RE: Venezuela Observatory - Just one uninformed American's digging
Kennedy?
That name triggered a WTF alert.
I'm digging around in Caribbean news, as a few island are Dutch municipalities and use our language. The Island Curacao has a large oil refinery that was in Venezuelan hands. And i see contradicting news about it.
Yesterday i read 2 articles that the refinery was serviced on and would be able to step up the production. Suggesting that the production will soon be started again.
But today the news ready the exact opposite

Venezuela stops oil delivery to Curacao.
My curiosity rises about how they will 'fix' this 'problem' as 50% of the GDP of Curacao IS oil and this little secret cash cow for the Dutch elite now goes hungry.
All the more interesting how this all ties up with history. Kennedy family, the current political bullshit in the USA. (o we are soooo damn busy with Hillary, but how much of this is a result of that BS?)
While the greedy elite are grasping for pocket money, there are real lives at stake here.
Link that back to the greed here on steemit, and i would say COME ON GUYS, cut the crap. Don't behave like a bullshit elite wannabe. We are better then this. And if not, then something else needs to happen..
ohh jeez - I had seen some news about their (Venezuelan) oil refineries only working here and there and this had become a major issue and was driving the economy down. I see so much BS it's hard to sort through lol but I think you're very right it's all about greed and those cashing in do not care about the real lives at stake.
I guess all we can do is our own small part and try to balance out the greed out there. I hate seeing it permeate Steemit.. it's like that meme:
We need to be wise about where to focus on. And i'm having a very hard time to make priorities.
In my mind everything is equally important and it is driving me nuts.
Great MEME!
I agree there are way too many things to be done/fixed - I'm having trouble focusing as well. There are so many avenues which have led to the disaster.. maybe just focusing on the future and how to provide some relief might be the best option? IDK..
it's scary how bad the world is broken. And you only can see it when you need to use the system. And the sooner you need a solution the harder it is to get trough.
yup! It's a down hill slide.. trying to cling to little weeds and branches that just pull up and out and provide no help what-so-ever
