RE:RE:RE:RE:Should I keep posting articles?The socialists in America can just print the money to pay for all their spending. Ecuador does not have that luxury. They need businesses like mining and oil to generate tax revenue. Socialists are nothing without money to spend. These local referendums are meaningless. The national government controls the permitting process. The environmental nut jobs like Yaku will probably try to hold things up in the courts, but that will only cause temporary delays.
