how sad is it when you can't even afford beans and rice... if there was any beans and rice that is

Venezuela's political and economic crisis has done deep and lasting damage to its population’s health. In the past year, 74.3 percent of the population has lost weight -- an average of 8.7 kilograms (19 pounds) per person – because of food scarcity, according to a recent study by three of Caracas' largest universities (UCAB, USB and UCV) and the nonprofit Bengoa Foundation.

“In November, 90 percent of the population said it couldn’t afford enough to eat, according to the AP.” I thought it was a lot, but this is AP. Makes you wonder.
Can’t we send a couple hundred thousand College Kids to help out. This is what they have been taught their whole lives, that this is the best Economic System ever invented.
This is all Trump’s fault. And global warming. Oh, and uh, Fox News!
They will all say it is America’s fault.
Because... American Frackers produced too much oil and natural gas, forcing Saudi Arabia to push prices to fall, and reducing the amount of money that Venezuela got for selling its oil.
See. It is all America’s fault!
They will not try to explain why the all knowing central planners in the Venenzuelan government did not foresee this possibility, and keep up the oil production infrastructure, or maybe put some of the money in their Swiss and Panamanian Bank Accounts to use buying food...
Truly, to liberals, a great dream is being realized. They won’t talk about it for fear of being seen as they really are.
The people of Venezuela might starve to death but they will be free of all the horrible diseases of Western civilization like heart disease, gout, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure. So they really are very lucky and also they have free medical care for everyone. A true paradise. And also they won’t overpopulate the world because they won’t have as many children. And those that they do have will not survive to adulthood as much.
And just think of the reduced carbon footprint. Since their entire economy depends on raping Mother Earth for her oil, there will be even less carbon produced.
Seanny Penn should be inviting all these into his massive homes....come on Seanny, be a good little communist and feed and house these people...
And I am supposed to do what?
Meanwhile in Hollyweird: “I WANT THAT DIET!”
IN Ecuador, was in a hotel, with a guy who had 100 credit cards, laundering money, charging his card, and getting cash back. He said the only one could survive in Venuezuela was by being corrupt.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a big anti-Maduro protest today?
Unless you are in a position to shoot Maduro, nothing. However, this is a tragic illustration of the evils of socialism and you can point that out to the snowflakes in this country who want to follow suit.
To the photographer, next time dirty up the kids’ bare feet.
I’ve seen urchins gobble raw rice spilled from my 35,000 bag cargo in the years right after Baby Doc and Michelle Bennet left on the plane
It was heart wrenching
I’d feed them but adult men would take food from them

AP admits it lies. You can find people living in filth all over the world.
I used to do home visits right here in the US that looked just like this. It’s not so much lack of money but lack of IQ and cleaning skills. They had money for booze, drugs and bling but no money for food or a bar of soap.
What a shame. I nation rich in resources and this is the best they can do.
What is it in the Spaniard blood that attracts them to socialismo? Compare the former British colonies to former Spanish colonies. Every Spanish colony is still on the edge of a third world nation or stuck in a 110 year time warp.
90% of those starving people would still vote for another socialist.
