Venezuela is the new standard for how not to run a country and throw away a bigger pile of money than the Saudis rake in. It’s staggering to think how corrupt and incompetent you have to be to become essentially a failed state, while sitting on the biggest oil reserves on the planet. Chaves really did a number on the collective psyche of the people it seems, I can’t explain why his heirs are still in power otherwise. It’s the one place in the world where I’d think a revolution would have broken out years ago, yet here we are. Weird in the extreme.
