Say a prayer for Lito

[lostsoul]

Sorry to hear lito.

Only thing I can think of to help is since I'm in California so I can marry you and bring you here. haha

I think it's a fine time to put a Go Fund Me deal together so Lito can move to the US.

How much to time you think it will take to make the 500.000$ of a EB5??? lol.

Thanks all for your prayers and best wishes, I really appreciate them.

A huge ton of people is having it really bad over here, I am OK and way better than most. Just wish us luck and that someday this could be reverted and we got thru it as unscathed as possible.

Regarding the packages, I appreciate the intent, really, but I think we can manage it for now, shipping is terribly expensive and many things get lots thru normal mail so please do not send anything.

I will just say this, take care of your country, be observant, get involved, be proactive, if the only thing one does is complain is just being part of the problem.

Thanks!

Last week, CNN did a detailed look at the biggest power damn In ven. With the big drought, there is little water to run the damn....and it's only May 1st. It will only get worse. No water, no electricity. They showed aerial views of the damn, which is huge by any standard. That drought is bad news, you can see the lack of water for the damn, plane as day.

I thought Venezuela was a major oil producer ? I suppose the OPEC folks in saudia arabia.... have lowered the price of oil so much, that they are putting everybody out of business. ( which was the idea behind the predatory pricing).

Both my son , and son in law, lost their jobs in the alberta oil patch last year. They shut most of it down. They had just finished the 5 year massive oil project in the tar sands..then the prices are down so low, no point in even firing the new plant up. It was touted as the largest new oil project in north america. 100,000 now out of work. Marriages down the drain, suicides, everybody losing their homes etc. Then BP / chevron just announced they are cancelling the next scheduled mega project, worth 13 billion dollars.

Sure, car gas is cheaper, but there is a price to be paid for it.

Venezuela- a model of socialism! And what's coming down the pike to the US if we don't get our act together.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread & go political.

With the North Koreans now testing icbms....fired from submarines, it's just a matter of time b4 the inevitable occurs. Those folks are relentless, and will not give up. And John Kerry.... giving em a ..'stern talking to' is not gonna accomplish much. When the shit really hits the fan, pussy Hillary is NOT who you want to be running the show. Once the n koreans have it all figured out...then park a sub 200 miles offshore, west of LA, there is nothing you can do to stop them.

I know that sounds crazy, but as soon as I heard about the subs that's what I envisioned. I have faith the US has tech that will allow them to find and kill any subs built by NK that come near the shore....

 

[808muscle]

I can't imagine the chaos of it all. God bless you and your family.

 

[HitandRunDriver]

I knew that there were problems in Venezuela but hearing from someone living there really puts things in perspective. You've been great working with before. Essentially where Bama tunes had failed to get a tune right for 6 months, you solved the problem in a day. I'll try to send you some work soon!

Meet the North Korean subs! 1950's diesel subs shouldn't be too hard to track. Russian subs .... well now that is a MUCH harder prospect. You can even see Kim Jung Un if you squint hard enough.

 

[Wes06]

Didn't you ever see down periscope?
They will just act like a boat load of boozed up fishermen in a storm and our Navy will ignore them
Hah

Just cuz some country's sub is laying offshore....in international waters, doesn't give anybody the right to blow it outa the water....on spec. Pull that stunt off, and then the N Koreans will use it as an excuse. Another method to deliver a bomb would be to put it into a cargo container...since only 6% of them are even checked.

 

[Wes06]

If you remember Sean Connery defected and caused another russian sub to mysteriously "dissapear" in the marianas trench, seems like a good enough excuse for a NK sub

LMFAO!

Do we have any military presence in international water near them? Because we should.

 

[Towelie]

We do. We have a very large military presence in s korea

 

[wabirch]

Lito - here's hoping change for the better is in the wind. Hope the family stays out of harms way and you can stretch your USD as far as possible.

The main beer making company shut down laying off thousands. Shit will hit the fan when people can't get their suds.
