No ham bread, either
Wow. No beer, birth control pills, breast implants, or make-up. Sounds like Iraq.
I wonder if they are working hard on the guillotine shortage?
Not good. Alcohol seems to be one of the things that helps ease the pain of socialism. Wonder how long the USSR would have lasted without Vodka?
Time for some pruno.
They should all steal boats and go to the Socialist Island Paradise of Cuber as “immigrants”.
There isn't anything Socialism can't destroy.
it’s not a real crisis until bankers’ bonuses are negatively impacted
Can those living on the border with other countries go across to buy needed stuff? Is Venezuelan money good outside? When do the riots start? In earnest?
Too bad Venezuela doesn’t have any natural resources, such as oil. /sarcasm.
Wow, things are really getting serious.
Food, electricity, who cares, but beer?
There will be revolution!
Send them ecstasy pills. They are in a socialist paradise.
There aren’t a lot of posts coming from the blogger I read, Daniel Duquenal.
Its a struggle for daily existence now with the opposition in control of the legislature passing all kinds of bills against the regime.
President Maduro can’t veto their bills, but the top court he’s packed can shoot down the bills as they come out of the legislature.
Its a political standoff where the regime knows it hangs by a thread.
But the people suffer more and more each day.
Things get worse for the people on the streets, but I guess if the people who have the guns get taken care of, the regime stays in.
No worry.... Everyone is equal now.
Better yet send our welfare recipients there. Their money will be big bucks. Just can’t buy anything. Return and get cut off.
I guess every cloud has a silver lining.
So, wouldn’t the shortage of soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant and toilet paper remedy the shortage of birth control pills and condoms?
OK...PANIC!
(Airplane reference)
Venezuela has run out of currency paper and cannot afford to buy new stocks for the Bolivar. As one news source put it, "...the Bolivar is not worth a paper napkin...."
So a poor Venezuelan trying to cross the border with his wheelbarrow full of worthless Bolivars is caught on the horns of a dilemma: If caught by the Venzuelan border guards he is open to charges of smuggling valuable toilet paper out of the country, if he succeeds in the crossing, he finds the Bolivar is worth less than Brazilian or Colombian toilet paper.
