Fiscal deficit. That is the main reason by far of Dollar's destruction. Everything else is wrong or over-thinking.

No.

Agile core is the feedback loop. I can't believe people still don't get it. Feedback from reality is always faster than guessing on the air.

Waterfall is never great. The only time when you need something else than Agile is when lives are at stake, you need there formal specifications and rigorous testing.

SDD allows better output than traditional programming. It is similar to waterfall in the sense that the model helps you to write design docs in hours instead of days and take more into account as a result. But the feedback loop is there and it is still the key part in the process.

Lets call them buses instead of minibuses and each one has the same capacity of a wagon.

Instead of 10 formations of 6 wagons you have 60 buses.

You have same capacity and one third of traveling time per ride.

I don't know why I was downvoted for just asking a question.

I don't get it. Suppose this scenario:

- Instead of big formations, replace each wagon with an electric minibus. - Instead of stopping in all stations, each minibus stops in, lets say 3 or 4. - Each passenger checks into the bus dinamically assigned to their stop. - Minibuses can surpass each other.

You have less dwell time, each ride is reduced to one third of the time.

At the risk of being näive, Why Tube trains are still a thing?

I want underground mini buses, optimizing their stops to the passengers' inside. Most of we passengers go to hub stations.

Tubes are like a 100-year old tech without remarkable changes.

We are talking about 20% of the population here. A massive wave. They would be impoverished, imprisoned or dead have they not fled. Hard to believe people who stayed are happy about this.

But check the news, the web, talk to people objectively.I can be wrong, but I think the evidence is overwhelming, statistically speaking.Check for yourself.

They would be impoverished, imprisoned or dead have they not fled. Hard to believe people who stayed are happy about this. And exilees are 20% of Venezuela's population. It was a massive wave.

Venezuela was not a sovereign state, it wasn't people's will at all to have Maduro as head of state, rather the opposite is true.

It is a totally different business to invade a sovereign state like Mexico or Brazil. Something akin to what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

Venezuela was not a sovereign state, it wasn't people's will at all to have Maduro as head of state, rather the opposite is true.

As I have mentioned, we can only guess the real motivation behind this.

Ask people from Venezuela, check the web, the news. They are the main players in all this.
