Instead of competing honestly in elections, he provided services and raised the standard of living for the people of Venezuela, ensuring their gratitude and thereby gaining an unfair advantage at the polls."

Chavez invested Venezuela's oil wealth into social programs including state-run food markets, cash benefits for poor families, free health clinics and education programs. But those gains were meager compared with the spectacular construction projects that oil riches spurred in glittering Middle Eastern cities, including the world's tallest building in Dubai and plans for branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums in Abu Dhabi.

I really don't have any reasons, i've left them all behind, I'm building a toothpick model of new york, in my miiiind
EmanuelaOrlandi posted:a space bag is when you buy boxed wine then open the actual physical box made of cardboard which encases the plastic bag of wine and forthwith drink the wine through the very same nozzle which would be the nozzle from which wine is poured from out of the cardboard box, but is now the nozzle on a plastic bag of said wine which would otherwise be the plastic bag inside the box of boxed wine
that was my first thought but then I pictured capri sun whiskey bags and had to share
godspeed spaceman
