PA Engineer : from the article from your #23 Post :
" The Venezuelan Chamber of Food (Cavidea) said many businesses only have 15 days worth of inventory.
Production has been effected as a result of a shortage of raw materials,
as well as exhausted national and international supply resources."
Earlier this week I saw that the Baltic Dry Index (International Shipping of Goods) was at its lowest level, ever.
I had read earlier this week about the 8 Venezuelan soldiers arrested for stealing a goat, because they were hungary.
I didn't see the correlation between inflation and the soldiers theft at that time, and wondered how, and why, it made media news .
Watching the same. The US is also masking the drop in both rail and long haul truck traffic. Those are down 11%.
I am focusing now on negative interest rates as a trigger here.
The problem is global including China. Venezuela is a test tube of failed Keynesian and Socialist economics.
I think we are headed into a perfect storm of a failed fiat global currency, failed central planning, climate change (Not what people think. Check out this weekends weather. Mini Ice Age), agricultural failures, legitimacy collapse of central governments, and commodity deflation.
I think time is running out to prepare.
