"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."

Venezuela Feels The Bern - $150.00 For A Dozen Eggs
Submitted by A. Magnus on Tue, 2016-05-31 23:00
"At the Mercal, a dozen eggs cost 450 bolivars in December. The official price is now 1,020 bolivars. But Linares said she never finds eggs at the Mercal. So she buys them from street vendors for around 1,500 bolivars -- a staggering $150 at the official exchange rate, or about $1.50 at the black market rate."
