Four days without electricity in Venezuela #SinLuz #SocialismKills

Since Thursday afternoon (four days ago at time of publication), Venezuela has been facing a power outage. So far, it has killed 19 hospital patients (modern hospitals rely on electricity for patients to survive for longer). Thus, the situation in hospitals in Venezuela looks more like the nineteenth century, when hospital patients were unlikely to survive a visit.


In the early morning hours, there was an explosion of a transformer in Caracas, as a result of lack of government care and maintenance. If it were privately owned, they would fix it quickly. A nationalized industry means that the government decides on who will receive the benefits instead of the private owners. Nationalizing industries is for losers. For example, PDVSA is nationalized, but it is in big trouble. The only way to save PDVSA is to privatize it. Big government bureaucrats rely on corruption rather than efficiency. State-run industries are too inefficient, let alone government control of the private sector.
The situation has gotten worse in Venezuela as electricity is out for four consecutive days. People began looting (with the crisis becoming acute).
Socialism never works. It is analogous to smoking several packs of cigarettes every day. You get addicted to tobacco, then your health declines, until you quit smoking.
Tom Stiglich for Mar 11, 2019

Meanwhile, progressive crooks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that "capitalism is an 'irredeemable' system that is to blame for income inequality."
Seriously? Free markets have lifted billions of people out of extreme poverty. Now, extreme poverty is confined to just sub-Saharan Africa.

Capitalism turns luxuries into necessities with the gradual buildup in personal wealth. Socialism does the opposite because the government eventually runs out of ordinary citizens' money. Thus, socialism (central planning) never works! Socialism is all about government control and greed of corrupt far-left politicians. Also, when a state goes socialist, there is no easy way back, as socialism will result in government controlling its citizens for a long time.
Socialism: always a failure, no matter what.

Why the Squad of four congresswomen hates America

The "Squad" of four congresswomen, all of who despise American values. It is a battle between America and the progressive, globalist left. Recently, I have been getting in touch with the four congresswomen, all criticized by Donald Trump as being "very racist" and "troublemaking". The four congresswomen of the Squad are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (MN-5), Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13). Of these, only Ilhan Omar was born outside the United States, in Mogadishu, Somalia; the rest were born on U.S. soil. The four progressive congresswomen have shown their hatred of America through repeated anti-Semitic comments, bashing Israel with unfounded criticisms (one of America's close allies which the left hates), embracing abortion until birth, and advocating for socialism and open borders. Even worse, now they are calling to abolish ICE (the Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Department of Homeland

Why liberal policies fail (and a list of all of them that failed) #LiberalLogic

Liberal policies are closer to socialism and bigger government (e.g. government control of corporations) and discouraging private property. When government controls something, you have less freedom. Bigger government usually translates to less personal freedom. Here is a list of all liberal policies that lead to failure: High taxes (when you overtax the rich, you end up getting LESS tax revenue in the long run). A low-tax environment was key for nations to prosper. Too much taxation is what is going on in California, resulting in significantly less purchasing power for your money there than in the rest of the nation. Millions fled high-tax regions for lower tax regions for the last several decades. Bernie Sanders shows his hatred of success by demanding higher taxes on the rich. He said "I say to Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump: Instead of repealing the estate tax, let’s substantially increase this tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires and reduce wealth inequali
