I've been prepping for many years. I have things in order. I was simply responding to having one's things confiscated which can't be done on things not yet harvested.

10,000 others out here? Not hardly. Rural and remote.

Think so too. Venezuela is a mess and with Bernie Sanders in the WH it’ll come here as well.

there is a shortage of 90% on staple goods such as flour, coffee, sugar, and meat, and 80% shortage in medicines.

government seizes control of the economy & property and becomes a disinterested monopoly supplier + universal price and wage controls + central planning and bureaucratic management = assault on causality

assault on causality = economic chaos in distribution and production + anarchy of production

chaos and anarchy = shortages

“10,000 others out here? Not hardly. Rural and remote.”

Okay, 25,000 others. Rural and remote? Easy pickings.

“You know not of which you speak about my situation.”

Oh, I do. Been there, done that.

But you enjoy yourself trying to guard a 10 acre perimeter, or whatever size it is. Also enjoy picking off potato bugs all day and every day from your half-acre garden.

Not one thing you just posted applies to me.

Again... You know not of which you speak about my situation.

Do I need to put in Bold for you to understand?

With $4.2B she could use actual money.

Gee, I guess soil and weather are no good in Venezuela any more.

Maybe people walked on the ground too much. Pollution like that can never be repaired. Too many people maybe. Too many feet.

Venezuela has greater oil reserves than Saudi Arabia.

What that country needs is Socialist slogans, hundreds of them. Then they will be as successful as North Korea. Be resolute Comrades! Redouble your efforts! Forward! More Socialism, that’s the ticket!

(do I really need to add a sarcasm tag?)
