So any action by a sovereign nation can always be described as "sane" or "reasonable"?


To me, calling them "crazy" is insulting to their culture and people. For the label to be justified, you'd have to argue the action contributes to ruin.

For example, I think the Venezuelan leadership has made crazy decisions that are being borne out now.

But, I would not put a ban on BBQ in that same category.


No you don't have to argue that, what on earth are you talking about? Good god...

Look at the way the word is used in this context. "Crazy regulatory..." That doesn't insult the culture or people, that's specifically talking about regulations. It's widely accepted that laws can be "crazy", i.e. silly, stupid, unreasonable, in every country. It's not a personal attack on the people.

Contributed to ruin...wow
