Venezuela Begins Power Rationing

A sign of an impending K-shift:

Fridges zapped off in kitchens across Venezuela as the government turned off the electricity supply to help ease a power shortage that is worsening the country’s economic crisis.

It is the latest drastic measure by the government in a crisis that already has Venezuelans queuing for hours to buy scarce supplies in shops…

The timing of the switch-off caught Pedro Tarazona by surprise at his shop in the town of Santa Teresa del Tuy southeast of Caracas.

The fridge was full of meat when it suddenly stopped working. So did the electric fan.

r-selection, by punishing the producers, will speed the onset of shortage and K. I suspect this will tend to happen anyway. Rabbits will always multiply faster than K-strategists. But if you begin punishing the K-strategists, you can expect that shortage to happen sooner. Notice how this is screwing up fridges full of meat, which will now go bad. It will also impact manufacturing and distribution, meaning even more fun and games.

If this persists, I expect the citizens of Venezuela will begin to transition to the Russian psychology, itself a byproduct of shortage and harshness. Eventually, the rabbits will begin to be dealt with the way anti-government leftists in Russia are dealt with, and the government will be taken over by real wolves who will make Chavez look like the pussy he was.

In the world, K-strategists will occasionally have to keep their heads down, as the rabbits rise and take over the socially dominant positions. But when things turn K, rabbits die, en masse

. And things will always turn K eventually – some times more than others. This would appear to be one of those times.

Do you think Honduras and Mexico are in the throes of K-selection right now. The violence there is beyond belief.

That means the favelas in South America should be highly K-selected. Which appears to be dominated by criminal gangs dispensing their own crude “justice” as well as waging war against the government. Yet there is rampant promiscuity there quite typical of r-selected populations.

Certainly there should be greater monogamy and chastity.

”Is the promiscuity centered around criminals who have high levels of resources from crime? ”

Certainly. If their kindred in mexico is any indication they rape girls as young as 9 years old:

Okay. Its too bad I won’t be able to live to see the results of K-selection in poor areas. But I will take your word for it.
