Obama is the melanin-based criticism shield for the communists that back him to implement their policies and destroy America.

They should make the cards edible. Two birds.
hmmmm....does Venezuela have an edible underwear factory they could seize?

I don’t even think Venezuela is still oil-rich, as far as actual production goes.

Classic food cards and black market. Are they having a revolution or a war?
To: VanDeKoik
If we don’t stop the EPA and FDA we will be in the same boat here. Hoard up while the hoarding is good. :-)

Checkout workers at Abastos Bicentenario were taking down customers' cellphone numbers Monday, to ensure they couldn't return for eight days. Shoppers said employees also banned purchases by minors, to stop parents from using their children to engage in hoarding, which the government calls "nervous buying.""People who go shopping every day hurt us all," he said, drawing approving nods from the friends he made over the course of his afternoon slowly snaking through the aisles with his oversized cart.
What nonsense. This is not the fault of the shoppers. Get rid of the price controls, and return the stores and farms back to the private sector, and these problems will go away.

Now they will monitor how much food people are buying instead of repairing their broken system that caused the shortages

Grow your own food. Use heirloom seeds, and save them for next year. No purchase necessary. Might have to hide the garden from sight.

And more: tracking purchases. Once your stock is up to a certain level, it might be prudent to pay cash, and to not belong to a store card club. Afterall, food hoarding laws are here, they just aren’t enforced. Yet.

That’s right. We practiced this once, during WWII, with the ration card.
