More on the “Maduro Diet”… I know what you’re thinking…DO they taste like chicken?

“The Maduro Diet.”
Study: Venezuelans lost 19 lbs. on average over past year due to lack of food

Especially if everyone is playing “Mobile Strike’, eh?
“On Sunday, while speaking to children during a papal visit to a Rome parish, Francis admitted that cardinals don’t always pick the smartest person as their holiness. He said the chosen pontiff “perhaps isn’t the most intelligent, the shrewdest, the quickest to do what has to be done” but that he “is the one who God wants for that moment for the church.”
Indeed! I have always wondered why the Almighty so often selects unskilled labor to do his work.
It's hard to believe they can't feed themselves.
I read about a Venezuelan who's doing great. The government subsidizes industrial electricity so these guys buy a bunch of computers and set up in an industrial zone and start mining bitcoins. (Bitcoins are electronic currency and to create them you must do lengthy calculations). They also subsidize basic foodstuffs. So people buy up all the food for next to nothing. Smuggle it outside the country and sell. It in turn is then smuggled back in and sold on the black market at marked up prices.
I wonder why they can't at least feed people? Are they that corrupt? It scares me because we're heading the same direction.
VZ floats on a sea of oil and natural gas. It's also got the freakin' Orinoco river, which is navigable by good-sized ships for most of its length. If the Krauts or Limeys had colonized the place, it would be ticking like a Swiss watch right now.
According to Wiki, the population is 51% mestizo (moreno) and 43% White. Hugo Chavez was the first mestizo Jefe VZ ever had, and after he assumed room temperature another one took over.
Conclusions may be drawn.
