I thought they has a lot of oil. They could drink that.
Bernie’s utopia. Wants to bring it here.
Yes...but it’s all free.
Socialism will sustain them through every hardship on the road to social justice and free everything for everybody, except the evil rich ...
> widespread shortages of staple products, medicine, and food.
We’ve seen this before.
1. Gain power by promising free stuff (and maybe add a little violence)
2. Redistribution - underpay the productive and overpay the unproductive
3. Production falls, prices rise
4. Implement price controls to fight inflation
5. Shortages become more serious
6. Government enters cycle of more and more dictatorial control and violence, diverting remaining resources to hardcore supporters
7. Revolution
8. Repeat - because people believe you can get something for nothing.
They’ll all be heading up here now.
They’ve hated us since long before their shelves went bare. Screwem.
These stories are very interesting, I still see the lefties saying this could never happen here.
Economic denial still means you go hungry
Thank you for posting this. It is a good reminder what the US will resemble if our economy tanks. It is a clarion call to me to further my preparations for social unrest.
I once heard about firearms - it’s better to have them, and not need them, than need them and not have them.
So, I’ll re-think my bug out bag, food supply, safety plan, and many other things before I go to sleep. I need to be prepared in case they are needed.

That’s unexpected. Who would have guessed that rewarding parasites and punishing producers would have this effect?
If Obama were not so lazy, he would have put an end to the gap between rich and poor, bringing us all to the level of equality now celebrated in Venezuela. There’s still hope for socialism here though. Hillary or Bernie could finish the job!
Feel the Bern Venezuela. they can thank the generation before them that cashed in liberty and prosperity for future generations to pay the bill. Utopia alawys cones to this point long after the bastards who put it in place have left the stage
But then I forget that his supporters probably don't even know where Venezuela is, let alone know how to spell it. They just hear "free" and that gets 'em hook, line and sinker.
I would send this to my liberal brother but he would never believe this...he’d say it’s all lies. He lives in another dimension, Obama good, Tea Party bad. Hillary and Bernie are awesome, Trump, Cruz or anyone who mentions capitalism bad....
There are many options for food storage, and this is just one of several that I like. I am not a member, but the Mormon (LDS) Church advises its members to store food for emergencies and supports that advice with practical items at a good price. For milk (20 year shelf life), beans (30 years), flour (10 years), oats/wheat/potatoes/rice/macaroni/sugar (30 years), and now apples (30 years), carrots (25 years), and onions (30 years), I like what they have. They do not offer anything in stored meat, but there are other options for that category.
When things like this happen in Venezuela, I am reminded to check on whether I am satisfied with my preparations in terms of food - and the ability to defend that food and my family.
Serves them right. When their bellies get bloated and their children start dying off in droves, maybe the right thing will happen and the people will string up the leftists on the lamposts.
Look at those happy faces.
As I like to say, “It’s always a party when you’re eating (or in this case planning to) the seed corn.”
If Bernie implements it here, it will take six or seven decades to get to this point IMHO. There is A LOT more here for them to loot.
Look at the precious little snowflakes!
I’m sure Sean Penn will come help out.
Every American professor should be made to take a one year sabbatical in Venezuela.
