Lots of love!
yes you all did - but there was no oops!
when disasters happen around the world, it affects everyone that knows about it to some degree. i suppose it means deep down we all care about the lives of each other and wish the best possible situations for each other. stay safe
Os felicito a todos vosotros que el rescate de los mineros ha tenido éxito. Cómo ha dicho uno de ellos, fue una lucha entre Dios y el diablo, y Dios ha ganado, como siempre.
Es lamentable que vuestro ilustre presidente, Augusto Pinochet, no ha vivido para ver este momento de triunfo, pero estoy seguro que él ha pedido a Dios para ayudarles.
Enhorabuena a todos. ¡Viva Chile, y viva Pinochet!
(As for us up here, we have our own continuing crisis, but as you will see next month after the midterm elections, we will start the ball rolling back in the "right" direction).
Thanks a lottttttt for ur words... Unfortunately I strongly disagree on Pinochet's issue :) (due to some personal familiar really crappy experience....sighs... and due to my own beliefs as well)
But that's not the topic right now
So still , even if we can have dif. political point of views... we still can agree that what just happened was a miracle

"According to various reports and investigations 1,200–3,200 people were killed, up to 80,000 were interned, and up to 30,000 were tortured by his regime including women and children The new government also implemented economic reforms, including the privatization of several state-controlled industries and the rollback of many state welfare institutions."

But now is the time to rejoice!!
Hell yeah Cheeky ...that's the reality... Also it's time to move on and make it better!!!!
Of course, no one mentions that the state owned institutions were the result of the Marxist governemnt of the socialist Allende, who sent Chile into an economic tailapin during his regime from 1970-73. His worthless hijaputa had the audacity to show her face during the miners crisis.
It was Pinochet who brought in the "Chicago Boys" from the school of economics (Friedman disciples) to convert the economy into a free market system to allow Chile to recover economically during the late '70s and throughout the 1980s. Augusto salvó a Chile.
But you'll never hear this from the anticapitalist libs, who still believe that governmental compulsive redistribution of wealth is the answer to the world's ills. They're continually making excuses for the economic basket case of Latin America, Castro's Cuba, which hasn't seen the light of day in over 50 years. Great place to go for junkyard auto parts if you have a vehicle from the 1950s, though.
Right wing authoritarian regimes have concluively shown better economic growth than their leftist counterparts. Spain under Franco, Chile under Pinochet, and South Africa under the Afrikaners. Even Vladimir Putin couldn't deny that more blacks owned cars in South Africa under apartheid than whites in the USSR did.
You should be very proud of your country at this time. I know many countries helped, but they had to come together as one to get this job accomplished. It truly is a miracle. I was very relieved when all were finally on the surface. The whole world watched and awaiting along with Chilians.
