When Maduro first took office in 2013, the country was troubled by weak growth, debt and falling oil prices. During that time, the country’s economy was growing at a rate of 1.3 percent. That same year, the country’s oil revenues totaled more than $85 billion – about 98 percent of the country’s annual export earnings. But the prices of oil is dwindling.

 The European Union must recognize Venezuelan congress leader Juan Guaido as the president of the South American country, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said, pressing not just individual European governments but the bloc as a whole.

The United States Treasury Department announced they would be imposing sanctions on figures close to President Maduro, Reuters reports.

The Media wants people to think that the country is split because of this or that action.
This is not a new era where the country have different opinion about different things. It is healthy to have different opinion particularly regarding War, Healthcare, Illegal Immigration, Social Security. In addition, the current Media, as they admit all the time, is after the ratings. It is a money generation machine.

 A study published in Stroke, a journal of the AHA, reveals women age 50 and above who consume more than one artificially sweetened drink a day are significantly more likely to have a stroke, a heart attack and an early death.
The study examined data on 81,714 women ages 50-79 tracked for an average of 12 years. 
The American Beverage Association pointed out that regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Agency consider artificial sweeteners safe.
The study only shows an association, not a cause-and-effect correlation. These results are not applicable to men or younger women.

Amazon’s decision to drop its expansion plans in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens plunged local real estate brokers into despair -- just months after the euphoria that followed the company’s announcement that it would open offices there and bring thousands of jobs. But not just despair. Also anger.
Mayor de Blasio and  Governor Cuomo lobbied hard for the deal, drawing backlash from local politicians and community organizers who objected to $3 billion in government incentives for a trillion Dollar company at a time when the city faces budget cuts and both are trying to tax the little people if you dare to drive to work in Manhattan.

 These two politicians  drove the NYC Subway System to the ground and made people's  daily commute a nightmare. Not to mention the other nightmare, NYCHA.

The two, Extra ordinare, did zero effort to improve the lives of the people in the city and created the congestion that they want to tax.  More money, more money.
