Their insane leader; Maduro accused bakers of waging a "bread war against the Venezuelan people.
Maduro claims that bakers are hoarding flour and using it to make more profitable brownies and cookies rather than bread. All this, Maduro contends, is part of a broader effort by private business owners to sabotage the economy and bring down his government.

. . .the Maduro government is importing only about 25 percent of the wheat that the country needs,

. . .due to price controls, bread must be sold at a loss — for about 20 U.S. cents per loaf.


The absolute insanity of a Communist govt. is incomprehensible. I hope they don't starve millions of people with their deranged incompetence like Russia/China.

One of the maintenance guys at my job is from Venezuela, moved over here two years ago.

When I asked him what's going on with his country he said 'I gone. They blow it up for all I care. I American now'

He wasn't joking either.

Sounds like a true patriot.

Just like with Cuba, we should take refugees from oppressive commie hell holes.
