“It’s Pure Chaos Now; There Is No Way Back” – Venezuela Hits Rock Bottom As Its Morgues Overflow<\/a><\/h3>\n

When we previewed Venezuela’s upcoming hyperinflation, which in January was predicted to be 720% and as of this moment is likely far higher…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

… we said “This Is What The Death Of A Nation Looks Like<\/a>” and said “there is no good news in any of the above for the long-suffering citizens of this “socialist paradise” which any minute now will be downgraded to its fair value of “socialist hell.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

Subsequent news that Venezuela was now openly liquidating its gold reserves while its president, in an amusing twist, announced last week, that henceforth\u00a0every Friday will be a holiday<\/a>, (the term there was a slightly different meaning) to cut down on electricity usage (while blaming El Nino for its electricity rationing<\/a>) merely confirmed that\u00a0the end if nigh for this once flourishing Latin American nation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sadly, while we have been warning for years about Venezuela’s inevitable, economic devastation, we said it was only a matter of time before the chaos spreads to broader society and leads to total collapse.<\/p>\n

That may have arrived because as even the FT now admits, after visiting the main Caracas morgue,\u00a0Venezuela risks a descent into chaos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But back to the morgue of central Caracas, where FT correspondent Andres Schipani writes that the stench forces everyone to cover their nostrils. “Now things are worse than ever<\/strong>,” says Yuli S\u00e1nchez. “They kill people and no one is punished while families have to keep their pain to themselves.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Ms S\u00e1nchez\u2019s 14-year-old nephew, Oliver, was shot five times by malandros, or thugs, while riding on the back of a friend\u2019s motorcycle. His uncle, Luis Mej\u00eda, remarked that in a fortnight three members of their family had been shot, including two youths who were shot by police.<\/p>\n
