CARACAS, Venezuela –  Venezuela's public employees will work only on Monday and Tuesday as the country grapples with an electricity crisis.

President Nicolas Maduro announced Tuesday that the government was slashing working hours for at least two weeks in a bid to save energy.

Officials said that the water level behind the nation's largest dam has fallen to near its minimum operating level thanks to a severe drought. Experts say lack of planning and maintenance is also to blame

Won't work of course. They already tried shutting down for a week and that did not help. This is one of those socialist "droughts" that always affects commie countries.
