of MMT are used to help the ruling class but the gold standard is used to keep the lower classes down. We haven’t been on the gold standard since Nixon took us off in August 1971. So why is it still being used as an excuse to throttle down the lower classes?
