Mutiny Breaks Out At Venezuela’s Central Bank
While the world obsesses how much longer Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro can remain in power before he loses the support of the local military or the US deploys yet another “humanitarian mission” to depose him, forcing the embattled dictator to place several tons of the country’s dwindling gold on a cargo plane to a non-extradition destination as he takes one final trip abroad, the ongoing “soft coup” is also playing out within the halls of the central bank, where in addition to a lot of currency printing in recent years, Bloomberg reports that staffers are waging a small mutiny and refusing to sign-off on key bank transactions.
According to “four people with direct knowledge of the matter”, some central bank employees received “early retirement offers” Friday after disregarding orders from upper management. The mini mutiny took place as staffers fret about potential consequences and repercussions of signing off on financial operations that have been barred by US sanctions, and as discontent bubbles over as Venezuela’s economic and political outlook deteriorates.
As previously reported, attempts by Maduro to repatriate $1.2 billion of gold from the Bank of England and plans to ship 20 tons of the metal abroad for cash have been stymied in the past several weeks, bringing close international scrutiny to Banco Central de Venezuela’s $8.4 billion in reserves due to fears the Maduro regime may try to pillage them next, prompting a freeze on Venezuelan assets held in western banks.
Meanwhile, National Assembly President Juan Guaido – who in recent weeks was declared the legitimate leader of Venezuela by the US and many Western states, if not Russia and China – has called on the military and government workers to abandon Maduro in order to help form a transition government. While few have heeded the call domestically, some diplomats have broken ranks at embassies and consulates in the U.S. and beyond. And now it appears that Maduro may have to staff the central bank with personally vetted supporters as well.
The good news, so to speak, is that with hyperinflation in Venezuela the central bank doesn’t really do much besides, well, print money (metaphorically that is – the actual money printing takes place offshore and the banknotes are shipped in using 747s). As a result, while central bank jobs were once highly sought after by educated Venezuelans with degrees in economics and statistics, rising political tensions and shrinking wages have reduced most teams to bare bones.
Ironically, protests among underpaid workers complaining about increased workloads have become increasingly common. Ironic, because as said above, the central bank no longer does all that much, and no longer publishes most economic data publicly after the executive branch clamped down on transparency amid Venezuela’s worst-ever economic downturn.

“Americans Are Losing Interest In The Super Bowl”
https://tinyurl.com/ycskcxqv
“While last year’s Super Bowl broke plenty of records (along with the hearts of some Patriots fans), the TV ratings record was not one of them.”
“Could it be that Americans are losing interest in their favorite pastime?”

“Why Is There A War On Cheerleaders?”
“If I were to tell you that a growing group of killjoys wants to ban NFL cheerleading, would you guess that this group is on the political left or right?”
“Must be the right, right? They’re the religious ones with all the sexual hang-ups.”
“Wrong. They’re on the left.”
“Even if you have no interest in football or cheerleading, this should be your issue.”
“We have to tell the left here, as in virtually every other area of life, and in the most forceful terms possible: Just leave us alone. Let us live our lives with our small joys. And grow up — men like looking at women, and women like being looked at.”

“If democratic socialism is so bad, why is Norway so great?”
Because Norway is white and capitalist.
Norway is a Trump-certified non-shithole country.

You are easily duped by click bait..The super bowl is still the largest watched program in America by a mile..Almost 1/3 people watch it..Just because the ratings are down a few percent doesn’t mean Americans are losing interest.
Maybe you should leave your safe space..But just like clogg you need a biased source that doesn’t conflict with your distorted worldview.

Norway is democratic socialist..Read the article I referenced..Educate yourself..Don’t be ignorant..
And you never answered my question either..This is the third time.

You can’t..

No worries mobster, you will get your shithole socialism, in some forgotten, godforsaken little corner of the US of former fame. PBM will see to that, as long as the joint gets split up.

Davy “MOB, talked to JuanP that was his post.”
No, it was not. Davy keeps projecting his using sock puppets and stealing identities onto others, as usual. Nothing but lies, falsehoods, and insults ever come out of his mouth. I was working all day from sunrise to sunset, and only started posting a couple of hours ago. I have never in my life watched an American football game or commented on the subject; I couldn’t possibly care less about it.

After the win, among the crush of players, reporters and confetti, Brady and Edelman, who are close friends, shared a long embrace. Edelman, 32, missed all of last season with a knee injury and the first four games this season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
The only reference I could find.

“Cheerleading implies that women’s proper role is to support men, smile at men and fulfill the sexual fantasies of males.”
LOL and that IS the women’s proper role.
So the far-lefty leftists, after eliminating
borders, eliminating capitalism, eliminating
discrimination,
NOW they lefty-leftist liberals,
also want to eliminate gender.
And they won’t succeed at that, but
their useless left-wing delirium
and insanity has already cemented
a Trump victory in 2020.
4 more years!
Cut the liberal horse crap!
No more wetbacks from shithole countries!
Grab ’em by the p*ssy
Bring back 8 miles per gallon cars again!
Pollution visible from orbit again!

It is no secret that writing academic papers is a challenge for many students. The reasons for being incapable of producing quality pieces of writing are different. Some students have not enough time to do academic projects properly due to a large number of the given assignments.

Essay Panda, it is no secret my REAL GREEN essays are a challenge for many dumbasses here to understand. Some dumbasses, are just 2 stupid and do not take the time to absorb the wisdom of my academic minds brilliant essays. This is mostly due to the large mumber of 9 dollar wurds I tend to use in my long-winded REAL GREEN stories. Borrowing wirds from people smarter than me and passing them off as my own, wurks great I found.

It can be said whole hotmail. makeover has brought about a new and improved version of webmail which was not expected but Microsoft made it possible and Hotmail which is now Outlook can be compared with Gmail. Outlook has become one of the useful webmail, half of your activities are being done by outlook itself. To all the readers, you are now not bound to use just Gmail and all your confusion must have been cleared out that everything is unique and useful in its own way.
