This should be a Dinesh D’Souza movie.

Congress needs to immediately place a trade embargo on Venezuela for the exact same reason that there’s a trade embargo on Cuba. They stole American property and that should be intolerable.

Why is there no embargo against Saudi Arabia?

[M Kehoe]

I have a solution to “the” problem.

Brazil should invade Venezuela.

Many regional issues could be solved.

Just sayin

When CEOs make deals with the devil to improve their profits it always seems the devil can’t and never loses .

Everybody that makes a deal with the Devil loses. The Devil wins everytime.

The plant now has no industrial value. It may be used for housing the homeless, but not to produce anything.

No, somebody decided they needed a new set of wheels.

[gogeo]

They didn’t go to Venezuela to save money. They went to produce products for central and south America many years ago. They don’t even have the same model lineup.

[gogeo]

Speaking of which... What’s the wisdom in investing in China and Russia?

[gogeo]

I think someone wanted new wheels.

[maxtheripper]

This plant has been in operation in Venezuela since 1948 so that does not appear to be the case.

[NonValueAdded]

I would not equate Gubermint Motors with Rearden Steel but rather Associated Steel. Make that Steal.

[Veto!]

Be fun to see what kind of ragtag buggies the Venezuelans come up with. If they stole the plant, does that mean they own the designs?

[ConservaTeen]

Would I want a car made by ANY GOVERNMENT? No, the workers would screw a screw halfway in and say, ‘Close enough for government work’ and 1 mile after you drive it off the lot, the screw (holding a wheel) falls off and the car crashes...

Venezuela — AND AMERICA — are suffering under the “myth” of UNBACKED PAPER FIAT CURRENCY and will continue to suffer until this very profitable — for a SELECT FEW – SCAM is halted!

Also, Venezuela has been ‘siezing’ businesses for a few years. It’s hardly news anymore, unfortunately.

[SaveFerris]

There ya go; that’s what I was thinking. We will now confiscate the property and the inventories, whether gasoline or whatever.

Two can play at this game. Enjoy, Maduro.

[SaveFerris]

[Unexpectedly? The bigger question is what the hell did you have a plant in this crap hole country for in the first place?]

Well, we couldn’t have the U.S. Government Motors employing Americans ya know......

And another Obama plan comes to fruition....

[SaveFerris]

They’ll get 96 cars that were almost completed! Sweet rides!

(just guessing and just kidding)

[Taxman]

As another FReeper noted, this is a teachable moment!

[Still Thinking]

Probably not a teachable moment. Anyone smart enough to grasp the lesson is probably already not inclined towards communism.
