RE: Venezuela: Blackout. (How is it looking from where you're standing?)
Interesting thing about propaganda is...despite the common misconception...it can be either true or false. It's simply a story that's propagated. I personally think it's very likely just incompetence and lack of maintenance, because more often than not, that's the cause of things. But...honestly...it could have been a certain government...or members of either of your side...but...if it is...that's really fucked up. America does bomb like power plants and stuff often when going to war...and I've never really agreed with that practice, because it's attacking the entire population. So, it could be called terrorism. It's meant to cause panic and such and make a place easier to conquer.
But as you said, it doesn't really matter what the cause was. It happened. And now the country is in disarray.
As to what I've heard...almost nothing. I heard that it was possibly caused by lack of maintenance...and then nothing really since. I didn't even know it was still happening until you told me it was.
I would think you guys would have all sorts of people going post apocalyptic and rigging generators out of old car engines and maybe even bikes.
Just yesterday I was at a store, I went in a hurry because the blackout was about to start and the lady said "no, we keep working, we just connect the POS to the car battery". So yeah, people do stuff to manage lol.
steemchat not working because internet sucks but <3 hi
If I was there I would want to try to get some kind of network setup so people could still get the internet...or at least communicate. All you really need is an old laptop and a wifi antenna adapter cable combined with like an old satellite dish and you can communicate over miles. If you don't need to go that far, just a random piece of wire could do in a pinch. Just gotta shape it correctly and hook it up to an old laptop or an old router.
