Intervention!
Juan Cristóbal says: – A reader in Caracas told us yesterday that he was disappointed in Caracas Chronicles. He usually came to CC to find information and solace, but lately, there’s been no solace.
He got that right.
Quico and I have always tried to find the proverbial silver lining in current events. But lately, that’s been hard to find. I blame it on El Niño.
So, bloggerfam, this is a cry for help. We demand an intervention!
Is there any hope? And if so, where do you find it? ‘Cause the light at the end of the tunnel seems to have flickered out with the latest blackout.
I think of my friend Rafa, who years ago told me something that has stuck in my mind: “Este país es una mierda, pero como se goza!“
Maybe he’s right. I should give him a call.
PS.- Quico read the previous version of this post and hated it. He asked me for a re-write, demanding I make it short and funny. Short I can do, but it’s hard to make a post about how depressing everything is … funny!

We’ve been able to hang on for 22 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
