Wow...what a fucking mess.....

Why don't they just legislate in a "liveable wage" and "Gender Neutral pay".....

Farm fresh eggs cost $6 here.

This is why economic distortion is such a problem. Maybe people will start to realize that, at last...

Well perhaps if they did t put all their eggs in one basket it wouldn’t be such a bad thing?

There it is. The final stage of collapse. Water wars, and military takeover.

If there's one group that has benefited from Venezuela's economic collapse, it's the country's military, which has been handed control over much of the country's remaining industry as the collapse has intensified. Venezuela's army, about 160,000 strong, controls the mineral-rich Arco Minero del Orinoco, and some of its top officers are also serving as executives of Venezuela's state-run oil company.

Venezuela’s military has come to oversee the desperate and lucrative water trade as reservoirs empty, broken pipes flood neighborhoods and overwhelmed personnel walk out. Seven major access points in the capital of 5.5 million people are now run by soldiers or police, who also took total control of all public and private water trucks. Unofficially, soldiers direct where drivers deliver — and make them give away the goods at favored addresses.

Cuppa coffee still just 29 cents down there.

Bloomberg recently pointed out another shocking development: The cost of a single cup of coffee in Caracas has eclipsed one million bolivars (equal to about 29 US cents) That's about one-third of the average monthly wage in the country, which has slipped to roughly $1 thanks to the government's frantic money printing.

It was long, interesting and IMO, more dramatic than your average trial.
Not quite if the glove don't fit you must aquit, but not ordinary either.

I'll chip in. SF should enjoy the benefits of the Venezuelan socialist utopia.
Maybe he could give them tips on how to better make it "real" socialism.
