CARACAS — Thousands of Venezuelans lined up outside the country's equivalent of Best Buy, a chain of electronics stores known as Daka, hoping for a bargain after the socialist government forced the company to charge customers "fair" prices.
President Nicolás Maduro ordered a military "occupation" of the company's five stores as he continues the government's crackdown on an "economic war" it says is being waged against the country, with the help of Washington.Coming to a country near you!!!! |

[ link to www.azcentral.com] One of the comments below sums it up nicely... If I understand the logic used here you are a criminal who is stealing from your neighbor if you install a CFL bulb and buy less electricity from APS. They can't run the grid if you install an energy efficient AC or a more efficient appliance. Since you are buying less you are stealing from your neighbor who has not increased their efficiency. |

People like me who are disabled are entitled to complementary government benefits. BTW, I'm disabled because my knee hurts because I am overweight.
