Smart and poignant. This is the kind of writing that makes one want to continue reading and writing.
Wonderful post.
We have been living the progressive deterioration of private property and economic freedom for 20 years and should be a case study to spare the world some calamities, but so was Cuba before us and Russia before them.
Humanity will never learn (at least not the easy way).
Venezuela is a sad, sad case. I've been trying to get friends to pay attention to what's going on in your country for years, but most of them are convinced that it's the media overexaggerating. Or worse, they believe it, but "that's not real socialism", and they press on to bring those same policies home.
And it is beginning here, too, I sense it. Slowly snowballing. Things missing from store shelves, everywhere you go. Prices on certain items, skyrocketed from last year. We are obliged to use replacements and salvaged materials, if they can be found. And so much more time spent waiting. Nothing like what you and your countrymen have been going through, of course, but it puts me on edge because I can see where this most likely ends.
I still hold out hope that the lesson will be learned. Like how most countries learned a few hundred years ago that monarchy kind of sucks. And that realization stuck. Now almost all monarchies remaining are just symbolic, figureheads. So it is possible that we can dispense with state tyranny, as well.
We humans do not learn well from our collective experience. We make terrible mistakes, time and again. And yet I do feel that things have the potential to become better.
The plandemic and mass submission to an imaginary disease have been planned and developed for decades...
I tend to think so. Even if the virus itself was not invented for this purpose, it's clear that there was a devious agenda and a playbook already in place to respond to it as soon as the opportunity arose.
Hi Leslie, thanks for the recent follow which I appreciate greatly. Clearly you've come across one of my posts and thought highly enough of it to follow me; or maybe you just pity me. I'm going to assume the former.
I haven't the time to investigate your post-feed at this point but will take a look and see what I see. I note you're a writer and so have to ask you excuse my poor attempts to do so.
I'll see you around. Have a great weekend.
It was the peanut-buttering post! Funny stuff. Nice to meet you!
Haha, yeah ok, I had figured it was, The day she smiled, post from Thursday actually. Yeah, I was a unique little fellow as a kid and have written about some of my nutbaggery on occasions; I add a humorous tone to it as I don't mind people having a laugh at my expense; I do it often.
Nice to meet you also. :)
