It’s easy to see why prison doesn’t bother too many if it’s possible to live like that while in prison. It’s probably better than where a lot of the prisoners come from. Thanks for another great post.

America's hatred of Hugo Chavez led to sanctions against the oil industry of Venezuela and that has contributed greatly to the horrible economic conditions in Venezuela. The coup attempt by the Trump administration led to even more economic sanctions and political sanctions. But I think President Maduro has gained the same revenge that Castro gained when he released every Cuban criminal in prisons and sent them to Muriel Bay in 1981. Maduro allowed the complete exodus of political opposition leaders, gangs like El Tren and major criminals from prison practically providing them with a free trip to the border of Columbia. It certainly did help in the alleviating not only of crime but overt political opposition. The United States again was wide open for this maneuver.

We've been warning folks to watch out for neocons and billionaires when crossing the road, and now they have to watch out for gangs too. It's appalling in practice, intriguing at a distance.

Gaggle's a great word. Good to see it used effectively i.e. "gaggle of teenage rockers" .
