The Devil's Excrement

The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

What a gas!
Early in the afternoon I started hearing the rumors about lack of gasoline in the city. Whether the rumors created the problem or there is another problem, PDVSA assurances that things will normalize by tomorrow are not getting any undeserved trust. Capriles Radonski will continue in jail, a clear political prisoner, since his appeal was turned down today. These may be just smoke screens to waste a day in the reparo process. It seems even Gaviria and Carter are worried now.

Not much to say today, but I leave you with a question for those in the know: What happens if you call for the people to defend a revolution and nobody shows up? Leave your comments, I, again, have work to do.
