I've heard very little about Venezuela lately, and had heard NOTHING about Brazil until I stumbled on this on Imgur. Is this currently going on there? (yeah, I'll go start digging, but I'd thought I'd ask all of you worldly people)
Nationwide strikes? What's causing it?

Wonder why that doesn't happen here?

The ABCBSNBCNN news cabal ignores the rapid decay of Venezuela because it puts Socialism in it's true light and it looks too horrible for the "Progressive" Democrats, which dominate said press. It gives their ideas a concrete example - one of failure.

Venezuela = Socialism in Action = Failure and Suffering.

Brazil has different problems. Lots of class issues.

No, it doesn't sell on the Mainstream news broadcasts. Easier to just generate another Trump hate story. Like what the Obama Administration did spying on the Trump campaign during the election and subsequent coverup, the truth of the Socialist Venezuela collapse has to be hidden from the American masses. It might cause them to think for themselves.

I have friends in Brasil and I started to invest in Brasil. Some good companies and utilities sold off hard, so I see some opportunities now. Big election coming up. They are not comparable to Ven. In any way politically or much culturally. Visit southern Brasil someday, Curitiba on down. I spent a lot of time in Blumenau and Santa Catarina, amazing place and area. Sao Paulo on down as well, really - little known fact: The main reported ancestries: Italian (30.5%), Portuguese (23%), Spanish (14%), Japanese (8%), German (5.6%), Brazilian (4.3%), African (2.8%), Arab (2.4%) and Jewish (1.2% ) - largest population of Japanese outside of Japan.

Brasil doesn't just want free shit and they are not controlled by a mad man. But you are dead nuts on the very little to no coverage.

Well Hell Juk,

We cant be bothered with news of Countries collapsing/ unrest /revolt when real stories like the Royal Wedding are waaaaaaay more important.

:ROFLMAO:

Too true.
I didn't know about the wedding until a few days after it was over. WGAF? Really, I mean it. How fucked up is society when this is actually a big media deal?

South America is near and dear to my heart. I've spent a lot of time in several countries down there.
I still do not think that Socialism and Communism have failed... Human nature just doesn't seem compatible with "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."
Grasshopper and the ant come to mind.

Semantics, I know.
