As for March, there was an increase in yearly prices due to inflation — a 582.9 percent increase for food,

At least they don’t have any evil capitalism going on.

It would seem the people there could only get so pissed before they rebel. Screw the army. They must be hungry too.

“Bernie said the bread lines in Venezuela are a good thing because it proves it has reached equality, whereas where there are no bread lines, the rich eat and the poor starve.”

Wow! I had to do a search to see if he really said bread lines are a good thing. Just wow. I wish he and ALL his supporters would move to Venezuela or some similar place and quit trying to make the United States in a communist hell hole. Heck, we ought to even pay their travel expenses to get there.

Bernie’s blue light specials!

Can we send Bernie and Hillary and the Obamunists there?

If you’re not prepping at this point, you haven’t been paying attention.

Not you, but FReepers in general.

Look for sales. Buy stuff you know you’ll use, in bulk - dry goods and OTC meds that store.

Brings to mind Baltimore.

This is the future.

Right -- our future. My friend made the same prediction.

[Bullish]

Yup... What you said.

I don’t suppose Crazy Bernie is ever asked to explain what happened to Socialism in Venezuela

I know what he would say (in the odd circumstance that he was ever asked): that the socialist government was not led by the right people.

Its what they always say.

This all could have been prevented, if only Yugo Chavez had lived.

Appears to be heading the way of Angola

Just spent some time on Venezuelan twitter feeds. The Chavistas are saying things like the food businessmen have their official warehouses empty, but have others in plain sight that are full. They are against the revolution. It’s capitalism’s fault.

I remember when Chile had a communist president, the people couldn’t find bread for their families. The government insisted that it was a conspiracy by the right with all the bread makers to halt production. The faithful simply cannot believe that people cannot produce a product at a loss and continue to produce. It’s all a conspiracy to blackmail the socialist revolution. /Bern

Oops, I wasn’t in Chile in 1973. I remember people telling me about it when I moved there in the early ‘90’s. Just in case my cred is investigated.

Kartographer was doing a bang-up job with his prepper threads. Wish he’d start em up again.
I learned how to make a little stove from a soda can and some Heet.
And that shy boots mylife. Where’d he go with his excellent gun threads?

Oh, don’t forget body armor. I know it’s expensive, but you can make your own with plate from a home improvement store.
