re: Chile voted out Pinochet’s constitution 78%-21%

They’re currently the richest per capita South American country. They’ll take a couple years to enact the Constitution. And then five years to craziness.

This is unfortunate. I’ve spent a lot of time in Chile, have some good friends there. It was a fascinating country to do business in throughout the ‘90’s and last decade, but the masses could never get over the violence Pinochet exacted on his opponents. But they had a twenty or so year run where the form of capitalism they practiced was truer than ours.
