I noted that the ghost of Hugo Chavez continues to spook Venezuela.
Behold the epic nature of this fail:
Although Venezuela claims the world's biggest proven oil reserves, the nation of 30 million is suffering shortages of everything from electricity to auto parts to medical equipment. ...
Maduro has responded by appearing daily on TV to announce the confiscation of businesses he accuses of helping wage an "economic war" on Venezuela. Congress is expected to approve a bill as early as this week granting him special decree powers, which would give him authority to expand the crackdown.
Abundant oil and still they can't make Hugo's idiotic economic theories work. (Thank goodness we would never throw sectors of our economy into chaos with impossible decrees.)
The only thing lacking to complete the fail is a web site where Venezuelans can shop online for cut-rate goods appropriated from surviving businesses.
Of course, you'd need electricity for that ...
Eventually, Maduro is going to run out of businesses to loot.
Say, just what distant and weak colonial oppressor is holding "Venezuela's" sacred territory, anyway?
