Since on this thread there is comparison of other countries then read this.

This was just sent to me...probably easy to confirm:

Venezuela Time Line

1992 it became 3rd riches country in hemisphere (think of that a minute)
1997 It because 2nd largest purchaser of F-150
2001 Voted for Socialist President (income inequality)
2004 Private HEALTHCARE is completely socialized
2007 All private education becomes “free”
2009 All private ownership of hand guns banned
2012 Bernie Sanders praises their “American Dream”
2014 Opposition leaders are imprisoned
2016 Food / healthcare shortages become widespread
2017 CONSTITUTION and elections are suspended
2019 Unarmed citizens are massacred by their own country

It took only one generation of progressive leadership to plunge this country into Civil War.
Yes, you can confirm, an maybe or should have before posting this.

Venezuela refused to admit they had problem when oil income was reduced. Thy welcomed an authoritarian leader who eventually became butal, and that in concert with not acknowledging the economics at play.

I don't think a Bernie Snders jab in the middle makes this a serious anthology.
