some may leave, but many will stay - so there will be a net gain.
it also sounds to me like you would rather have the Chavistas abolish education.
Not all educated people leave the county, if they did then why do so many people with degrees choose to stay on their own soil?
you really have put forward a pathetic argument.
The fact remains is that Chavez looked to Cuba as an ideal, but Cuba is heading in the opposite direction of where they once were. Just like the US model of unfettered capitalism (early 1900's in particular) is widely acknowledged as a terrible thing.
The murder rate in Venezuala has skyrocketed to 20 000 per year, and robberies and burglaries are out of control. They also have universal gun ban, so it won't be easy to defend yourself against the machete-gangs.
I said, "good luck with that".

There are more murders in Venezuela than in the United States and the 27 countries of the European Union combined. In Caracas the murder rate is more than 200 per 100,000 inhabitants.

Do you know why Cuba has 2 currencies?
Certainly if one hasn't bathed for a year , good will come once they dip their toe into the water. As they keep walking even more good will come. Then at some point, if they keep walking, they will drown. And so is the transition from a foreign merchant run state to a populist socialist one.

Yeah, and even the Cubans have a name for the political insiders that have the jobs that come with all the "extra perks" and allow them to make extra CUC's on the side. Pesces Gordos or Grandes....
When you have a doctor that makes 90% of their annual income by moonlighting as a cab driver for tourists....you have some serious misallocation of human potential going on.

And the problem is monopoly, not business nor government. Here is a case of a government vs a private monopoly.
Many communities have responded to this digital divide by creating their own municipal broadband networks as an alternative to the slow services offered by cable and telephone companies in order to gain equal access to education, healthcare and even jobs. One example of success is Thomasville, Georgia, which has been connecting people for more than a decade. But these efforts could soon be blocked. Some 19 states have passed laws to stop these communities from making such investments, and Georgia could be next.

If the conservatives continue to conflate the problem of government without identifying the true problem , the seed of monopoly within it, why would I ever listen to them even as liberals give me no alternative? That is to say politically, I have no alternative between two dim wits.
How does a public servant like Chavez amass a $2 billion personal fortune?
