Two weeks ago, the problem was "the sun was closer to the earth", which was causing blackouts all over Venezuela... but not Guyana, Colombia, Brazil or anywhere else. Before that, it was iguanas fornicating on electrical lines. God forbid the people be told the truth that 19 years of Chavismo hasn't done diddly squat to maintain or upgrade the electrical infrastructure.
