something we can ALL look forward to if the Democrats have their way. it's time the people woke up to that party of snakes you all elected. and also deprogram you children from the teaching of these Commie camps called: public schools and Universities.

Venezuela shopping centres halve opening times as crisis bites

Shopping centres in the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, say they will be halving their opening times to four hours a day.

The move will allow them to comply with government energy rationing.

Ministers says a severe drought caused by El Nino has brought 18 of the country's hydro-electric dams to critically low water levels.

A spokesman for the country's retail association said the drop in working hours would have an impact on jobs.

The state energy corporation (Corpoelec) had wanted cuts twice a day, between 1pm and 3pm and then again between 7pm and 9pm.


The retail association, The Chamber of Venezuelan Commercial Centres (Cavececo), said it had made an alternative proposal: that shops should open late at 12:00 and close at 19:00 saving five hours of energy use daily.

But they had not received a response to this suggestion, the organisation said.

"To turn the lights off at one in the afternoon and not to be able to work would have a huge impact on our business," said Mleidys Galves who works in a pizzeria in the Lider Shopping Centre in Caracas.

"That is our peak selling time when people come out to eat lunch."

Cavececo said opening and closing twice in a day would be disastrous for banking operations, health centres, servicing companies, pharmacies, supermarkets and particularly restaurants that depended on electrical energy to preserve and refrigerate their products.

However, the reduction to only four hours a day would also have an impact on businesses that ran two work shifts which represents around 75% of employees in shopping centres.

The government has also asked private residences to start saving energy and has been rationing domestic water supplies since January.

Oh yes it is. and guess who would be IN CHARGE of all those Guberment Agencies making the decisions of REQUIRING all of those things done to THE PEOPLE and Businesses in the country? Their MASTERS to the slaves who supports the Democrat party. You can't get that through people heads in this country. It's becoming damn scary anymore

 

[Old Rocks]

the trolling is bad again. nat has taken to becoming one along with the vor and Carla danger. Is there nothing we can do to stop them harassing us? reporting it over and over might help.

LOL. As in they dare point out the truth. There are several nations in Europe now that have living standards that exceed ours. Far fewer of their citizens die early of gunshot or other causes. They live longer, and fewer of their children die young.

'd live like the ignorant peasants. I rented a beautiful hill top villa with a full time cook and a full time housekeeper for 100 US bucks a month.

There's nothing like living in a country living in poverty under a Socialist/Communist government to give you the 'Come To Jesus Moment'.

Theres nothing like taking advantaqe of living in a country living in poverty under a socialist/communist government to give you the come to Jesus moment that taking advantage of poor people isnt very hard to do. And can be personally rewarding.

 

[Old Rocks]

They ask a whole 1,000 out of hundreds of millions and you expect people to believe the poll results are true to the actual mood of the nation?
I know the idiots will believe it..

More to the point --- did the poll even ask or define what respondents think the term means and whether they buy the McCarthyesque perversions of it?

Seems more like a poll on the terminology than on stuff like social security and public libraries.


{EDIT} Confirmed. The full poll is posted here. It gives no description or definition of the terms "socialism", captialism" or "democratic socialism", meaning the definition is left entirely to the respondent, which of course will vary tremendously according to what each respondent understands the terms to mean.

And that in turn means it's a poll about the terminology, not the ideology. It cannot mean anything else.

Since no common definition is established, in effect the question this poll asks is "do you have a favorable or unfavorable emotional association with the term socialism? That tells us virtually nothing about Bernie Sanders, or about the practice of socialism itself. It tells far more about those who have exploited the term, from Adolf Hitler to the USSR to the McCarthyists.

Why not ask me whether I have a favorable or unfavorable response to a crescent wrench or end wrench? Socialism and capitalism are tools.

Voting is socialist? Please explain this, I could use a good laugh.

Keep on laughing...We can always use morons so that we can tell our kids what can happen if they don't bother to go beyond 5th grade.

 

[Old Rocks]

42% of democrats are in favor of socialism. 41% of those don't know what it is.

Free college bruh!

Lol

Yes, the first two years of college or tech school free for the sake of the nation. We need trained people. There are at present 5 million jobs in this nation going unfilled for lack of skilled people. We import them from other countries, why not train our own people for those jobs.

I've talked to 5 of you dipshits today, none of you have been able to explain your assertion that normal social functions are socialist. All of you went for the insult first. You pod people are hilarious, and kinda dumb.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Because they are naïve and lazy
All economic/political/property theories have good aspects to them. It is the end game and how they go about it that you have to recognize.
From your link(then click on yougov link), it seems to be mostly "young adults" 18-29. Which, stands by my first point lol.
These people come up thinking everyone/thing, even the Earth, owes you something. Its bullshit.

It's because jobs no longer offer the benefits of medical coverage and pensions. Once those benefits were washed out of the labor market, people started to seek out benefits through government.

If Conservatives had not catered to the business community and looked the other way while living wages and benefits were bleached out of employment, those same Conservatives are using invectives and epithets to paint the labor force as "lazy and naïve". Such a view is itself lazy and naive.

Progressive can't even figure out how to access clean water without massive government intervention, how do you expect them to get health insurance?

2/3rds of the kids who "graduate" high schools are unable to read or write at grade level, are you sending them for a free college education?

Says someone barely whose posts are barely literate. The kids I see at college are often working two jobs, and working their asses off at difficult classes in the sciences. That is a level of knowledge that you will never attain.

What a hack lol
Yea, the corporate dems dindu nuffin, RIGHT?
Dude, the left supports illegals which stagnates wages
Instead of fixing problems, they want to artificially raise wages (NOT the RIGHT thing to do)
They de-regulated the financial sector forcing the middle class to bail them out and they signed our jobs away to third world shit-holes.
Be REAL.
Robert Rubin, Clintons treasury sec helped pushed GLBA through. When he left Clintons admin. he went to become CFO(I think) of CITI bank. Right after the bail-out that corporate Democrat asshole got a 125 MILLION dollar bonus.
YOU believe it.

D'oh! Maybe you can alter the data like it was a temperature reading refusing to validate your stupid AGW Theory?

I found it funny that 17% of Republicans are in favor of socialism.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Here are 20 institutions within the U.S. that right wingers don't even realize are socialist:

1, Social Security
2. Medicare and Medicaid
3. The Post Office
4. Public Schools and Colleges and Universities
5. Libraries
6. Water Treatment Systems
7. Recreational Centers, including Gyms, Parks, Beaches
8. National Parks
9. Public Transit Systems, Trains, Subways, Buses
10.Police, Firefighters, Sanitation Services, Public Hospitals
