.
In addition to grossly inefficient, top-down bureaucracies and chronic budget deficits, the public schools in Chicago and the country of Venezuela apparently have something else in common: a toilet paper shortage.

“The action in the producer of toilet paper, sanitary napkins and disposable diapers responds to the state’s obligation to ensure a steady supply of basic goods for the people,” the agency, Sundecop, said. Bureaucrats added that the scarcity is a “violation of the right” to obtain such goods.

Meanwhile, in Chicago, Alderman Nicholas Sposato held a toilet paper drive to collect toilet tissue for financially troubled schools last week, reports WLS-TV.

The alderman now says he has enough toilet paper to last all of his Northwest Side ward’s overcrowded public schools a year— generic rolls as well as plush name brands.

The difference is that there is no scarcity of TP in Chicago, rather its a budget issue whereas in Ven. the economic system the government has established does not encourage production.
