Venezuela’s food crisis has gotten so bad that people are apparently killing pink flamingos and other protected animals in order to stave off hunger.
The collapse of the country’s economy has made it difficult to import basic goods such as food and medicine, created acute shortages and stirred deep-seated anger toward Maduro. A recent study conducted by three universities found that in 2015 87 percent of Venezuelans didn’t have enough money to buy sufficient food for their families.
The lack of food has even earned its own nickname: “The Maduro Diet.”

I hope their leaders eat flamingos and turn pink. Give them a taste of their own medicine...
(Nerd joke. Flamingos are pink because of their diet).

This is what happens when total anarchy arises from the ashes of a corrupt government.

No kidding. I remember when all these hollywood idiots were praising Chavez as the grand example of socialism.
But it is really bad there.

Lol, not an anarchist per se... I just don't have a lot of trust in government as it currently exists
