Absolutely true about Venezuela. I can't imagine living through the economic upheaval as they have. Yet, I've seen a few on here explain what they are going through. Some are actually doing OK. For some it's a daily struggle.

• Another story was someone here in the States that was totally surrounded by flooding from the last hurricane. I read somewhere about all the relief efforts, but he told about a helicopter dropping off 2 meals consisting of a hot dog on a bun and some chips I think. If he wasn't prepared, they would have been trouble.

re: same and opposing views.
I like this idea. For each story there can be at least 3 views. Same, opposing and neutral but interested. I would like to have the top 10 views listed for each story. These views could be another article, a Steem post, or a good comment.
