Venezuelan Exodus Accelerates

Most of those who can afford to leave the country have already left. The problems in Venezuela started with the takeover of the government by Marxist Hugo Chavez in 1999: First to feel the crunch were many of the 20,000 oil men that Chavez fired from their positions at the state-owned oil company. (Chavez replaced them with incompetent political cronies.) Then businessmen left the country to escape the currency controls imposed by Chavez. They were followed by students who saw the handwriting on the wall. In the last 17 years, an estimated 1.8 million Venezuelans have left the Chavez/Maduro socialist paradise. 

 

In short, the average Venezuelan lives in a prison forged by the socialism imposed by Chavez and Maduro. The country more and more resembles a concentration camp where the guards are deliberately starving the inmates.

DYI Comments:  Another failed state where freedom is suppressed along with socialists economic policies that are now starving their country.   Maduro from what I've read is the worst kind of socialist - THE TRUE BELIEVER.  He will double and triple down attempting to force a successful socialist state always blaming foreign powers(U.S.) his own people(agitators) but never himself as everything fails! 

Maduro will have a recall election most likely he will stuff the ballot boxes in order to win.  To use a common expression - not if but when - there will be multiple coups.  By the time Venezuela is once again stable many years from now don't be surprised that their population reduced by 20% to 30%as their citizens flee tyranny!
