Heard this earlier today but just read this on ZH. A total of 193 total cars, buses, and trucks were sold in July...in the entire country. A 99% drop from their peak.

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?
