Heh, I will not throw the bones with you on that. I usually have to explain to anyone under 40 where it actually is.

Venezuela orders stores to get into the Christmas spirit

https://www.yahoo.com/news/venezuela...064847254.html

"Caracas (AFP) - Ever since Venezuelan government agents put up a giant "Sale" sign in his storefront, crowds have been lining up outside Juan Vieira's shoe shop.

But he's having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit.

"What good is it to sell shoes if I'm giving away my product?"...."

Then

"...Many customers are thrilled with the sales, however.

"This is the best thing the government could have done this year because you have to give up eating just to buy yourself a shirt," said Yaroski Mendoza, a 19-year-old cook waiting in line to buy a shirt, her baby in her arms...."

So the government is forcing the stores to sell their products below cost and the people are lining up to get the product. And they will not have a clue next year as to where all the stores have gone.

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!)

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

CIUDAD BOLIVAR, Venezuela – Hundreds of people in Venezuela's Ciudad Bolivar are massing outside the few supermarkets that survived massive looting over the weekend, waiting for them to open.

Dozens of businesses were destroyed or ransacked. Streets are full of trash, rubble and burned motorcycles from the protests and looting that wracked the riverside city in Venezuela's interior.

Rest of the story.

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.

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.
