  • I think the problem there is lead pipes and old infrastructure that hasn’t been replaced… half assed renovations which causes changes in pressure and acidity etc and cause the problems with the lead being released.

    Yes… just looked it up… they switched sources of water which caused the old lead pipes to leach toxins and they didn’t use enough chlorine which allowed some bacteria to thrive and make people sick















  • The system was created and developed by rich folks to ensure that rich folks continued to accumulate more and more wealth. Economists seem to me to be just working backwards from that point without ever mentioning it.

    We had a middle class when taxes on the wealthy were 50-90 percent. Unless we bring that back, the ‘economy’ is bullshit.

    Referring to the USA of course.

    But Venezuela’s economy collapse was caused mainly by US foreign policy. It may have been exacerbated by Maduro’s or Chavez’s policy, but the US was the cause.
