BOGOTA, Colombia (AP)
Venezuela's socialist government has seized nearly 4 million toys from a private company and says it intends to hand them out as Christmas gifts to poor children this holiday season. The country's fair pricing authority seized the toys from three warehouses run by Kreisel, Venezuela's largest toy distributor, on Friday. Two company executives were detained on suspicion of promoting price speculation. Agency director William Contreras alleged that Kreisel underreported its inventory in order to sell some toys at higher prices. Kreisel has not commented officially beyond responding to Twitter messages of support.......Contreras said the seizure would teach companies "that you can't play with the rights of Venezuelans.".....Authorities said local supply committees will be in charge of distributing the toys "fairly" to children.........To Read More.....
My Take - Okay...talk about Orwellian reasoning. The store owners are charging what they think they need to make money but that's "playing with the rights of Venezuelans", but seizing the toys isn't playing with the rights of the owners. Hmmmmm they must not be from Venezuela....right? And I always love how people who have no skin in the game will decide what's "fair". And who wrote the book of fair? Fair is largely indefinable, that's why the left loves it so much. That way they can define and redefine it to suit the next convenient philosophical flavor of the day. The day of total collapse isn't that far off for Venezuela and these leftist leaders will flee the country with billions of dollars they stolen from the people of Venezuela, but somehow that's not "playing with the rights of Venezuelans". But that's what leftists do.......everywhere and every time. Why is that so hard to get?
