I'll trade 6 months of rice and beans to feed a family of four for clear title to a beach front estate on Isla de Margarita. ( the east side!):D

Whole post.

This real-estate formerly known as a country is a prime example, with its accelerator to the floor, that should be used in schools now as an illustration for progression of the socialist model.

No cake? Let 'em eat shoes. Oh, wait; none of those either.

Well, who saw that comin'?

Looting leaves stores in ruins in Venezuela's Ciudad Bolivar

Rest of the story.

Yeah, and we keep placing incompetent social experiments in the White House and that will also happen to the United States.

Things are lookin' up
 

The new decorator-motif toilet paper should be welcome.

Ahhhh, me oh my.
Everytime a socialist economic model doubles-down on a proven Rx for disaster someone at the Mises Institute gets their wings. So I guess it all balances out.

:munchin

Fixed your spelling for 'ya. :D

Venezuelans killing flamingos and anteaters to stave off hunger amid mounting food crisis
By Andrew O'Reilly Published February 10, 2017 FoxNews.com

Venezuela’s food crisis has gotten so bad that people are apparently killing pink flamingos and other protected animals in order to stave off hunger.

While flamingo hunting is both illegal and uncommon in the South American nation, investigators from Zulia University in the northwestern Venezuelan city of Maracaibo have noted at least 20 cases of bird carcasses being discovered with their breasts and torsos removed.

And flamingos aren’t the only unusual animal to become a victim of Venezuela’s worsening food crisis. Remains of everything from dogs and cats to donkeys and even giant anteaters have been found in garbage bags at city dumps around the country.

“Sometimes we only find the animal’s heads, guts and legs. We used to see this very little in the past, but this practice is now out of control and on the rise,” Robert Linares, a Maracaibo waste disposal worker, told the Miami Herald. Linares added he recently found on the street the remains of a dog that had been skinned and dismembered.

It's the new "bush meat" - which does not bode well.

Wonder how they'll spin the socialist experiment when the cannibalism begins. I'm sure somehow it will be countries who espouse capitalism fault that Venezuela failed so miserably.

A novel program of combined population control and food sustainability.

What's old is new again...

Soylent verde es la gente !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The socialist diet.

Study: Venezuelans lost 19 lbs. on average over past year due to lack of food
Published February 20, 2017 FoxNews.com

In a new sign that Venezuela’s financial crisis is morphing dangerously into a humanitarian one, a new nationwide survey shows that in the past year nearly 75 percent of the population lost an average of 19 pounds for lack of food.

The extreme poor said they dropped even more weight than that.

The 2016 Living Conditions Survey (Encovi, for its name in Spanish), conducted among 6,500 families, also found that as many as 32.5 percent eat only once or twice a day — the figure was 11.3 just a year ago.

In all, 82 percent of the nation's households live in poverty, the study found.

The lack of food has even earned a nickname: “The Maduro Diet.”

I suspect that the advice "find the socialists and kill them" would be discarded as being simplistic.
Maybe next year.
If there are any free citizens of the country alive.
