I had an ex-neighbor who did that to survive years ago. Could barely pay rent, and I didn;t judge him when I sorta caught him before dawn doing it. Now he’s one of the cast in a soap opera on a certain alphabet. It was unusual because he’s a good looking dude and if he weren’t he wouldn;t be on that show. I even joked he should be a gigolo to old ladies but he didn’t go that route.

I wonder how long it will be before cannibalism takes hold there?

Starving actors, at least he wasn’t robbing parking meters like Johnny Depp did.

Why are the shops tossing out food if their is a food shortage? Is their price too high? (Gov’t forced pricing?)

I was thinking about Venezuela earlier, Mayb President Trump could Appoint Bernie Sanders as Economic Ambassador to Venezuela so he can show them the proper way to implement Socialism.

The Difference between Socialism and Communism is the difference between Seduction and Rape.
In the End you still got SCREWED!

I heard things are so bad they have resorted to eating muffin stumps.

Horrific. 1/2 our population is dumb enough to believe the lies a good portion of theirs did.

America’s future - thanks to Obama and continued, if allowed, under Hillary Clinton.

If food is scarce, it will be slim-pickings in the dumpsters as well.

The corrupt send bad stuff to the shops to distribute, and they throw out what even the desperate paying customers won’t eat.
Socialism says you have to take what they give you as well as the prices they set. For example, FDR’s era saw a case go to the Supreme Court where the federal rules said you had to accept all chickens in a lot - including the sick birds.

You can bet your last bolivar that the political class and their guard dogs are eating well.

It was a good thing I was nice to him and it paid off because when I head to that certain network, he buys me lunch and..he introduces me to pretty ladies. ;)

IMO, the potential in Venezuela is unlimited. It is a country of many many resources, plus open land for ranches and farms and isn’t that populated.
I think they really could have a lot of potential if they had someone who knew how to built big and get things done.

I’d like to see Trump as President of Venezuela, I think he could really turn things around there, but here in America, not so much.

IMO, Trump needs to go back to the Reagan amnesty law passed that approved a wall that has never been funded.

Trump needs to do as Reagan and bypass Congress and go straight to the American people and they will agree whole heartedly. Congress will have no way to dance around it.

Plus, he needs to make a forceful statement that, “WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS.” and now we will follow the laws we have on immigration.

We will also follow our gun laws where a crime committed with a gun is 5 years plus.

Sorry folks, I’m not really enthusiastic about voting for Trump and my hope for these few things but I do know if the beast is elected they will never happen

Where are these people getting the food that they are throwing out? There must come a time when nobody has anything to throw out.

My wife and were thinking about giving our Baylor shirts and caps away. She said “That would be like giving away muffin stumps.”

Hey, look at upside! At least “Democratic Socialist” Venezuela doesn’t have any more stray or shelter animals.
