Let Them Eat CakeTres Leches.

In this topsy-turvey world, today’s repeal of the 2A semi-satire seems more reality, and this Venezuela supermarket real story seems more semi-satire.

"He's got a point, you know. How can you argue with that?"

[Slyfox]

Yep, and babies keep getting bigger cause you keep feeding them.

[Vaquero]

One of the oil richest nation in the area and yet their people starve. Socialism at its best!

[DannyTN]

Now how can you argue with that?

I had to read the article twice because I thought he was joking. He wasn't joking.

“Thank God there is a Bolivarian Revolution and our people have a right to eat meat, chicken, milk, that they did not have ten, 14 years ago,” he alleged.

They have the right to eat unicorn meat as well. Problem is, no unicorns. And in any case, the Chavistas seized power in 1999.

[Cboldt]

And the people wouldn’t be hungry if they ate more.

[Doogle]

...and this guy wouldn’t need a truck load of sh t paper if he weren’t an azzhole

[Hot Tabasco]

“Burp!”

[ThanhPhero]

If Venezuelans didn’t eat so much as they do nowadays, there would be progressively less reason to have grocery stores at all as the population dwindles due to starvation.

It can not be said enough times-that everything the Democrat party wants for this nation is on full display in Venezuela.

And on that note-What happened to the picture of Jimmuh Carter shaking hands with Chavez? It seems to have disappeared.

Also what is the net worth of this former Venezuelan VP? Take a wild guess it's in the 6 figures?

I went on 3 sports mission trips to work with the urban poor in Valencia, Venezuela in 2001, 04, and 07. The poverty was grinding, but there was food in the stores, modern well stocked shopping malls, and great restaurants. However, you could see what was coming. The poor figured they weren't any worse off than under the old regime, and they were right, just now everyone is suffering.

Interesting though, the church folks we worked with weren't fooled by Chavez, not fans of socialism.

Socialism is the equality to starve to death.

Except for the elite with their special shops. They look morbidly obese compared to the starving masses over which they rule.

Fat for me but not for thee.

[Enchante]

There’d be lots of food around if people would just stop eating!!!

[Yaelle]

This is what I say to my family every time I come back from the store. The fridge would always be full if you guys would just stop eating all this food I get.

[Feckless]

Rates right up there with “Outside of the killings, DC has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.” -Marion Barry

[sparklite2]

Damn straight. And think how full stores
would be if people didn’t eat at all!

[pabianice]

I will argue that no one in the U.S. should be allowed to vote until they have spent at least six months in Asia or the Middle East. I am always surprised at the stock of goods you see in almost any U.S. grocery store.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Did the minister intend this as an April Fool’s joke?

Like Elom Musk joking about bankruptcy?
