RE: "The Dictator's Dash" / "La Carrera del Dictador" ... A Fundraiser For a Friend

@fmbs25,

Arrgh. Helping one person still leaves millions of others destitute.

Months ago, I concocted an idea to try to help many more Venezuelans here on Steemit. But with STEEM at $0.18 ... it's simply not practical.

Watching Venezuela from the outside is an exercise in frustration. With all the diplomatic pressure and economic sanctions, one would have thought Maduro would have been forced from power by now. Your country sits atop the world's largest reserve of petroleum and ought to be extremely wealthy. Alas, political ideologues and rampant corruption have managed to destroy everything.

I wish I had a solution.

They say laughter is the best medicine (and fortunately, free):

It's darkest before the dawn. Sooner or later, the outside pressure will force him from power and there will be MASSIVE international aid.

Hang in there.
