Originally posted by Votesh It sound like you friend was fired by the company for his beliefs, and not forced out of work by the government. I've heard of similar threats being made against americans by their bosses if they didn't vote for a certain politician.
Also, I like how your story went from you had multiple friends that were forced out of work by the chavez regime, to you had one friend forced out of work by the chavez regime, to what you are saying now which is you had one friend who was forced out of work and also had a hit put out on him.
It's all very funny.
Actually, the friend above worked for the phone company that "was" private. Once the government took over, he failed to sign a card in support of Chavez and was fired.
I have a lady working for me that has been a permanent resident in Florida for 2 years and is in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. Her son is living in her house in Venezuela. Since he is in he early 20s, the government is planning on moving one or 2 families in her house.
Is that funny enough for you?
Edit: Hey rocket scientist, go back and look at my original posts you will see that I said I have friends and know people. You just verified the obvious.
