This news in yesterday's paper is from Venezuela, but you can bet your bippy folks here are familiar with someone turning a so-called prison into a resort. 🙃 He's escaped with an unknown number of accomplices, too.
Sometimes I really, really wonder about the absurdity of it all.
Another key lesson from Colombia, where there's going to be a passport shortage due to bad contracting / scandals.
All our institutions run on arbitrary rules shaped by money and political whim. The rules for who gets to go where, whose passport is most powerful... all run along paths shaped by ancient tribalism and ongoing corruption.
It's up to us to remember that we are *not* the states we inhabit - even though our fortunes are shaped by them.
