“The Terrifying Reality” op-ed in the El Universal
excerpt:
Seeing empty supermarkets and grocery stores, comrade, and getting an “out of stock” as usual reply when asking for essential goods cause nostalgia, anxiety, despair, and frustration among the citizens.
The same negative reply is heard in grocery stores, fruit shops, butcher’s shops, pharmacies, spare parts stores, tire shops, hardware stores, dry cleaners, bakeries, book stores, appliance stores, clothing and footwear stores, electronics stores, and any other stores where mass consumption products are sold. The “we do not have it” reply is also common in medical and dental practices, public and private hospitals, which are currently hit by lack of equipment, supplies, and specialized staff to properly take care of patients.

“There are cells available in Romo Verde prison” - Venezuelan Vice President Jorge Arreaza said.
Venezuelan Vice-President Jorge Arreaza accused the opposition of trying to incite violence in the country. “The right wing is trying to set the country on fire.” Arreaza also stressed that “in Ramo Verde (military prison) there are still many cells available for those who dare to try to harm the peace of the Republic with political violence.”
“If you want to join that guy (detained dissenter Leopoldo López) in Ramo Verde, there is enough room there,” Arreaza said on Sunday during a government event.

Stop, I can hear democrats drooling
How can a country run out of generic ibuprofen?
even the Catholic Bishops blame this on socialism, hopefully they won’t be thrown in prison.
Venezuela is turning into North Korea right before our eyes.
Those that implement socialism are guilty of crimes against humanity. Maduro is getting in trouble because he is running out of the hard currency he needs to pay the goons and thugs that suppress the people.
You voted for it Venezuela.
Enjoy it.

Coming to a neighborhood near you, one suspects there that long waits will happen with long lines (and declined service) for inferior healthcare under Obamacare [sic].
