Preppers' PING!!
Valencia has big factories that produce food and other essentials. Still, the list of goods in short supply is long.
It includes coffee, cooking oil, cornmeal, soap, detergent, you name it.
Chicken is one of the most coveted.

Physical fights for the chance to buy diapers.
I suspect this is a problem for with enough cash and time to wait in line for the chance to purchase.

Congratulations, Venezuela!
You have just created a new job opportunity - professional line-standers. Pay them and they will keep a place in line for you while you go try to scrap up money to pay for the stuff you want.
With the advent of cell phones you can even hire several!

Maybe they just need to Tax the Rich some more, or pass laws that guarantee equal outcomes. Worked well so far!

The is what The Road to Serfdom looks like.

Will Lilianal figure out that Santo Hugo’s socialism is the cause of her discomfort and inconvenience. No, no. It was that Bush and the smell of sulfur.

They voted for socialism.
They got tyranny.
It happens EVERY time.
“Help put me in power and I will give you free stuff!”
“How can I give you free stuff? The world doesn’t work that way. Now get out of the way while I go to my private island.”

And yet, Christina Kirchner seems well-fed and is carrying a nice fat wallet. Good to be the queen.

I visited Caracas awhile back and I was astounded by the level of poverty a short hour drive from the city. People lived in boxes. The rich ones had crates.

Civil War immediately erupted when Lincoln was elected as President. If the idiots ever elect Bernie Sanders, we would face a similar choice of that or else become Venezuela. May God spare us.
