This is expected. Government = shortage.
If the Federal government were to seize the Sahara Desert, within five years there would be a shortage of sand.
Legalized theft... So tell me Venezuela, what becomes of the future once you have ‘eaten all of your seed corn’ and run out of “Other Peoples Money”?
If you could remember history you would know... So when will your ‘Killing Fields’ or your ‘Cultural Revolution’ come to pass?
Hmmmmm?
In Cuba during Castro’s waning rule, the hot item that the government was rice cookers. People stood in long lines to get one of these scarce items.
Just wait till we are standing in line for a doctor’s visit. Ain’t Communism wonderful?
MAS SOCIALISMO
You can bet that this generation of investors won’t make the same mistake in this country twice. I hope those people take really good care of the stuff that they pilfered, because regardless of any changes in the government there, they are going to be looking at those goodies for the next 40 years.
Basically, this is a snapshot of the end-stage of socialism.
Stoves, toothpaste, gas, meat, healthcare, whatever they want.
All totalitarians do the same thing and they all leave the alcohol mostly alone.
Drunks without weapons, are easier to control.
From my cold dead hands...

The 57 United States Of Obama, 2016
“As soon as Valve-O’litus Joneses received a text message informing her that President For Life, Barackus Obamacus had seized control of all nationwide chains of appliance stores Friday, she rushed to the nearest outlet in the hopes of finding what’s become one of the scarcest items of all these days in The 57 United States Of Obama: a bargain.
A 24-year-old Gender Issues 1st grade school teacher employed by the Federal Government, Jonsees has watched as the price of the new one burner, solar powered kitchen stove she needs has doubled in recent weeks to 40,000 ObamaBucks even as her monthly salary of 2,500 ObamaBucks has remained the same.
“I’ve got to take advantage of this opportunity today because tomorrow the prices keep going up,” Joneses said while huddled among her homeless friends on the broken concrete sidewalk outside the newly renamed “Michelle Obama - Healthy Appliances” store in the southern District of Columbia neighborhood of Obamaville Estates.
Occupy Appliance Stores! A new movement, coming soon to our shores.
That greedy appliance store owner reminds me of the heartless American health-insurance companies who are sabotaging Obamacare by putting their lust for profits above morality and the common good.
If anyone is curious what’s going to happen in the United States when the dollar finally collapses, (next month? next year?) this is it exactly.
Communism redux. What could go wrong?
People think that GULAGS only exist in Siberia. We in the US are being herded into virtual gulags now as we speak: control and rationing of our air, water, energy, health care, automobiles, food, thought, speech, safety, personal property, communications, and our very right to be alive. Euthanasia, death panels, abortion on demand, shift the right to life from the individual to the state. The state will choose which children are viable, both in the womb and post-birth. The old and infirm will be denied food, water, or medicine and die in pain and suffering. Soon, our very existence will be deemed a privilege conferred by to you from the STATE. Technology is enabling the creation the VIRTUAL GULAGS: RINOS and others who refuse to see the truth will be walked to the camps with the rest of us.
Unless we choose freedom. Now.
At least they have plenty of toilet paper....O’ Wait....
“Leaving nothing on the shelves-nothing in the warehouses’.....
Soon, there will be no replacements for either inventory.
Another idiot in charge.....
So after the seized stores are looted, then what? It’s not like they’re going to be restocked.
and when that stock runs out, then what?
Yeh and then when the shleves are empty the company has no where withall to re stock so no more appliances.
A slow-motion riot. No need to hurry, because the police and army are in on it too.
