"Comrade Captain, there are a hundred people waiting to buy rice, but there are only twenty sacks!" "Do not worry, Comrade Merchant, we will make sure none of them buy more than one sack! Anyone who does will be SHOT!"
Coming soon to an Obamanation near you.
Prepper Ping!
obama is so jealous. This is what he wants. A starving populace BEGGING for their lives from him.
I cannot even imagine what these poor saps are going through. But, you get what you vote for...and we, in the USA are going to change our downward course.
Right? RIGHT? I sure hope so!
Hillary! would watch us all starve. Gleefully!
And the few times this gets reported, no mention that it is socialism/communism causing it.
Leftist Socialist Communist policy got them in a situation where rationing can’t be avoided.
That’s where these political systems always wind up.
The U.S.S.R. couldn’t even provide toilet paper to it’s citizens.
Imagine a super-power level nation, and they can’t produce enough toilet paper.
None the less, lets try it here! /s
Good grief we have dumb folks on parade...
TMSuchman has taken the prepper ping list.

Thanks!
“Too much” = “more than you need”
What you “need” is up to the Commisar
They harrass peaceful, hard-woring citizens giving up sleep to maybe feed their families. Cowardice or just PR?
Okay, I'll admit there's probably a thriving black market (inevitable when there's shortages), but I'd be willing to bet it's happening at the BACK door, not the front.
I wonder what happened to his memo from the DNC to blame George W. Bush?
If he's been in jail for three months, it does not sound like a *new* crackdown.
The sad part is that the current misery of Venezuela is completely self-inflicted. It does not matter whether socialism is imposed by revolution, or peacefully through heavily propagandized voters--the end result is the same. Shortages, and the goods that do exist are shoddy. And cities become hellholes.
Sorry. I don’t care. Even though Venezuelans will probably end up hanging Maduro from a light post, they voted for him and Chavez and deserve what they are getting.
I only hope after all the fires are put out, they really remember what happened and don’t do it again.
This is economically the most brilliant thing Maduro has done.
It’s well known that price controls are created in order to answer complaints about high prices. It’s also well known that they inevitably create shortages, because they don’t allow the supply and demand curves to meet.
So, with this new edict, Maduro has suppressed demand. Now supply (which is near zero due to price controls) and demand (which is suppressed under government threat) can once again come into Marshallian equilibrium, again showing the economic wisdom of socialist policies.
/S for those who need it
Looking at Venezuela, Obama said, “Yes we did”.
Take it from there.
Huge Chavez is no longer consuming.
Obama fails to grasp the simple fact that if he keeps it up, he will be begging for his life from the people
