The new generation of “rumberos” has no money to drink in bars and the odds of being shot are way too high at night. So, they adapted and now, they bring the party (and the ice box) home.

Once an emblem of civility and modernity, the Metro de Caracas now struggles under poor maintenance conditions and the regime’s propagandist approach to management.

Underpaid Venezuelan teachers leave schools, both private and public. o: who’s going to shape Venezuela’s future?
The corruption plot about Rafael Ramírez’ PDVSA tenure thickens. It’s hard to keep up with former-chavista-golden-boy-turned-traitor’s shenanigans.
