  • Unpopular opinion I guess:

    Sovereign leader - who stole his election and was illegally running his country further into the ground.

    I guess 8 million emigrants since the bolivarian revolution isn’t enough to consider VZ a failed state?

    I’m not saying what trump did was right, but Maduro was a cunt, chavez was a cunt, the bolivarian revolution has been a complete failure and has cost all countries in the Americas billions of dollars since it started. We just gonna sit back and let despots run countries on our side of the globe?






  • Not my story but I want to share - in the US - the girl I’ve been dating for several months recently told me she has been receiving SNAP and Medicade for her disabled daughter. She left an abusive relationship several years ago and has been struggling to keep it together. This month, without SNAP, she asked me for money. I sent her what she needed and I’m sure things will be fine. For her, this is a disaster. She’s emotionally tapped out and feels like she is failing her daughter. They’re going to food pantries but so is every other working poor person right now. She works doing Amazon deliveries which fits with her daughters therapy schedule and allows her to work when able. Ex is out of the picture and does not help, deadbeat stuff.

    I just put this out there for some perspective. Many folks are going through hell right now. I wish I had a better solution for her, or for others suffering. I feel so powerless to make any meaningful change in the world. I care for her a lot but I have no idea what to say.
