The problem is the same as before... there are very few stores that are open now, so even people with cash (which is at a premium) cannot get food. And the stores that ARE open don't carry the foods that are on the list of "agreed prices" foods. (There have been no agreed prices... only dictated prices from Chavismo. The people aren't stupid... send in Chavistas to check on prices and tomorrow, either the store doesn't open or what things the people want can't be purchased for any price... except from enchufados... those "connected" in the Chavista criminal organization
Letting no good (Chavista) deed go unpunished
