How hard is it to make bread? Well… if you have adopted socialist policies, I guess it can be real hard.
Venezuela has a bread shortage. The government has decided bakers are the problem.
Due to the sort of brilliant economics we could expect from a President Sanders or Warren, Venezuela doesn’t have enough wheat to make the flour needed for a sufficient supply of bread. Consequently, bakeries that are selling their very limited supply of product at elevated prices – you know, basic supply and demand – are getting into legal trouble with what passes for the government.
