1. I've Said It More Than Once And I'll Say It Again

I've said it more than once and I'll say it again. I STRONGLY believe that the function of good government is to promote general prosperity for everyone, not just a few oligarchs and their retainers or make some raucous noises against "imperialists" while running its country's economy into the ground. Mr Maduro may not be an old-style Latin oligarch, but he still has that charge to promote his people's general prosperity. In this he and his party has failed and failed miserably.
