Widespread gas shortages have brought Venezuela to a standstill (Radio Fe y Alegria).
http://ift.tt/2EVRxri: Oil-Rich Venezuela Is Out Of Gasoline
After lining up for an entire day to get a plane ticket to visit her relatives in the western city of Mérida, Josefina García did not know if she and her octogenarian mother were going to reach their final destination on time for Christmas.
The airport is located 76 kilometers away from the city and when they tried to book a cab in advance to take them to the place where they were going to stay, the taxi company said they could not make bookings because there is a shortage of gas and management did not know if they were going to have enough fuel on the day of Josefina’s arrival.
Once they landed, the 61-year-old and her mother found a cab that had enough gas to take them to a certain part of the city where a cousin would pick them up. In the meantime, another cousin was lining up for gas. He was able to fill his sedan’s tank after waiting for more than six hours.

WNU Editor: This is so typical of a socialist state-run society. The product (in this case gas) is super cheap .... the problem is that it is next to impossible to buy it. I experienced the same thing growing up in the former Soviet Union .... bought the T-shirt and wore it .... and I (and so many others who lived in that type of hell-hole) .... are grateful that we live in a market-dominate economy, and not a state-planned one. As for those who live in Venezuela .... I know exactly what you guys are going through.
