Inflation will wipe out that gain in one day. Maduro might have given Alexandria Oscario-Cortez an idea for her first piece of legislation.

Why not just pass a law that says ‘starting now, socialism works, and everyone is well-fed and happy’?
To: C19fan
Man, if only they would have thought of that sooner.

The once-wealthy nations annual inflation now tops 800,000 percent
I don’t think 150% is gonna cut it.

And the money comes from where exactly? Remember those photo’s of Germans with wheelbarrows full of money that just maybe could buy a loaf of bread?

Reminds me of 1970s-era law in the Soviet Union proclaiming all Soviet citizens to be free. When people complained they weren’t free they were arrested for breaking the law.

Good luck not obeying the Laws of Supply and Demand. As to Cortez, I’m starting to wonder if she ever attended any college classes, not just econ.

That won’t help. The currency has no value. It once had a value, and now doesn’t. Peoples’ life savings were wiped out.
The ruling elite is not hurting, tho. They are doing quite well. They are well taken care of while the ordinary people literally starve.

Lets send every American professor and Democrat politician to Venezuela to experience the joys of socialism.

None of this will affect the thinking of a true socialist. Because they have two ready explanations:
1. Maduro is not really a socialist. So what’s happening in Venezuela means nothing.
or
2. Maduro is a socialist. But evil capitalists at home and abroad are thwarting his every move. So what’s happening in Venezuela means nothing.
(Explanation #2 is the one socialists usually used to defend Castro.)
