Own a company in Venezuela? If you are one of the few successful companies left that hasn't been nationalized, you won't be much longer because they are getting too much rain.
The recent rains have left 70,000 people homeless, mostly in the coastal area where millions live in hillside shantytowns and have had mudslides ruin homes.
Wait, isn't Venezuela an OPEC nation? And rich as all get out? Indeed they are, so it seems odd that Chavez blames other capitalists - the ones making him rich - for rain yet doesn't spend any money to get his people out of cardboard boxes.
He did put on a PR show, inviting 25 of the new homeless people to stay with him in the opulent Presidential palace.
