I have major issues with the Cato Institute.
They come down on the the opposite side of my viewpoint on almost all issues I can name.
I really appreciate the other people in this thread posting better and less late-stage-capitalism-y videos here, because the OP question (“why did Venezuela collapse?”) has been on my mind for over a year. I have no acquaintances in Venezuela to keep in touch with. I am aware that the current U.S. version of government, Cult45, has been and is doing much to spin everything and further meddle in the affairs of Venezuela.
(off to go check Pro Publica and The Intercept to see if there’s anything useful on Venezuela 2019…)
