Social media is awash with striking images of #EmptyShelvesInVenezuela (#AnaquelesVaciosEnVenezuela) as the evaporation of basic human staples such as toilet paper has now been hyperinflated to total chaos at warehouses and supermarkets. As President Maduro decries the loss of $100 oil "stability", vowing to return oil prices to their rightful places (and heads to China for help), lines reach for miles for milk and soap... and the people defy governmental bans on photographing empty market shelves... "We couldn't find shampoo, so we washed our hair with soap. Now there's not even soap."

I’m really surprised that asshat Obama hasn’t already jumped in the middle of this giving Maduro what he needs out of our pockets to prop him up.

It is true: “socialism works until you run out of someone else’s money.” Now the clown Maduro is looking for a source of “someone else’s money.” The idiot is a silly, silly fool, a dangerous fool as are all dictators.

I was thinking of vacationing in Venezuela, right after my vacation in Syria. After that, I head off to Somolia.

Obama is to busy working to bring Maduro’s plan here to America.

Well over 60% of America wants this. They vote for socialists in both parties every election.

Collectivism survives as long as there are handouts from larger sponsor states.

Collectivism survives as long as there are handouts from larger sponsor states. Which is why Cuba went looking for a new buddy.
To: Kartographer
Even Russia and Cuba weren’t this bad.

“...*MADURO SAYS PLANS ON DEVELOPING OIL PRICE STRATEGY ON TRIP...”
******************************************************************************************************
The clueless El Presidente Maduro apparently is too stupid to realize that part of OPEC’s strategy is to put up with low oil prices so countries such as Venezuela will be bankrupt and not have the means to develop their potential oil resources. Mr Maduro, face it, you’ve run out of other people’s money and nobody wants to give you any more to carry your beloved “workers’ paradise” that you’ve created.

This is what happens when pour people get a hold of soaps and shampoos.
They pour too much...and run out...
Not a big deal if you’re an Amway distributor.
