They’re rapidly approaching the stage of scapegoating, then comes the persecution and the regional war. As much as I dislike the regime there, the best thing that can happen short term is for the price of oil to rise enough that they’re no longer desperate. Maybe the people will have had enough of a scare thrown into them that they’ll throw out that government and put in something more sustainable.

That’s the trouble with Socialism’s heaven on earth - “in heaven there is no beer...”

I used to make my own. That is until all my “buddies” found out and would invite themsleves over.
GD Freeloaders, wouldnt even kick in for the fixins. Got so I couldnt keep up. That ended that little experiment. I even tried to brew dark beer to keep them off since most of them liked only lager. They even got a taste for dark.

Tomorrow is May Day, a National Holiday in Venezuela and a Sunday. I predict that if there is a beer revolution there, tomorrow is the day it will happen. Too many things are now coming to a head... Power blackouts, little food, no toilet paper, no beer, no beer, and, no beer. Tomorrow could be Beer (lack of) Revolution Day in Venezuela.

No Beer ? ? ! !
Why bother to live?
Socialism stinks.
Imagine if Bernie gets his way and college is free - but there is no beer . . .
No one will attend college, no matter its’ price.

The greedy one percenters don't want for the people to have beer! The shortage has nothing to do with socialism! If we just increased taxes on the greedy rich, Venezuela would be swimming in beer!

They drink beer because the water is bad. No beer and they will have to start drinking water. This problem coupled with the lack of toilet paper is going to be a BIG problem.

Venezuela needed a Pinochet to put an end to the commie-Chavez catastrophe.
