@@GabrielDiggs there is no one correct accent for English. In the UK there are literally dozens of different accents. In the USA we have several by region. Javier’s pronunciation was by far much superior than the female. As a pure Anglo-Saxon and native U.S./English speaker I could replay Javier on double-speed. I could not comprehend the female well on even 1.5 times speed playback. She has a long way to go to being natural to native English speakers. Sorry facts.
Every time when US officials or their NGO a talking about lack of democracy anywhere in the world, I suspect the democracy is not the reason #1 for them.
especially considering the US has quite likely the LEAST secure elections (wtf why not universal paper ballots?!) and obviously the LEAST secure border on top of it
Very true! Specially, the US still sees Volodymyr Zelenskyy still as a legitimate President of Ukraine, when he is not anymore! By the way, while supporting a genocide in Palestine!
Glenn Greenwald, who was born in and grew up in the US but who lives in Brazil and has Brazilian citizenship, put out a well informed and informative video on this subject in the last couple of days. He takes no position on the outcome of the Venezuelan election. The video is about half an hour long.
Correct. The USA should stay away it is NONE of their business. The USA are the ones with constantly rigged elections. But no other country go there to impose real democracy. In the USA people took over the capitol about 3 years ago. Remember that. ? So the USA are a bunch of hypocrites 😂😂
Venezuela is an extreme case. Obviously Venezuelan citizens need options but the well-off in Venezuela have known this for a long time which is why they have property and money outside their home country. Millions of Venezuelans have fled, especilaly the middle class and poor.
Yet how many economically benefit from the types that trying to reinstall in Venezuela, and that's certainly part of the problem, regardless if Chavistas are also corrupted or not. It's been created systemic corruption in western countries.
Venezuela is a beautiful country as visited several times. Sad to see it’s currently in this conflict. I have friends there and it’s tough and trust it gets better
Something worth noting: Venezuela has paper ballots, the result, they can be verified. Compare to the US where many locations use machines with no legit way to count physical votes.
As a fellow Venezuelan, thanks for employing those 2 Venezuelans, I hope you can soon add Venezuela to the list of countries in which you recommend to invest. I am glad I subscribed to your channel a long time ago and it is true, we venezuelans used to say that communism would never happen in Venezuela.
@thetapheonix no they voted venezuela first over corporate america. Again debunk american sanctions. Check saudi arabia. Its very socialist state. Look at how many benefits its citizens get. At this point cognitive dissonance.
@@PolishBehemoth that's my point. Venezuelan people are suffering and this guy has perfect English and he is just chilled taking about the situation as if he was talking about the weather.
@@antonioalejandrohoyosespin6353 you just made a massive opinionated assumption. How do you know he forgot the struggle? Maybe hes hust calling it how he sees it. Im half polish by blood. I talk crap abiut eastern europeans all the time because i love my people. but my people do a lot of stupid thinfs that keeps them poor in eastern europe. He probably feels more free and comfortable now that he is away so he can be more open of the situation. Alot of poor people need criticism because they never get it anywhere else whem they are constantly doing what they impulsively feel and stuff thats bad for their community (drugs, gangs, etc.).
Venezuela's OIL has been coveted by USA for decades. Trump even said point blank, "We want their oil." That's one reason they hate him. It's true, like Syria, but you're not supposed to say that out loud! Venezuela has been "sanctioned" by USA for years, hence continuing difficulties with their economy. There were many observers of the election who said it was above board. How many times do we have to watch USA do this to South and Central American countries before we say, Oh look. They're doing it again!! Enough with the BS. Leaders of countries with such resources have a right to allow their citizens to benefit from said resources. Look at Libya. Iran in 1953, Arbenz in Guatemala. Over and over and over. Get a grip!
Are you saying, USA is a hypocritical state? They financed Saddam against Iran, but got angry about Kuwait. Vasall dictators should know their place. They support a sole king in Saudi - non elected of course but not the Khaddafi, etcetera. I sense a clear lack of principle other than the robber baron kind. Our corrupt "elite" just tied their asses to this corrupt entity in the form of a non voted for NATO membership. We did not vote for NUTTO but were told in the media we all supported it. They did not ask me, I even sent a formal reservation against it. But the corrupt swedish state just asssumes compliance. So I withdrew my power of attorney from the swedish state all together. It no longer represents me. It is acting illegally under natural law. All apparachiks, all politicians.
Who said that Venezuelans hate trump, you are so wrong, even the Venezuelans living in usa know for sure that he is the best option for usa. If American Vote for Kamala is because they are blind to se that commmunist is coming.
@@thorstentrapp274with fracking reducing the cost of Permian Basin oil to Saudi levels will cause the desirability of Venezuelan oil, light sweet oil out of Permian is far more desirable to refine that the nasty thick Orinoco oil, there is just one or 2 refineries left in the US with the largest in Corpus Christi TX,one they retool for the Texas sweet there won’t be much of a market left for the Venezuelan sludge.
Thank you Maria and Javier for your stories. Wishing you both the best in these trying time. These are excellent examples of what can happen to anyone and the need to have backup plans. I'm sure there's hundreds if not thousands of citizens of Venezuela that can't make it home and don't have a good place to stay and have a job that they can't get to.
Not Venezuelan. I do pray that all works out for all Venezuelans. They deserve to have a government that guarantees human rights and zero violence. The population has suffered long enough and are ready for reform.
You're right friend, we're ready to rebuild the nation but we still have to kick out the dictator, nothing is possible to get done if the regime continue.
My compliments on the complete native English fluency of Javier. Maria's command of that language is quite close to his, too. I wish that I could speak Spanish close to that of a five year old from their country! 😂
Amazingly well spoken and presented analysis and an excellent sales pitch. I love the underlying message and use of this example. Andrew you truly have some talented people on your roster. Salut !
His command of the American English language is admirable, Moreover, that he doesn't have a Latin American accent is enviable! I'm still practicing to properly pronounce my Spanish rrrrrs 😊
Thank you for saying at least some truth . Truth that supposed specialist on international affairs are not saying. I am from Ven. And i am from the interior. In my state he did not win one electoral table. I stayed on my electoral center till 9:30 when all votes where scrutinized and maduro lost overwhelmingly. In my city there are since three days ago 16 teenagers imprisoned for protesting, they have not been allowed attorneys and they are being tortured. Which i know because i am friends with attorneys in the penal system. As for the speakers you have brought two Venezuelans that as i can see have other nationalities , that is a blessing here. They are not your average Venezuelans so what they are speaking about is unrealistic to most here. To say the least. The majority of Venezuelans are bellow 20$/m including university professors that earn 29$ more or less monthly. What your second speaker is saying for international business people? is not an option for a lot of nationals. Frankly what he is saying sounds like making business with the government 😢. And that kind of businesses are shady and detrimental to the Venezuelan people. Thank you for your work and awakening people to other possibilities of living life.
I agree with you. I am from South Texas and live in Mexico now. There are thousands if not millions of Venezuelans here that are trying to get into the USA. Those two speakers in the video are not the average Venezuelan citizen. As expats and immigrants living in other countries where our dollars go farther it is important that we look at the reality on the ground.
Forget income levels. Focus on purchasing power. The true question is; how much will one ounce of gold buy, and how much currency is required to buy that ounce of gold? "An ounce of gold in roman times bought a nice suit, and today, an ounce of gold buys a nice suit." Once upon a time, middle-class United States citizens earned that same level of income and enjoyed a high level of living. That was before the cancerous growth of government metastasized into it's current size devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar. 😢
I live in the Netherlands myself. This may seem like a fortunate country... In many ways and for most Dutch it still is but things are changing quite fast. One example... Quite a number of Dutch cannot afford a roof over their heads. I myself have decent income but because I do not want to live in poverty, I am forced to live in a camper. It is just not affordable to own or rent a small apartment. I know that many other countries in the EU are going in the same direction. I could tell you things about this country you would not believe. I won't tell, because you indeed will not believe. Being a Nomad Capitalist customer is also out of reach for the majority of the Dutch (and EU citizens). Though I realize every day that I am blessed to live in a country that is not in war or turmoil (yet) but seeing the Japanese stock market lose 12% shows that things can turn on a dime. Stay safe, stay focused.
I remember Jimmy Carter worked on Venezuelan elections and in his opinion it was the fairest election he had ever attended. Maybe if the US govt stopped holding medications at US docks, holding massive amounts of Venezuelan money that the economy desperately needs and so on and so forth. So anything coming out from American owned media organizations should be treated as little more than American propaganda. Venezuela has lots of oil the US wants that oil as it did in Iraq once Hussain and Gadaffi wanted to trade oil in a gold Dinah..
America doesn't need foreign oil. What it needs is oil to remain scarce to keep the price elevated and to keep it denominated in usd prices to keep the dollar propped up that's all that matters
Venezuelan crude is the nastiest thing to distill. It's not Brent nor Permian basin oil. Also, the world is in an energy glut in the midst of a global recession. Nobody needs Venezuelan oil for the foreseeable future. Look at Guyana they discovered the biggest reserves outside of Saudi Arabia yet you don't hear a word about Guyanan oil.
I follow the Nomad Capitalistic Because I think it is a very realistic topic nowadays....but I would like to say that, as a very good channel, the Nomadic Capitalistic should address the dissolution of communities and society, the lack of a rethinking of society that the nomad needs to cope with in a new life in distant places.....🤠🤠greetings from Chile🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
I just stumbled on your channel and I'm totally interested in learning more about nomad capitalists. I grew up in Argentina but now live in California USA. I'm definitely subscribed to your channel and I'll be looking more into this way of life.
Spain hasn't asked for proof, nor have they supported the opposition candidate... I'm Venezuelan, living in Spain and I also have a third citizenship from Mexico.
I have friends in Venezuela and it just blows my mind how people get along. My friends own businesses, but have to use US dollars to survive. Most people in the country will just tell you the situation is terrible and ugly. Most will not say anything political.
Love your casual style commentary videos. I remember there was a classic one you made in the car that really inspired me years ago, that video was called Don’t live your life on an auto pilot. And Venezuela is indeed a good place to hire educated young employees. It has tremendous natural scenery and Mountain Views.
I think it has potential. There are many individuals in venezuela who are highly educated due to free education because of the sanctions the people are very innovative it will be a great business opportunity
What I always find remarkable is that other countries seem to give themselves the right to say something about the internal precedings in another country. Let's state another fact...... Venezuela sits on an enormous pool of oil. Some other countries are envious of that and do have interests in meddling in Venezuela's politics. Who has really won the elections. With what I just said, I tend to believe that Maduro indeed won the election however, it is really hard to get a clear picture. There is not much factual news available on any news channel that I follow and I follow quite a bunch of them. I can only hope that Venezuela has the possibility to shape it's own destiny unlike many other countries in the world.
Capitalism and communism are two sides of the same centralized coin. Both ideologies have shown if it comes down to choosing between the betterment of the impoverished majority or enriching the pockets of the rich minority they will choose the latter.
100% false. You have no idea what youre talking about. Capitalism is natural and just tevolves around trading goods for other goods that people are good at making. Communism says everyone should consume the same goods and get the same pay regardless of what they accomplish.
@@PolishBehemoth it is absurd that you think capitalism is natural. Capitalism is essentially a decentralized feudalism, that’s all it is. Markets are natural, but capitalism is not. Also, capitalism in its pure form doesn’t work very well. It creates massive wealth inequality, massive ecological destruction, along with a host of other problems. It should also be noted that western style democracy doesn’t work well either, it isn’t designed to. Right now, in the United States, we are experiencing a late stage four of capitalism, as well as a late stage western style democratic system, both of which are very bad. The world should be learning more from China when it comes to these things, from the socialist market economy approach to economics and from whole process people’s democracy.
@@salsa564 Several huge problems with what you just said. Im about to go on a hike, so i dont have time to address now. 1) You didnt specify the difference between a market with capitalism and a market without capitalism. Having a market with selling and exchanging goods requires private ownership of distribution. Thats what capitalism is. Capitalism depends on private ownership of the market forces involved, and goes according to supply and demand. Communism revolves around governmetn ownership of everything and the govt. determines what people need and dont need on their own opinion, the soviet union did that for decades and their people live horribly. Im not sure you understand what capitalism means and what communism/socialism means. Socialism is a form of communism, but not the other way around. 2) Chinas economy was total backwards 3rd world shit until they opened up their economy to western investment in the 90s. China literally became successful because of western democracies and business practices. You really need to do your research about chinas economy cuz i can tell you dont know what youre talking about.
Tell that to an Eastern European trying to get/stay out from under Communism’s murderous dictates. My husband’s grandmother could cut the western left leaning professorial debate happening on college campuses to shreds with her and her Family’s lived experiences. Working on a “communal farm” her entire adult life, then “retired” on $100 a month “pension”? Grand children living in capitalist countries sending money to live is the only way these people survive. So, indirectly, capitalism supports the people under the govts of Maduro, Putin, etc . Your professors won’t tell you that.
Capitalism and the rule of law allows for the improvement of an individual’s security and overall wealth accumulation without having to belong to a mob or pay protection- which is the norm in non capitalist countries. Communism has no “rising tide” that lifts everyone. That ideology pushes all but the insider cabal down the drain.
you forgot forgot how chavez and socialists destroyed one of the richest countrys in american hemisphere history after nationalizing all key businesses.
Canada and Canadians are in the same situation. Our next election is critical to avoiding full control communism ☮️❤️🇨🇦. It’s incredibly disturbing that people turn a blind eye to the issues
I think it's pretty amazing that the Venezuela government through the Western oil companies out. Trying to turn into state-run so the people make the profit not the US oil giants
Subscribing to this channel, I though this channel was intended to someone else, but it's fully compliant with what I'm looking for. Also venezuelan here, with dual passport (VEN / ITA) living in Bogota and working for an american company (english not as good as both Maria's and Javier's) and looking to protect my assets and investments without being tied to a territory, thanks
Venezuelan people are amazing... Not all of them of course, but in general my experience is that most of them are well educated and hard working people, I have met many around the world. Great people.
I was born in Venezuela, I just have the German citizenship, and my mom was born in Colombia! I would like to have both citizenships but not sure, I don't want to stay in Germany… I don't know exactly what to do.
I look at Venezuela as a potential down the road. Same with Nicaragua but Nicaragua will have major issues when Ortega is gone. He is like an icon in Nicaragua, most love him. Hopefully Venezuela will become an El Salvador which is proof that in a short time with the right leadership, things can change. Power is either a curse or a blessing. How it is used depends on the person with the power.
I am in Caracas right now. It's all calm, but there is a March tomorrow. The international banks have been closed for over a week. Western Union is down. Italcambia is down. There is no place in the country to exchange currency U.S. currency is accepted only for the most part. All transportation has been up and down, this last weekend nothing was open. I currently have no currency only a credit card, and must find a way to to A Colombian border city.
The flag of the Kingdom of Spain that you used is outdated - it actually comes from the first republican period. Minor detail to be sure, but it doesn't look good associated to one of the members of the research team of a company directed to high level customers. No one is going to die because of it, but I suggest that you edit the video.
Thanks for the good update. I have a contact in Venezuela, and he cautions people from the United States to stay away. I would suggest following his advice if you are a US citizen. There is also a number of other countries that people from should be cautious when considering a trip to Venezuela. Just another note: Javier is staying in your house? You are obviously a good employer. I know you would just say that being a good employer is just good business, but still, it is amazing how many employers never figure that out.
I worked in Venezuela back when Chavez was alive. The hoops to jump through as a foreign company were enough to stop doing business there. I think it's still getting worse, I would have to see it start going the other way to consider going back.
I wish you all would talk about specifically what is good and how you benefit being in Venezuela - whatever that is. Food, culture, banking - whatever.
If you have an in-depth understanding of how democracy works, it is a system that can be easily manipulated and it is a system that caused massive decline in most countries that have such practice.
*Might see amazing Peru´s Ambassador Message 🇵🇪* supporting venezuelan people 🇻🇪 during OAS meeting. Also first country in the World recognizing Gonzales as the winner of voting.
Can u help us set up some kind of international company outside of Venezuela? We have 2 medical labs there, but we dont know how to set up international business banking etc. appreciate it.
it's really interesting to see how afraid venezuelans are to share their opinions about the situation - reminds me of asking the Chinese what they think of this or that issue
Yep. These places touted so highly in comparison to America are not “free” countries. That being said, our own US is quickly losing ground on the free speech - thanks to the left.
I'd say it didn't happen to Venezuela out of the blue. Chavez was already a darling of the Socialist International. In 2012, Bernie Sanders praised Venezuela, stating that the American dream was playing out there. So, that was a big, red get-out-of-dodge sign. Two years later they came for the opposition.
