Lootings as Venezuela power cut drags on
Venezuela's government has ordered schools and businesses to remain closed on Monday as a power cut drags into a fifth day. "What were we supposed to do?" screamed one woman at the guardsmen. "Our grandkids are dying of hunger."

Hospitals, schools, businesses, phone services.... are all down in Venezuela.
People are starving and dying.
Life is very tough without electricity.
Hospitals and Phones are essential for survival.
Muduro is blamming America for his failed government.
The Left is taking humanity barrackwards.

Western Civilization gifted humanity with democracy, electricity, airplanes, cars, phones, light bulbs, printing press, indoor plumbing, radio, TV, trains, internet.........well it's just endless; and yet the Left Wing says that it's racist to be proud and thankful for Western Civilization's gifts to humanity.

Guess the UN should get off its dead ass and arrange for aid for Venezuela.

But Muduro is blocking outside aid.

Sounds like an idiot to me. His people are starving and he's blocking aid??

Well they elected him so they get what they deserve.

Of course she was singing about the environment, but like the proverbial frog-in-the-pot, some don't notice until it's already at the boil.

Children can't vote. They're starving too.

He's become filthy rich ruining his country. He's not stupid. He's an evil Progressive.

Well they voted him in and they get what they deserve.

I couldn't care less about the adults who voted that man into office but the kids could sure use some aid.

Only ours. It took me a LONG time to find, hunting around, because it isn't news that is very popular in this country, but Venezuela is accepting aid from many other countries. Russia and the EU have sent food, medical supplies, etc. with great generosity.
Turkey and China have made very significant economic investments to help its economy. The International Red Cross, the UN and others are also supplying aid.

We are getting one side of the story, folks. Regardless if you like Maduro or not, the US is sending aid to the borders of a country that we know won't accept it and the American people keep hearing that Maduro is not accepting aid--
but it is only ours he won't take, because it is for political reasons.

It was accidentally started by molotov cocktails being thrown by protesters. See NYT -- it's everywhere.
