First milk, butter, coffee and cornmeal ran short. Now Venezuela is running out of the most basic of necessities – toilet paper.
Snerk!
Blaming political opponents for the shortfall, as it does for other shortages, the government says it will import 50m rolls to boost supplies.
Oh. My.
Seriously?
Let's play a game of "what's more likely":
Eeeeeevil conservative and capitalists hate you sooooooo much that they spent thousands of man hours and millions of dollars to deprive you - yes, you - of toilet paper,
... OR ...
Your tenuous grasp of basic economic theory has produced an economy that sucks so badly that you can't even manage to produce a simple consumable product that everyone wants and will use... Every. Single. Day.
If I were a betting man, my money would be on option #2. As it is, I suspect that severe food shortages and rationing can't be far behind, as food is just slightly harder to produce, ship and store than rolls of thin paper.
