If they hadn’t been freed from job-lock by their government, the wouldn’t have been able to make the choice to riot.

I’ve been reading about the milk shortage there for at least 2 years.

The communists transformed Venezuela into a country where you have to fight over milk and toilet paper.

When you beg a guy to transform your country, sometimes you get what you asked for good and hard.

I remember receiving an email from a friend who had just taken a consulting job in Caracas before Chavez took over. She emailed me and said they were pulling people out of houses and shooting them on the street outside where she was. Fortunately she had some coworkers who sheltered her. Americans were apparently big targets of the communists.

Socialism of anything creates an nearly-instantaneous shortage of that thing.

(U. S. Healthcare, as it progresses down the shining collectivist path? The waits for rationed care will be killers (perhaps literally so).

Communists are people who can’t abide living in a world where you don’t need them. So they design an infantile world where you have to have their permission to go to the john.
