Situation in Venezuela

[Oliver88]

Perhaps sending food directly would be much more beneficial and is harder for those in power to steal.

I agree with this 100%. 👍🏻

The chances of corruption with millions of $ is just too high.

Why do you people keep wanting to send food to countries that have their own farmers???

These people have no running water, no toilet paper, no power in many cases... probably a lack of fuel also.

Venezuela has farmers... but you need to get the food from point a to b.


Send an armed force and remove the communist prick and his administration by force.

Or fund their military to do it.

Justin Butts just gave the failed socialist country of Venezuela $53 million on behalf of taxpayers.

I wish Mr Trudeau had to phone his banker and scurry down to make arrangements for a new line of credit before he pledged money he doesn't have.

Or ideally somebody bounced the cheque like has to happen with some spoiled kids.

If you're in power pretty easy to take the food for your supporters.

The key in these type places is the millitary control. Unfortunately unless the person steps down on their own people will die no matter what you do. Controlling the millitary of the country will mean much less death and death to the bad guys so to speak. If you can't control the millitary then bigger problem. Need to decide on outside force.

But when you don't have a strong UN force able and capeable and willing then individual country motives become an issue also which is dangerous.

Those service industry people
earn every dollar they make. I mean could you imagine having to serve a meal to a room full of agriville posters?
Hahahaha
You d have the right wingers too cheap to tip because 15 dollars is too much of a wage and the left wingers would be picketing outside after the meal for 20 bucks.

If your waiting to get a tip from a lib or ndp you will be waiting a long time. The lib school teachers will sit in the bar on Friday night drinking water waiting for happy hour and no tips. Soon all the waiters wouldn’t serve them because they where so tight ass. It doesn’t take long to pick out the lefties if you wait tables.

You make a really good point, horse, about automation.

When artificial intelligence kicks in, there will be little need for the slower thinking and doing human labor.
Trouble is that doing away with humans and their wages, also does away with the consumer's ability to pay for AI produced or serviced products.

How many companies that use AI will survive?'

Actually that’s not the case according to an actual university test mind you small
Scale my daughter had to do a few years back. When studying human behaviour and politics that scenario was sampled now this is assuming those that answering were honest which is another argument. But when asked a series of questions including what party do you vote for and another being that exact question of how much do you tip people. Left leaning voters had a lower income generally and yet tipped higher.
Maybe a Saskatoon thing. Lol

Had less savings. No surprise
Had older vehicles. That was a surprise.
Had higher value house
