I'm more than willing to believe Venezuela and other oil producing countries are the victims of global economic sanctions, I just don't know enough about it to comment.
I have actually taught 'global development' for many years, but have focussed mainly on ex-British colonies as they're closer to home (you can't do everything, it's just impossible).
Interesting to hear about the NFTs, I know Hive is supporting a lot of people, it's something I want to dig into more!
Getting some great comments here,
CHeers!
