Find a job doing almost anything and being able to afford all of this is the best time traveling gift.

Also get a little house on that salary, oh if only.

Never thought I live to see someone fuck up worse than Bush Jr.

He just got the US into a war where there’s nothing to gain, zero upsides other than bending the k we to Israel.

From Venezuela living abroad, had the same output on a different situation.

Family was traveling to EU from Caracas, called directly without texting first via cell phone to get an idea of how ready they where to depart and all the anticipation for the trip and boom, seems like someone I don’t know is handling the phone.

Thoughts racing on my head: we’re they kidnapped, were they kidnapped? What is actually happening?

I tried to reach out using other providers and even going trough a landline, same output. A voice saying they’ll get to the phone soon and calling them to come and pick up the device. Super unsettling.

Then my wife’s phone rang via WhatsApp and it was them, they were there saying are ready for the trip and that all was on track unbeknownst to all the events.

So, without going into a lot of detail I think is by design from the current administration of narco dictatorship in Venezuela. A friend’s and family VoiP company loyal to their leaders routing by default on their own carrier once the calls go onshore within their network.

A way to make money out of this is routing calls trough a maze of providers of their own to catch a “a quarter a minute” and spread unsettling thoughts on the general population who has family abroad.

After this we all started a group on Signal and hoped for a better way to communicate privately.
