Socialism Isn't So Great
When some people hear the word socialism, they think of “free stuff," unicorns and rainbows. I'm about to tell you of the starting reality.
This woman lives in Venezuela.
She is a long-time friend who used to sing on my live show. She's beautiful and has a beautiful voice. She is sweet and kind. She also hates socialism.
Relatively recently, her country was taken over by a socialist dictator. Nicolás Maduro has been limiting electricity to four hours every day or two. How are you supposed to keep your food refrigerated or your house air conditioned on that?
She said that there have been riots and looting so bad that it's very difficult to get food for her and her child to eat. She never knows when the four hours of electricity will be so when it's on, she tries to charge her cell phone so that she can contact those of us who knew her on Facebook. Since I will no longer be on Facebook, I'll have to try to find a way to get word to her that I'm here now.
I hope that things improve for her and all the good people of Venezuela. I hate to hear of her living in these kind of conditions. I wish that I could help her somehow but I don't have the means. Please pray for her and Venezuela and remember, socialism isn't so great.
