You add the craziness of people storming the zoo to find food:

A general mess:

People can only find 2 out of every 10 times they are looking for at the store:

Recently Maduro said he will fix it by bringing in the Spanish socialist Jesus...

McDonalds won't even sell Big Macs there because they can't find bread suppliers...

And just to bring it back to the current topics on hand, yes...one of Hillary's "key" (really dumb) advisors named Joseph Stiglitz was a really big fan of Venezuela just a few short years ago...
Seriously though...its crazy how there is a large, close country that is turning into a completely failed state with an estimated 700% inflation rate and it isn't getting talked about more in the news. And its only going to get worse.

It's never worked and never will. Stupid idealists just keep saying the right people haven't tried it yet, meaning us.
I wish they'd get around to this cowboys and socialist shit i'm not getting any younger! -
It seems to be working okay in China. Maybe it works better in countries that weren't brutalized as much by the Catholic church and subverted by our CIA?

You are a giant pussy is you think Venezuela has anything to do with America.
And zero hedge is full of shit.

Government can't run shit well. No surprise.
On the flip side, the fastest growing city in India has no functional government.

And yeah, I get it...they have no sewage! There's traffic problems! Sure, every city has problems...especially in India. And honestly, they do get the sewage out via transportation, and could form a sewage system once it's profitably.
But how can you argue with the fact that so many people in India are eager to move there? It's obviously less of a shithole than all the cities that have a functional government in that country.
It's the same shit with Somalia...Somalia is a shithole, sure...but it's become LESS of a shithole since the government was all but dismantled. That's what people fail to look at...

Move to India then. Seriously. It's not just that it's a shithole. You can't drink running water, can't even brush your teeth with it. There is broken down shit everywhere. People just throw garbage on the street. I could go on for days on how shitty that place is.Fenderbender123 said:Government can't run shit well. No surprise.

Anyone who wants the capitalist wet dream, move there. America is great because it's a mix of capitalism and government regulation. Every time the ball swings too far one way or the other, the country gets fucked up. -

Here's the thing, Hyundai. Yes, that city is a bigger shithole than anywhere in America. But a country's type of government is not the biggest determinant of standard of living. Culture, work ethic, habits, problem-solving, ability to obtain resources, etc...those are the things that make up our quality of life.
Just like how that city in India is considered a better place to live than other places in India, America would be a much better place too with a government that has a smaller or non-existent role.

You can't drink the water in a lot of places, even in the US, like Flint.2001400ex said:

If they aren't selling cars, maybe they're too expensive and they should lower the price of the car or raise wages enough so the cars are more affordable

Shut the fuck up. America is great right now. Seriously, what's so intrusive about the government right now that you can't live your life as you want? -

Can you read? I said, how is the government so intrusive you can't live your life as you want. To which, nothing you discussed affects you and half the shit wouldn't change with a limited government.Sledog said:
