They have abundant natural resources, with oil and gold aplenty. Not to mention that Venezuela possesses significant untapped reserves of rare earth metals.
Now, I'm not suggesting we all go down there and do some carpetbagging (OK, maybe I am), but they need almost everything you could think of and more. This will be boom times down there, and it will be taken advantage of. The question is exactly how to do that without a huge investment of time and money.
Find out which oil companies are going down there and invest in them. Same with any other company that intends to fill the void and occupy the opening niches. It could be food and agriculture as much as mining and oil operations.
I'd like to see some ideas from the Rogues, I think this could make a lot of people some big money when the US fully takes over and it is safe to do business.
Hell, let's all brush up on our Spanish and get down there, it might end up better than what is happening up here. Might be the place to go retire.
Some Aussies down here like to think that we're the richest country in the world. Invest they say. But there is no real return except for the few.
Bit far away this Venezuela for me. With my luck I'd invest in a company, it will go into administration later, dissolve and the owners will sail off on the private yatch with it's own landing near their ranch.
Meanwhile I'll go on cutting wood.
I'll brush up on my aussie vernacular. Don't need spanish, chinese, arabic, hebrew or even indonesian which some knuckleheads here seem to think makes them scholars. But over your way this might be the way to go. So, good on yer mate. Your work impresses me.
Need someone to take our Goverment leaders away and put them on trial for ripping us off, forever changing laws and condiitions to suit them and supporting the overthrow of our way of life.
Soon the Sydney revolving tower restuarant will be the tallest mineret in the world, the Opera house will be for prayers only and the harbour bridge will be flying ISIS flags supported by Julian Assange.
My thoughts mate.
Cheers and a beer,
