Venezuela price regulators on Friday seized almost 4 million toys from warehouses around greater Caracas and said they’d distribute them to low income children ahead of the Christmas holiday.

With the nation's currency hyperinflating faster than a CNN Russian hacking story, this confiscation of 'unfairly-priced' toys is likely the only way to keep the Grinch from the door of this socialist nirvana.

Welcome back FR! jeez, a day without FR is a day without truth

[JudyinCanada]

Hope nobody overcharges for toilet paper.

Now we know who Santa Clause is......

[goldstategop]

They stole merchandise from a business and redistributed it.

I don’t care for theft by state thugs. Do you?

[Paladin2]

Sanity Clause. That’s what Venezuela needs.

[dynachrome]

I wonder how those stores will stay in business. Obozo would do the same if he dared.

[lafroste]

Except I’ll bet you a doughnut that those toys will never end up in poor Venezuelan children’s hands. The regime will reason that it’s need for cash is more pressing and they’ll sell them on the black market “for the good of the people”.

[Vince Ferrer]

2017 headline: No Venezuelan companies import toys for Christmas. Children hardest hit.

[dangerdoc]

nothing says Merry Christmas like benefiting from theft.

[Sasparilla]

...Hope nobody overcharges for toilet paper...
Or, beer

Welcome back FR.

[steve86]

Won’t end well.

[right way right]

That’s the problem with socialism, eventually you run out of toys to steal.

[SaveFerris]

I knew an importer-exporter.

But he only wanted to focus on one part of it.

Is George having an affair with Elaine?

[Joe Bfstplk]

Do they have 4,000 kids left after shipping them all to us by the train load?

>>>They stole merchandise from a business and redistributed it.

I think this shows the end is near. You can’t do this and expect business to keep trying. There will be no more toys period. Why would these companies restock their warehouses. Assuming they can afford to since they lost their inventory.

The average child in that nation would prefer a few more kilos of food instead.

Who knows what evil? Yeah, in a place that far gone, it could be a pretense.
