If they hadn’t been freed from job-lock by their government, the wouldn’t have been able to make the choice to riot.

When this happens in the US, a trip to the govrnment food lines will make argentina and venezuela look like paradise.

I’ve been reading about the milk shortage there for at least 2 years.

The communists transformed Venezuela into a country where you have to fight over milk and toilet paper.

When you beg a guy to transform your country, sometimes you get what you asked for good and hard.

[Vince Ferrer]

Take notes.

I remember receiving an email from a friend who had just taken a consulting job in Caracas before Chavez took over. She emailed me and said they were pulling people out of houses and shooting them on the street outside where she was. Fortunately she had some coworkers who sheltered her. Americans were apparently big targets of the communists.

A look into the paradise that awaits us....

Ping.

Socialism of anything creates an nearly-instantaneous shortage of that thing.

(U. S. Healthcare, as it progresses down the shining collectivist path? The waits for rationed care will be killers (perhaps literally so).

How's that vote for Hugo Chavez workin' out for ya?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Mama always said, why buy the cow when the milk can be looted in a food riot?

[Responsibility2nd]

 

Warning. Graphic pics of the violence.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Just as predicted. How many times will people fall for the lie that you can have something for nothing?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Socialism / Communism, with a long tradition of bringing out the best in people... Stalin Mao Ceaușescu Pol Pot Kim Jong-il and a host of others...

“While we were talking, a man arrived, stuck his hand into a pile of bags of bread on a shelf and “found” a can of milk.”

I wouldn’t fight over milk found hidden in the bread. They must like it sour?

If Saudi Arabia went socialist, they’d be out of sand in five years.

[elkfersupper]

Last I heard, they had lots of cattle in Venezuela.

There shouldn't be any problem with milk and the people shouldn't have to buy it in cans.

Apparently, the citizens of Venezuela are victims of their own rulers, who apparently decided to regulate and restrict production, distribution, packaging and price.

We in the U.S. are headed there if we don't wake up.

[GeronL]

A country where the laws/regulations make it impossible to even produce toilet paper while imported toilet paper is selling for big bucks.
