Machado is showing the world how opposition politicians can fight an autocrat. When Maduro tried to thwart her campaign by banning her from taking domestic flights, she drove between her rallies on a motorcycle. When he then banned her from running as a candidate in this weekend's presidential election, she found a retired diplomat to run as her proxy. Without even being on the ballot, can she bring down Maduro’s socialist regime?
The Spectator's Editor Fraser Nelson speaks to Dr Paola Romero, philosophy teacher at the London School of Economics.

I think inflations is causing the current situation we already have now, imagine investing $.5000 and getting a return of $.31,500 bi weekly trading crypto,our leaders is not the solution to our problem cause they're the problem. you can't get rid of corruption in a system built on corruption. The best way to survive the current recession and hardship is to spend and invest wisely.
