This is terrible news. FARC conscription can destroy the country as we know it. who's winning the war on terrorism? we need a different strategy... a different 'commander in chief'... the propaganda screen continues to fall apart.

Colombiareports- it's funny how you present 2 harsh realities of the country and counter it with 2 propaganda articles each time.

The sinking dollar has cost 12,000 colombians their jobs.
But go Peso, keep rising, it's great!
Right?

at Romy,
I try to do it more the other way around, as far as I try anything. I just humbly type really hard.

wages are up? hmmmm. not for the 99% of colombians who could REALLY use the raise. i don't think there's an employment statistic in colombia i'd trust. waaaaay too many variables and hundreds of thousands of non-statistal unemployed.

i forgot, rubi, they do raise their own food. if they didn't, they damn sure wouldn't eat. that's the first order of business for them. even the capos understand and don't get in the way of their edible gardening. take a trip out east antioquia way and every patch of land with some form of shelter will bear witness to this. regardless the amount of coca in cultivation. workers who don't eat, don't work.
