Venezuela has problems, there's no doubt. 100% self-inflicted.
But there are an awful lot of well-fed looking, "starving" people in those pictures. Reminded me of the media hysteria following Katrina, with 300lb welfare cases chanting "Help Us! Help Us!" into the news cameras .....because they missed lunch.
With this article, I think that it's more instructional to watch what the opportunists do - and how the media reacts to them - when society goes to hell in a handbasket.
Potentially coming soon, to a theater near you.
Too much of this article is lies and nothing but garden fertilizer. The pictures we've seen for a year of them standing in long grocery lines show the same chunky people. They claim they can't afford food but I see they can afford to get their nails done. I see they can afford to buy bread instead of making it at home.
The reporter should be shot for not taking setting that dog free and feeding it. Yeah, I'm positive the reporter and cameraman had food and water on them to feed it.
How much did the reporter pay all those people to dig through the same trash pile?
The farmer has nothing in his fridge but he's got it plugged in and has a satellite dish on the roof and what looks like a huge speaker system in the other room. Makes no sense unless it's false reporting. His family looks healthy enough. I seen less healthy kids right here in the US. You can't tell me the family isn't eating the street food the wife sells. She could stand to lose about 35 lbs so that starvation diet she's on isn't working. He admits to growing corn, beans and yams so, being a farmer, he's bound to have many other crops and enough kids to pull weeds and keep a garden watered and bug free. If they have room on their property for flowers and bare dirt, they aren't starving. Stupid reporter doesn't know how to spell corn FLOUR, not to mention that what's in the pot is masa harina dough for making tortillas.
That picture of an overweight woman in a bikini likely isn't the same as the thin woman. The bikini woman has pale skin while the thin woman has very dark skin. But, awwwww, poor widdle thing's socialist dream is falling apart.
