Venezuela’s capital city is once again rationing gasoline after output at state-owned refineries slumped, forcing motorists to endure day-long queues to top off tanks.

No URL for the story but caught the gist here.
So they've only got 1/3 of their plants running and, even cranking, only getting about half of what they need. Sounds right. Cracked storage tanks? AOC will be by with an infrastructure bill to fix that in a jiffy for ya.

That could never happen here in the Democratic Peoples Republic of North America.

I was browsing the headlines and came across this piece, which reminded me of this topic. Reading back through this thread there seems to be a large number of similarities to what was going on the Venezuela in 2021 and what is currently going on in the US i.e. anti-white rhetoric, inflation, rationing, using the power off the government to trample free speech and foe's.

True in many, many ways, the machinery has been there for quite sometime, the machinery is increasingly rearing its ugly head, but unless you consider Obama, Orange Hitler or PedoJoe as Chavezesque the national level totalitarian figure head (I envision) like a Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Idi Amin or Pol Pot type hasn't yet emerged.

Plenty of up to the minute information being posted on X (twitter) concerning the current situation in Venezuela.
