Quico says: So Chávez’s announcement that, tomorrow, he will unveil a series of “economic measures” (socialistese for “paquete”, apparently) sent me scrambling back to this thread from last October, when Juan Cristobal encouraged y’all to place your bets on the exact date of the looming devaluation.
