According to Maduro a bottle of water in Colombia costs 50 thousand pesos (25 dollars)

[Bacchus4.0]

Maduro was defending his amazing economic policies and was saying that Colombia was even more expensive.

Maduro said a bottle of water costs 10 Bs in Venezuela ($1.60 or so on the official rate or Colombian 3200 pesos)

But Maduro said the same bottle of water would cost 150 Bs in Colombia or 48,000 Colombian pesos according to their official exchange rate.

He was interrupted by the governor of Táchira about the price and then said, the 10 Bs bottle of water would cost 600 Bs in Colombia (which would then be $100 official rate)

The average 350 ml bottle of water in Colombia sells for 1300 pesos or about 65 cents US. (cheaper than in Venezuela by the way)


No wonder Weisbrot still has a job with these idiots in charge.

1. The sad thing is that there are those that will take this idiot's word as gospel,

and will proclaim from the pulpit as true no matter the actual facts, all except one, whose posting privileges have been suspended.

3. Chavistas are idots, liars, and criminals. Glad he's gone. DU just got a little better n/t

4. Wait, really? His account was suspended completely?

Wouldn't be surprised if it was. That guy just loved to run his mouth. Chavistas tend to get offensive and insulting when they're left without arguments.

5. He's got 5 hides, so he can't post until the earliest hidden post drops off,

which will be on May 27.

6. Can't believe you've been watching him so closely you've already calculated when he can post again.

Someone here has far too much time on his hands, if you're already trying to ready yourself to start re-attacking him.

I think having him around forces you to try to move those olive, brown, black, yellow, dingy grey fasc brain cells too fast. and it causes you headaches.

7. I've never even responded to any of his posts,

so how could I re-attack him if I've never attacked him in the first place?
Matter of fact, I could care less about him, I just provided some info to other members, got a problem with that?

As far as too much time on my hands, well, I am on my 96 hours off duty, so, in a sense, I do have too much time on my hands, and again, got a problem with that?

I think having him around forces you to try to move those olive, brown, black, yellow, dingy grey fasc brain cells too fast. and it causes you headaches.

What causes me headaches is demagogues who resort to insults when confronted with facts.
And eating too much smoke.

8. "...far too much time on his hands.." Says the person with 84,000 posts. Hoo-ha!
