Traders Are 'Scared As Hell' Of What's Happening In Venezuela

46. About that food supply thing..

I can think of examples of plentiful food being in the control of venal managers..India, for one, has had this problem for ages, where grain supplies are being withheld for more money.
And of people starving because conditions outside of their control have destroyed the food supply....either by droughts/floods, or by cruel political practices, ie: China's Mao created famine by destroying land and markets.

There are countries which have chosen to sell their food via external markets rather than make it available to the general population.

the issue with VZ seems to be a matter of politics, and of foreign control over resources.
The USA gov'ts have invaded damn near every So. American country in order to control resources down there,
so scratch the surface deep enough and you will find we were involved in what is happening, to some degree.

A more immediate concern is what you said: " The USA was self-sufficient food wise at one time....."

I am very concerned that our country has chosen to sell off or export or destroy the resources we need to be more self sufficient.
