This is what hillary wants for Americans.
Chef Boyardee probably has the same status as champagne and caviar over there now.
You see how valuable they are in Socialist Countries.
You know the U.S.A is truly wealthy when restaurants give water out for free.
Socialism at its finest hour. Just what the Elites want for the USA. They are sick and tired of the plebeians having the same stuff as they do, cars, summer homes, boats, airplanes, albeit overcrowded ones, and plenty of food to eat. They are the Masters. We are the Slaves and damn well ought to live and act like it. Mandingo 2.0!
Yesterday they order people to the fields for 60 days. you know that will be extended.
I fear that 2 million people will parish if nothing changes fast.
Socialism. It’s great! Obamazuela.
This is eerily similar to Germany prior to the rise of a certain young Austrian man named Adolf.
I feel sorry for those born in a country that had turned to socialism to make thing better for the ruling class but set up their own deaths from starvation.
They’ve started the Recall of the Bus Driver
And while that is affordable for consumers, the price of flour and other key items is below the cost of production -- so domestic producers have stopped making it.
To expand on that a little but significant bit: the price is below the cost of production whether the producer is private or the government. Sending people out in the fields for 60 days at a time as slave mandatory "volunteer" labor isn't going to save the cost of that labor, since those people have to be fed even if they aren't paid. And incidentally, it takes quite a bit more than 60 days to grow a crop of wheat, harvest it, mill it, package it, and distribute it for sale. Six months for spring wheat, eleven for winter wheat. You can do a lot of starving in the intervening time.
The article was full of praise for how Chavez cut poverty and raised literacy in the first weeks of the great plundering of the Venezuelan economy. How that led to starvation...well, it's a great mystery, isn't it?
(from the CNN article):" Supplies are so limited that CNN recently found a 1 kg bag of dried pasta selling for an astronomical 200 times its official price in Caracas."
"Getting the food on the black market is illegal and can be dangerous. And it is just too expensive for so many people in Venezuela.
Just buying these three staples -- one bag each of flour, pasta and milk powder -- could swallow up almost an entire month's pay for those on minimum wage, about 15,000 to 20,000 bolivares.
And that's why, of course, so many people have no option but to go to the public supermarket for their subsidized food. There are stringent rules. they try to work out which store may have what they need, then stand in line for hours upon hours, and still they may come out with next to nothing." .. going to the black market sellers known pejoratively as "bachaqueros" or profiteers, is not feasible. "I make between 12,000 and 15,000 bolivares a month. If I buy from the bachaqueros, my whole salary is blown on three kilos of rice."
