RE: Nicaragua Update 5 May 9th, 2018
Upvoted. I like your post. I'm Oatmeal. I love people, travel. But I have some questions. I want to know what they are protesting specifically in regards to the government there and I want to know what can be done to make things better. In order to make things better, there must be solutions, alternatives. There needs to be more free markets, less government, tax, regulation, law, penalties, federalization, centralization, control, and there needs to be more independence, family first values, local community values, Christian values.
Things are never as simple as they seem on the surface. This has been brewing for a while. Teachers, doctors, firefighters, police and pensioners have not been paid. The governments have been corrupt for decades. Making sweeping changes don't happen overnight. There needs to be dialogue and compromise. So far that is not happening. You can lead a horse to water but you cannot force them to drink.
Good things are happening and you can join in global revolutions.
