This is a great story about how socialism works in real life. You want a socialist economy. Be prepared to pay a weeks wages or more for one meal.

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce ... hold the meat, the bun and the veggies. Can I buy one french fry? I will give you 3 sheets of toilet paper for it.

Socialism. This time it will work!

Sneak into a raw potato warehouse by the trash cans and grab some old potatoes that are sprouting. Plant them in the backyard and fry your own in a few months.

Just another example of how great socialism would work, if only they found the right people and did it the right way..

A very deceptive headline. If you get the $235.00 combi meal the fries are included, and you also get a large drink with free refills.

Are they fried in beef tallow or that nasty stuff they use here?

This is about UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE and why it’s absolutely necessary to hit the reset button and require a national voter ID card and severely limit the franchise to legal citizens that are not felons or on public assistance.

The Constitution does not protect these classes, they can be excluded via numerous avenues.

Maduro just jails any viable opponent and will be in charge with full Cuban communist regime support until he croaks or is taken out.

He will never lose an election.

We are Venezuela.

Obama wins a third term if was allowed to run.

One thing I am sure of.

If somehow SHRILLARY! is elected, the US military will send her to hell and institute a provisional government.

Time to neutralize the CPUSA.

There’s no way anyone could afford to pay that much for fries. So, that may be the price but they won’t be fryin’ any tators.

Sounds like prices on the Planet Algon:

Here an ordinary cup of drinking chocolate costs four million pounds, an immersion heater for the hot-water tank costs over six billion pounds, and a pair of split-crotch panties would be almost unobtainable. A simple rear window de-misting device for an 1100 costs eight thousand million billion pounds and a new element for an electric kettle like this would cost as much as the entire gross national product of the United States of America from 1770 to the year 2000, and even then they wouldn’t be able to afford the small fixing ring which attaches it to the kettle.

So if they are really in business then someone is buying the fries. Who are the people that pay that much for fries - the new nomenklatura?

I lived in Venezuela in the 70s. I loved it. Very sad what Venezuela has become today.

The black market rate for exchange is the real rate of exchange based on value of the currency.

Venezuela will not be saved by elections as the elections are nothing but fraud and the last election was not won by the communist Maduro. That election was stolen by electoral fraud. Venezuela will only be saved by violent revolution. I hope the good guys win.
