Empty store shelves are a recipe for revolution. I think Maduro knows that, which is why he’s high tailed it to China. This thing is about to bust wide open.

When we went to Mexico a few years ago, some of the tourist area toilets required you to purchase toilet paper on site. The seller was backed up with an ARMED GUARD!

Everyone bought.

Bidets can reduce the need for TP.

Marie Antoinette, is that you, lol? But of course one should use one's bidet if there is no papier du toilette, how silly of these little people.

[dalereed]

Make your own soap like we had to do durring WW-2!!

[Eagles6]

So the US has blockaded VZ?

[Pajamajan]

But....why don't they just give everyone soap for free?

More of the joys of Socialism on display in Venezuela.

BO BUMP

A true “pay toilet”!

Dictators who leave home often return to find they aren’t in power anymore. He may have to move in with the Castro brothers.

Us little people will have to settle for the garden hose on the front lawn.

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.

When he gets to China he's going to find the money shelves bare because we have been using up their money for the last six years. The clown Soetoro has effectively created a one man run on the Bank of China.

They were bad but at least something was on the shelves. I have a friend from Bulgaria who left after Russia collapsed. He tells some pretty bad stories. Waiting 4 to 5 years to buy a tv. The lines for food.

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

When you head to Somalia be sure to book a pirate cruise. Went last year and it was my best cruise ever. Spring for the mini gun adventure if you can afford it, it's money well spent ;-)

How can you tell the peasants-we’re all covered in s***!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

lines reach for miles for milk and soap...

Hmmm... This sounds familiar.

Ask him about commie TV. I caught a bit of it while I was in Poland just after the wall came down. Mid-day TV consisted of watching Vietnamese peasants harvesting rice.

[driftdiver]

Yeah he said it was pretty boring.

In the “Last Policeman” book series, the cops work for dibs on the supply deliveries they protect when money becomes worthless. I can imagine store employees keeping it clean all day to keep an eye out for the deliveries to get first choice on the items as payment for staying in the store and protecting it from damage.

Two yeas left.
Don’t rule it out.
