For example in "modern" "left" propaganda they make hoarding by escualidos responsible for the economic, poltical and moral caos that existed at the end of the Allende Government in Chile. <br />As the escualidos are a permanent recurrence of the oligarchia santanderiana, they think they need to protect the will of "el pueblo" against the eternal tools of the escualidos (like hoarding), pues. <br /><br />And then of course it comes in handy before election to be able to share out other peoples goods to voters ;-)<br /><br />In the real worlds medium term, it will turn out as just another measure of this clueless Government with catastrophic consequences.Lemmy Cationnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-67970714647302706172010-05-23T21:25:12.259+02:002010-05-23T21:25:12.259+02:00Agree with Kepler.

I for one wouldn't blame you if you had to throw in the towel. <br /><br />This is a great description of what happens when the private free market is robbed. I'm always dumbfounded when my friends in Caracas tell me there is no harina pan, but I can buy it at a Latino store a few minutes away in suburban Georgia, USA, for a few bucks. <br /><br />Keep up the good fight. Hopefully someday this will be a bad dream you can wake up from. Daniel, do you see a solution? Some talk of strikes like Chile in the Allende days. Others want to hope that the Chavistas will someday change their minds. Some are ok with violence, others not. How will this end? No one's prediction has the weight that yours does. Any predictions on how this will all end? Or suggestions / scenarios that you'd support?KSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-17475770679527921172010-05-23T18:52:07.163+02:002010-05-23T18:52:07.163+02:00Daniel,

Que pasaria si el pueblo y las empresas y comercios dejan de pagar el agua, la electricidad, dejan de comprar articulos que pagan IVA. no pagan sus impuestos, y disminuyen la entrada de Bolivares al gobierno de Chavez. Al mismo tiempo se pasan todo el tiempo libre paseando y gastando gasolina.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324585743886881288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-8922777635405002922010-05-23T16:06:38.268+02:002010-05-23T16:06:38.268+02:00I don't know what makes me sadder: this unmiti...I don't know what makes me sadder: this unmitigated robbery or that it appears that in Venezuela this robbery has been met with a silence that implies acquiescence- our intrepid blogger excepted.<br /><br /><br />I wonder if this will lead to a takeover of Polar and/or Cargill. If it occurs, Thugo will have the takeover as close to election day as possible, to avoid unpleasant comparisons to pre-Thugo and post-Thugo operations of the company. Were Thugo to take one or both of them over in June, the ensuing collapse of their operations when managed by Chavista fools would have enough time to penetrate the awareness of many voters. At a rather gut level. Play on words intended.<br /><br />Instead of "if you don't work, you don't eat," we may be seeing "if you don't eat you don't vote."Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-38360920553556987492010-05-23T05:05:37.149+02:002010-05-23T05:05:37.149+02:00Considering most of the food is imported the gover...Considering most of the food is imported the government know when it comes in country. Why they would do this?Thinking beyond local stupidity, I would suspect that the governments importing efforts are not going well. You just don't go to Miami and buy a freighter full of corn or wheat. Also, to get good pricing you have to buy futures and options. Companies like Polar and Cargill are buying years into the future.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-35439700727073810342010-05-23T01:32:52.254+02:002010-05-23T01:32:52.254+02:00Dolar paralelo is back on the net I guess Chavez c...Dolar paralelo is back on the net I guess Chavez cant stop it.<br /><br /><br />http://dolarparaleloeconomiavenezuela.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-77660134534262025482010-05-22T15:11:10.586+02:002010-05-22T15:11:10.586+02:00Daniel

I think it is simple persecution of Polar and Cargill in an oppo state plus a mix of election year populism when you don't have any money. I think there is an element of preparation for severe shortages that occur as a result of currency controls too. All of this can work for Chavez very well until there is no food left to steal.<br /><br />And apples and pears? Don't you know only oligarchs eat apples and pears and salmon?Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513693238751837829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-26011723006177574522010-05-22T12:44:31.214+02:002010-05-22T12:44:31.214+02:00Good post.

Chavez is really Zimbabwizing the country as fast as possible.<br />But we saw it coming and the worse it gets with the economy, the more Chavez will use these methods, distribute then the stuff to his supporters in general and later on more and more to professional thugs.Keplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125538872924743270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-13224880469139179552010-05-22T08:10:07.929+02:002010-05-22T08:10:07.929+02:00Why doesn't Polar and Cargill just shut down? ...Why doesn't Polar and Cargill just shut down?
