It’s old news that Venezuela is having a bit of economic difficulty these days. Well, everyone who’s not part of the Venezuelan Communist leadership<\/del> ruling elite is having economic difficulties; the Communist leadership<\/del> ruling elite is doing OK.<\/p>\n

For most Venezuelans, though, even TP can be difficult to find; ditto many foodstuffs. The same is reportedly true of many if not most common household items.<\/p>\n

Predictably, this has led to a substantial increase in crime. But conditions in Venezuela have now become truly grave. <\/p>\n

Literally. In Venezuela today, even grave markers are being targeted by thieves.<\/p>\n

He also could tell us why Socialism will soon fix all of Venezuela’s economic and social ills. <\/p>\n

Well, he could if Jonn hadn’t gotten fed up with him and dropped the ban-hammer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
