Robbers and looters are targeting trucks carrying food across Venezuela in another sign of worsening shortages that have turned basics like flour and chicken into coveted booty. Crime has long plagued shops and roads in Venezuela, which has one of the world's highest murder rates. But widespread shortages due to a restriction of dollars for imports have worsened since the New Year. This has made food delivery increasingly risky even as certain trucks have been fitted with GPS devices and are sometimes protected by private security agents.

Freedom Fries!!
It is called survival in a socialist country.
Was your question meant for Venezuela or the World?
Free food and everything to everybody!
Viva Hussein Obama!
“Free food and everything to everybody!
Viva Hussein Obama!”
As I posted 2 days ago, when a government offers free everything, someone must be robbed or enslaved.
Look at so-called hero Marxist Nelson Mandelas country. Free everything..........no jobs....no food....rampant crime.
As Walter Williams put it, “In order for one person to get a thing without paying for it, another person must pay for that thing without getting it”.
“When will the food rioting start?”
It has already started - when food arrives at a store, unruly lines are blocks long and inside customers grab what they can, even it’s something a shopper already has in her/his hands. Police have to try to keep order.

They deserve to stand in long line to get disposable diapers. Cloth diapers would save them tons of time and money.
They keep reporting on Caracas but what about the rural agricultural areas?
It's amazing how powerful that "right wing" is; they can even make food disappear from the store shelves. I guess Maduro will have to start throwing his opponents in jail. That, I'm sure, will bring back the food.
More people in jail will add to the shortage. Jailed people get more to eat.
My grocery in the Hill Country is one missed delivery truck away from “customers grabbing what they can, even it’s something a shopper already has in her/his hands” due to poor management. You can’t go to the store without someone asking if you’d share x, y, z from your cart because the shelf is empty.
I still do unit pricing and ponder over each item but have been noticing that others have given up that practice. It is most noticeable in the meat section. The meat section is very small and they only have about 3 packages of each cut so it’s grab it or do without. I’ve told y’all about the hush, hush drug deal, uh, fish deal I had to make in the back and the cashier and bagger were shocked that fish came through their check out. Anyway, last shopping trip there wasn’t one cut of beef, besides ground, that was under $10/lb. Ridiculous! But they’re the only game in town. Sad, folks around here won’t have to change their shopping habits when Venezuela comes to the US.

Now I'm hungry for breaded Chicken. I'll have some
in honor of Venezuelan voters.
I’m wondering if mail order would be available and better than that? Saw an ad for an introductory package from Omaha Steaks. I guess they ship it packed in dry ice.
We are eating more and more beans. Better for our lipid levels anyway.
Now that reminds me, I need to use some of the chicken I canned last February. A nice pot of chicken noodle soup sounds good. Might even make a nice home made loaf of bread to go with.
And there’s a sale on for chicken breasts at the store this week. Good time to stock up the freezer or maybe can some more. Gotta keep rotating the supplies.
As predicted.
That’s a great deal. I picked up several Turkeys for 75 cents per pound. Roasted them part way and then canned them. Still have one left in the freezer.
I’ve been thinking about going back to buying a quarter of beef locally. We kinda quit after the kids grew up and moved out, because it’s hard to use it up these days.
