#1 Recession is the new term for collapse*.

Should have figured that out in the toilet paper crisis many months back.

#8 And the Chinese are handling Venezuela oil for a price, which included 300,000 BBL/day to service the loans Venezuela has with the Chinese.

However, with lower oil prices, Venezuela was facing possible default on its loans from China so loans are being restructured to prevent default. Ah, the socialist ~~hellhol~~e paradise that Hugo created. [Captain Cash Flow strikes again ---bwahahaha!]

Caracas restructures China oil-backed loans
