"Facing a bread shortage that is spawning massive lines and souring the national mood, the Venezuelan government is responding this week by detaining bakers and seizing establishments.
In a press release, the National Superintendent for the Defense of Socioeconomic Rights said it had charged four people and temporarily seized two bakeries as the socialist administration accused bakers of being part of a broad “economic war” aimed at destabilizing the country."
Bakers have been literally arrested this week because they baked sweet rolls and croissants, and those baked goods are NOT on the list of what bakers are allowed to bake according to Venezuelan government dictates.
That's what socialism does. It kills economic choices and freedom. SOCIALISM IS THE DIRECT OPPOSITE OF FREE MARKET ECONOMICS.
