CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's socialist government ordered public workers on Tuesday to work a two-day week as an energy-saving measure in the crisis-hit South American OPEC country.

Trump for President.
Somehow I think that won’t involve those two days being 20-hour work days...
And working less will help produce more goods and services that they need.
See how smart government is?

So take all these immigrants (who are supposed to be helping the US economy) and send them there instead
Venezuela is nearing the end scenario of “Atlas Shrugged”.
We’re wrapping up the first third.
Can somebody send this article to all the Bernie’s supporters?
Sean Penn better get down there pretty quick to save the country's socialist dictatorship as he has been prone to do in other totalitarian countries and islands south of our border.

“managing the distribution of ever decreasing scarce resources”
One of the biggest oil producers, and energy is a “scarce resource”? Buy every family a gas -> electric generator already ya socialists. Put that $0.15/gal gas to work!
2 days a week. Probably 1 more than they really need.
To all the Chavezistas (and Maduro supporters): when 90 percent of Venezuelans are unemployed, who will pay you your welfare that you’ve stolen from “the rich”? Now that the rich are poor, where do you go? Ask the government? Silly you, the government and their cronies have THEIRS and they sure aren’t going to share with the likes of you. Suckers.

When VZ finally gets to the snapping point, it will a bloody day for anyone remotely associated with the collectivist government.
The only question remaining is the day of the snapping point.
All of us need a Savior.
