    Default What is you'rs is now EVERYONES/ More Venezuelan Business seizures. NEVER HAPPEN HERE


    http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/11/09/venezuela-seizes-stores/3486581/


    Thousands of Venezuelans lined up outside the country's equivalent of Best Buy, a chain of electronics stores known as Daka, hoping for a bargain after the socialist government forced the company to charge customers "fair" prices.

    "I want a Sony plasma television for the house," said Amanda Lisboa, 34, a business administrator, who had waited seven hours already outside one Caracas store. "It's going to be so cheap!"


    The president, who took over from Hugo Chávez in April 2013, appeared on state television Friday calling for the "occupation" of the chain, which employs some 500 staff.

    "This is for the good of the nation," Maduro said. "Leave nothing on the shelves, nothing in the warehouses … Let nothing remain in stock!"



    The president was accompanied on television by images of officials checking prices of 32-inch plasma televisions.

    Nah, that ain't coming here. Back to the football game, back to checking my 401K because Wall Street is BOOMING, back to buying that new car instead of 2 months food and water for the family.

    Daka's store managers, according to Maduro, have been arrested and are being held by the country's security services. Neither Daka nor the government responded to requests for comment.
    Presented with no comment.

    That's the problem with socialism. There's only so many stores (and taxes) they can take before they run out.

    It's always cheap when it is somebody else's money being spent.

    Perhaps his real motive is getting people the cardboard boxes to use as toilet paper, what with the shortage and all?
