The Cuban government announced Friday it is launching widespread rationing of chicken, eggs, rice, beans, soap and other basic products in the face of a grave economic crisis. Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez told the state-run Cuban News Agency that various forms of rationing would be employed in order to deal with shortages of staple foods.

Venezuela has been a mess for a long time. There are rolling blackouts. The people are starving. People from all social classes are eating out of garbage cans; the educated have now resorted to prostitution for groceries. Even some kids are now selling their bodies for basic supplies. It’s heinous. Zoos are being broken into, where the animals are being slaughtered for meat. Hospitals are reportedly operating under 19thcentury conditions. Basic supplies, like soap and gloves, are in short supply. Medicine is also in short supply. It’s a disaster. Nicolas Maduro, the successor to the late Hugo Chavez, is presiding over the massive collapse of so-called 21st Century Socialism.
