WTF !! Argentina Freezes Supermarket Prices To Halt Soaring Inflation; Chaos To Follow !!
Up until now, Argentina's descent into a hyperinflationary basket case, with a crashing currency and loss of outside funding was relatively moderate and controlled. All this is about to change. Today, in a futile attempt to halt inflation, the government of Cristina Kirchner announced a two-month price freeze on supermarket products. The price freeze applies to every product in all of the nation’s largest supermarkets — a group including Walmart, Carrefour, Coto, Jumbo, Disco and other large chains. The companies’ trade group, representing 70 percent of the Argentine supermarket sector, reached the accord with Commerce Secretary Guillermo Moreno, the government’s news agency Telam reported. As AP reports, "The commerce ministry wants consumers to keep receipts and complain to a hotline about any price hikes they see before April 1."

i think they will be ok. brazil is going to introduce it's own central bank. that is - they'll be ok if they decide not to practice fractional reserve lending, rampant printing, false derivatives trading, and a zero commodity collateralized currency system. hmmm now that i mentioned the things they can't do to be successful, i think i should make a derivative against the idea that they will choose morality over stupidity. chances are i would retire on that one. toungebanana2stay tuned!!

When globalist business agree's to shit like this in one nation. That means they will make up the cost somewhere else.

Otherwise any normal business would shut down.

Im gonna call it out. Remember on deep impact when they froze the price of everything because the panic was about to set in from the comet? Similar thing going on here? Possible, if not from a comet/asteroid then from some other form of doom they want to stop the panic from.

It's very common in Germany and France. There are regulated sale dates as well. Businesses can not randomly compete.

Hats off to the Bank of ENgland for once, who have probably worked hard behind the scenss to engineer this!

If they can't leave their hands off other people's property, then this is better than having to nuke the shit out of them with a battery of Trident missiles.

Perhaps when the stores are empty and being torched by rioters and people are starving and dying of simply diseases in the street for want of 10 cent medications, the loittle shits'll think twice about trying to steal from others.

I read this at zerohedge, and it's the few nails before the coffin lid is lowered on Argentina. The grocery chains won't eat it on prices to safe argentina when it will cost them more every week to buy the goods for the store and sell it at a major loss. What will happen is that the stores will go bare and the chains will go out of business.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
