Soon, there will be no replacements for either inventory.

So after the seized stores are looted, then what? It’s not like they’re going to be restocked.

They have very high inflation, but the salaries have not increased while prices double and triple.

President Maduro ordered that all of the products of an appliance distributor called Daka be sold at “just” prices because of some “irregularities” found in the pricing and thus promoted anarchy in both Daka, as well as Pablo Electronics, a store that was mentioned by the Venezuelan President.

Starting last night, people gathered around the stores of these two companies to participate in the “piñata” creating fights, some looting and even shots were fired as the free for all began. While in some stores order was maintained by the police and the National Guard, in others, people left without paying.

And it was a free for all in some cases, as customers broke windows, took stuff without paying and authorities and “pueblo”, both opposition and chavistas, participated in this obscene act, which shows how low the country has come. One has to wonder whether Maduro was losing grip of the situation with his actions, which will certainly lead to shortages for appliances in short order.

When Charleton was dying, I was sent by a friend to his home off of Mulholland dr. to try and deliver some natural herbal formulas to help him. My friend was hoping I could in past the security gate and get the goods to him and that they would use them. I acted like it was a routine delivery from the doctor who makes the supplements, and the woman let me right in and she received the bottles. I don’t think they ended up using them, but it was a good try for some alternatives!
Some were amazed that I got onto his property so easily...but I was a special delivery courier for 26 years, so it wasn’t so tough.

"toilet paper"

Remember the Elian Gonzalez fiasco? One of the "rewards" for the Gonzalez family was extra soap and shampoo. Do you know any of your friends who worries about not having soap and shampoo? But the lib media seized on this particular aspect to assure their readers of the wonders of Cuban life. So much for worker's paradises.

A slow-motion riot. No need to hurry, because the police and army are in on it too.

Drunks without weapons, are easier to control.

Yes. And they don't give a crap about what's happening around them. Plus they die a lot earlier, relieving the health care system of a burden. cf, Russia.

Thanks for the links: if only the main stream media would cover it. We know that Hugo Chavez and Barack Hussein Obama were soul-mates. ZERO is trying to turn us into the same wasteland. Everywhere will look like Caracas—or Detroit if we don’t stop him.

“...and authorities and “pueblo”, both opposition and chavistas, participated in this obscene act...”

That guy Selco, from Yugoslavia that writes a survival blog was asked “when did you realize things had finally broken down?”

He had a long answer. Talked about the food shortages, the lack of wood for heating the homes. People dieing from no medical care. People getting shot by snipers as they crossed the street on rumors of bread at the bakery. But he said those things happened, and was just part of life, but he still had hope that things would turn around.

Paraphrasing from memory, one day a lady was shot in the street. The police and army came to try to get to her. But the snipers kept them pinned back. They waited for hours. The police broke the windows of a nearby shop to gain better advantage. But the snipers still had them pinned down. After another hour the police left their position in the store, with armloads of stuff. The army guys then went into the store and left with armloads of stuff. The lady was left dieing on the street.

That was when Selco realized that things had finally broken down.

Sounds like things are going according to plan.

Onward to the toilet paper shortage!
