Chavista logic! Elias Jaua: If the people did not eat, the shelves would be full!



"If the Venezuelans did not eat, the shelves would be full"... this according to brainiac Venezuelan Minister of Education Elias Jaua.

Clearly, logic and reason elude Mr. Jaua, as the population has on average lost over 10kg last year due to the inability to afford or find food at any price. Grocery stores are not restocking their shelves due to Chavista logic (demanding that stores sell at a profit loss, courtessy of SUNDDE) and the Bolivar (Venezuela currency) is worthless and about to be devalued AGAIN by lopping off 3 zeros. (But the average Venezuelan can buy the Petro scam... providing he has 1200 dollars or 1000 Euros.)

13,000% hyperinflation,
41,000,000% devaluation of the Bolivar in 19 years, and
The Bolivar has lost 99.6% of its value in a year.
95% of the population live at or below poverty level
60% live in extreme poverty
