It’s sad that Venezuela people were warned about their descent into socialism, but they just asked for more, and did they get it!

That’s how it works. Inflation like this renders all savings worthless. It takes one’s life savings and turns them to $hit.
Meanwhile, the ruling elites live high off the hog. They lose nothing.
This is what you get when you elect communists.

Didn’t Trump say something about the problem was that Socialism has been implemented perfectly in Venezuela?

I thought that statement needed to be one of his all-time great quotes.

“They'd get more for it on ebay”

That is true. Look what happened to the value of Saddam Hussein’s paper money. It is now selling well above face value as collector's items.
