Venezuela just notched an important milestone in the brief history of the Bloomberg Misery Index: For the fourth year in a row, the Latin American socialist paradise was ranked the world's "most miserable" economy, with a score on the misery index that's more than three times as large as its score from 2017. But this year, the rest of the countries atop the list of the most miserable will more closely resemble Venezuela as rising prices surpass unemployment as the greatest contributor to global misery, according to Bloomberg. Perhaps the most notable move is South Africa. Cape Town, one of the country's largest cities, is facing such a severe water shortage due to a severe drought that the city could essentially run out of water in less than 100 days. Meanwhile, the country's ruling party finally forced out its deeply unpopular leader, former President Jacob Zuma, but disillusionment with the ANC, the country's ruling party since the end of apartheid, continues to simmer. Poster Comment: I disagree with half of their best country picks. China, Thailand and Israel as good countries. And what about Mexico, Nicaragua and other violent prone shitholes?
