From your source: 'Beginning in January 2019, during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, the U.S. applied additional economic sanctions to individuals or companies in the petroleum, gold, mining, and banking industries'
If you check the GDP per capita of Venezuela it was increasing at positive rate immediately after Chavez took power.
Life expectancy was also increasing after Chavez had taken over. https://data.who.int/countries/862

Most Venezuelan refugees cite crime, access to food and healthcare as reasons for leaving.
Guess what US sanctions were causing. If you guessed lack of food and supplies for healthcare which caused an increase in crime, you'd be correct.If socialism doesn't work, why do they spend so many resources making sure it fails?

The majority of Venezuelan refugees cite crime, inflation and lack of food/health security.
Those problems are a direct result of US sanctions.
The US implemented those sanctions to destabilize the government.

I haven't read the article, but know a little bit. This is a thing only a person that thinks space is magic would think is a good idea. The big reason is heat. More specifically how to get rid of it. Our more realistic and earthbound data centers primarily use electricity to power cooling. How do you get rid of the heat in space? There's nothing to transfer the heat to.

I miss it... I never knew how much I'd appreciate seeing who down voted me. Occasionally I'd think, 'hmmm this guy with opinions I respect didn't like that? Why?' more often I'd think 'hahaha nazi'
