Hey - remember when people like me warned you against voting for Chavez?
And you laughed, sneered, gave us the finger, called us racists and lectured us about how much you cared?
Well enjoy your starvation. :)
Feeling the Bern?
Some creativity on the store’s part. What items they do have are mostly the same. It was like they said is there anything we can get in quantity and we’ll fill the shelves with it.
i bet that purple drink is yummy ....
will i get shot if I take one?
Thank you for not sticking this on your filthy blog and claiming credit for it.
you’re not dead yet?
Per other articles, a lot of the shoppers are black marketers. They stand in line for hours and resell at a profit.
In one article, a man said his maid quit and said she could make more money selling goods on the black market.
Perhaps they could get together with other stores in the area and trade out. But maybe that’s thinking too far out of the box.
One would also think they’d put items all in one area so they could turn out half the lights to save money and that electricity they say they don’t have. Turn off the music, too. But again, that’s way too far out of the common sense box.
Where’s the mobs raiding the stores of everything off the shelves?
The shelves in Venezuela are empty because people there have plenty money and have bought everything.
American stores are full of merchandise because Americans can not afford to buy anything.
Just like in the USSR.
What a bunch of crap. Notice the dozens of shelves fully stocked. The store is being renovated or re-merchandised and the shelves are empty to move shelving fixtures.
I want to see articles of how people are actively providing for their families. Are they putting in backyard gardens? Are they bartering? Are they putting their skills to work and opening home businesses? Aside from the blackmarket, are they able to go across the border to shop or is there a penalty for that? Can they order foodstuffs online? Is family moving in together to save and help each other? Or are they merely good little citizens accepting their fates?
That’s what you are voting for, snowflakes. /spite
Think you are correct.
Not one shopper
Thank you for explanation, Commisar. Socialism comes in second place, capitalism next to last.
BERNIZUELA... (from the comments)
That was my first thought but figured that would bring flak. Otherwise, as posted above, they’d be conserving energy, etc.
