Venezuela: Grocery Stores Under Military Protection

[DrLeftover]

Shoppers thronged grocery stores across Caracas today as deepening shortages led the government to put Venezuela’s food distribution under military protection.

Long lines, some stretching for blocks, formed outside grocery stores in the South American country’s capital as citizens search for scarce basic items such as detergent and chicken.

“I’ve visited six stores already today looking for detergent -- I can’t find it anywhere,” said Lisbeth Elsa, a 27-year-old janitor, waiting in line outside a supermarket in eastern Caracas. “We’re wearing our dirty clothes again because we can’t find it. At this point I’ll buy whatever I can find.”

That sounds horrible. I wish I could send them some food and soap myself, if I could.

Wouldn't help...the socialistas' running things in Caracas would seize it upon entry....here's a suggestion for Venezuela: get rid of Maduro & his leftists thugs and then see what happens.

And to think our dear leader is trying to use the same ideas that brought Venezuela to the point where toilet paper is worth more then gold.
