Encarnacion Rivas, an 89-year-old Venezuelan retiree, had to traipse around a half dozen stores in Caracas on her search for toilet paper as dollar shortages in South America’s biggest oil producer reduce supplies of imported goods.
Commerce Minister Alejandro Fleming said monthly demand for toilet paper is about 125 million rolls and that the government will supply 50 million rolls to “saturate the market.”
“There’s no deficiency in production but rather an excessive demand which has generated nervous purchases in the population as a result of a media campaign,” Fleming said May 14, according to state news agency Agencia Venezolana de Noticias.
Well they can always resort to wipe their bottoms with the practically worthless Venezuelan currency.
"The government devalued the bolivar to 6.3 bolivars per dollar from 4.3 bolivars following a spending spree that helped former President Hugo Chavez, 58, to win a third six-year term before he died of cancer in March. The fiscal deficit tripled to 11 percent of gross domestic product as a result, according to Moody’s Investors Service."
This is shockingly similar to what has been happening in the U.S as well.
I posted a link about Hugo Chavez's death awhile back and a couple of people on this site came out in support of the troglodyte.... I wonder if they'll be responding to this?
Toilet paper just swishes the poop around. Maybe switch to Huggies and get some butlers?
