Well seeing how Chávez marched Venezuela into the oil crisis, side note to everyone: diversify, and Maduro basically said, "Fuck it! Let's go into the forest and mine the shit out of everything to save us from this economic crisis that totally wasn't our fault." That it has taken this long to get such a massive loss of life (human life, obviously the rain forest has just been taking one for the team here) is actually impressive.
Kind of a reason Venezuela is, until pushed down a spot by Cuba in 2023, the second leading nation (now third) of folks attempting to enter the United States illegally. But Maduro swears there's no such crisis and that political opponents are the reason there is/isn't (yes both at the same time) a crisis.
See kids, this is why you don't pardon someone who attempts a coup d'état, eventually they become President and run your country into the fucking ground so that his buddies can become mega wealthy. Then his lacky comes around after he dies, because he's a fucking old fart, and blames the opposite team for all the woes and attempts to indicate that anyone who disagrees with him are all in a conspiracy and should be locked up.
