Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
Yeah, that will work to improve the economy. Right.
Everything that moron does makes things worse. Paying attention, Bernie?

WTF
Lol.
exactly what I was going to say - both comments!
Amazing to see an oil rich country so completely destroyed in just 16 years.
That should be the tipping point. The people have nothing left to lose now.
I wonder if they are going to make imaginary products with imaginary supplies.
I was thinking Mao.
Exactly what my co-worker said today as we were looking at a picture of riots in Caracas.
