Wow. The first sentence is so wrong I can't even. Venezuela's problems are entirely self-inflicted. US sanctions have very little effect on the worth of their money. Spending vastly more than they make, in part because of their incompetence at running an oil industry, is causing the hyperinflation. The second part about the Berkeley city council proposing a dumb idea is a "dog bites man" story. It's not news when they suggest doing something dumb. It's only news when they try something crazy and it ends up being a great idea.
