Venezuelan military tells customers not to take pictures of empty shelves in supermarkets
I’m sure Venezuelan bureaucrats work tirelessly to prevent people from having to queue for gov’t services in Venezuela.
“”We came, we normalized sales, we summoned the owners, we arrested them and they’re prisoners for having provoked the people,” he said.”
Must be nice to make laws on the spot. Obama is taking notes.
Pass the buck, pass the blame propaganda of the worst kind.
I wonder if anyone really believes that crap, but maybe some do.
Maduro is getting more desperate and his days may be numbered.
Obviously in Venezuela, store “owner” doesn’t mean “ownership” in the normal sense of the word.
Only in communism is closing a store down so no one can buy anything the solution for long lines of people hoping there will be something left to buy when they get to the store.
Arrest them.
The army was officially authorized a few days ago to use live ammunition against protestors if necessary.
At the rate things are going, the bullets may soon being flying.
The shortages of medical supplies are rapidly increasing and the chain of stores targeted by arrest of its executives yesterday happens to be a large chain of pharmacies like CVS or Walgreens in this country.
This pig should meet the same fate as all tyrants, such as Allende.
He was looking for an excuse to confiscate the stores.
Sounds like the craziness that took place in China in the 60’s and 70’s.
How long till they start shooting the Kulaks?
And the lines got instantly shorter?
This imbecile has got to go.
Had nothing to do with the fact that there was nothing for them to sell I'm sure. Gotta keep 'em on the payroll no matter what. What was it they used to say in the Soviet Union--"We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us".
Here in S Florida “SOS Venezuela” signs can be seen all over and on cars. There isnt a huge amount of Venezuelan Americans but they are starting to get more support...finally.
In the meantime Venezuelan guv big wigs are here in S Florida living the good life FACT...I see some daily and know where they live!!!!
Have to say that a few years ago a younger fellow from Argentina was scolding me about the CIA training terrorists and finally had his fill so he moved back to his hometown (This was in Maryland).
Heh, I do think that he just might be re-thinking his positions now as he gave up a nice life to go back to his lovely Socialist paradise...heh. Sure hope he has some toilet paper at least to wipe the ignorance off of his face!
Just like “Black Friday” after Thanksgiving, but year around. Coming soon to here.
I once saw a slogan. “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” I couldn’t see any number of beatings actually improving morale. I think the venezualan people are trapped in this same conundrum.
Reminds me of when China was executing executives for poor quality and poor production when they actually didn’t have the materials to build things for months.
I would laugh, but if some politician here did that to Walmart he’d likely win his next election in a landslide.
