my Uber driver today in Chile 🇨🇱…
grew up in Venezuela
private British school, perfect English
had a high-level logistics job in Caracas…
great money, stable life
then it started
his nephew got kidnapped
he got kidnapped
his uncle got kidnapped
three separate incidents
all in the same year
ransoms had to be paid
he left in 2017
came to Chile, tried to rebuild…
couldn’t get back to the same level
now he’s driving Uber
people think success is about talent…
but if your skills and network only exist in one country
everything resets

They call China’s🇨🇳 rise a “miracle,” as if it fell from the sky, but not one of these mainstream economists dares to open the accounting books and actually look at what’s going on.
The moment you introduce the sectoral balances, the fiscal flows, and the basic monetary operations of a sovereign government, their entire fairy tale collapses.
Because then it becomes obvious: it wasn’t magic, it wasn’t some mystical productivity fairy, it was deliberate, sustained public spending backed by state control over finance and real resources.
But they can’t talk about the accounting. Why? Because if they admit that government deficits are someone else’s surplus, that public spending creates the financial assets that drive private growth, then decades of deficit hysteria, austerity sermons, and “fiscal responsibility” lectures go straight into the dustbin.
So instead of confronting the balance sheets, they romanticise it as a miracle. Not because they don’t understand accounting, but because they know that once you do, mainstream economics stands exposed as ideology, not science.

Llevo días diciéndolo: la Transición que Marco Rubio ha diseñado para Venezuela está exactamente inspirada en el modelo de la Transición española. Fases: aperturismo, estabilización donde el propio régimen pilota la transición (lo contrario, generaría tensiones brutales y riesgo de involución por sublevación militar), amnistía a los presos políticos, reconciliación, y democracia. Que tarde más, o menos, que se logre de forma exitosa o no, es otra cosa. Pero es el modelo de España, por mucho que algunos no quieran asumirlo.

“The second phase will be a phase that we call recovery… to begin to create the process of reconciliation nationally within Venezuela so that the opposition forces can be amnestied and released from prisons or brought back to the country and begin to rebuild civil society.” — @SecRubio

The Venezuelan government still has not released an official death toll in Saturday’s strikes, but Venezuelan journalists pieced together:
- 32 members of Cuban military and intelligence services
- 23 members of Venezuelan military
- 2 civilians (one Venezuelan who died of a heart attack, and one Colombian killed by shrapnel)

it’s not “one reason”. for fuck’s sake.

the one reason most venezuelans favor removing maduro from power—that he stole a legitimate election—holds next to zero interest for president trump.
