RE: [ LEARN & EARN - Week#16] There is a massive crisis in Venezuela and some lakes can form deadly gas chambers that suffocate everything in its surrounds.
The situation in Venezuela is getting desperate. I don't know if you noticed, but Venezuelans have stopped posting in Steem. They are without electricity for 4 days now. 😕
The Boing situation doesn't seem difficult to solve but American companies already have a track record of putting profits over the safety of their own customers. I wonder how this will end? If they don't recall all the planes to avoid wasting money to fix this problem, you know what to do: boycott Boing.
Either way, I think Boing is a company that needs to be boycotted, independently of this case. It's the number 1 Weapons Dealer of the World, responsible for selling Weapons to Genocidal Regimes like South Arabia and Israel.
Great post, Alicia! Well done!
Im shocked at how bad it is! I havent noticed that all of them have stopped posting but Im not surprised....@cryptosharon are you still there ??

I did not know that but also makes sense when I think about it, a boycott is in order for sure! I see that people are panicking now though, but airlines wont refund them for their tickets!
Im so glad Im not in the market for a flight at the moment

I'm here! Sometimes I have electricity, sometimes I don't, and this morning, I do have some, so I post. But all around the country there are cities with 5 days straight without electricity and access to the internet.
Many internet companies aren't providing their services nowadays because they are also affected by the blackout.
Besides, people have a lot to do nowadays! Many more people than before are running around looking for food and water every day, solving their needs, and Steem, as seems logical, is a second priority.
We are glad youre still here! Please do keep us posted on the situation over there.
Are there any talks of getting the power back on?

No, they can't fix it. It can easily take months. The plants are broken and need replacement parts they don't currently have access to. Instead, they are imprisoning opposition members and journalists because they now have the perfect excuse. "Sabotage!", they scream, and Maduro calls for criminal gangs to intimidate and murder the opposition.
In the first link, you can see that they aren't even trying to transparently solve the issue. They are blocking specialists from accessing any information and are kicking out employees. They want to keep Venezuela in the dark and use it as an excuse to be even more violent and authoritarian.
Are people trying to sell their tickets? I like to see that. Maybe that will force Boing to solve the problem in a safe way.
Sorry about the million replies. And yes thats what I saw in an article this morning!

You don't have to ask sorry. This is supposed to be a Social Network. You're doing it right! 😄
