Venezuela’s Hotels are asking tourists to bring their own toilet paper — because they don’t have any and can’t get any
Venezuela’s product shortages have become so severe that some hotels in that country are asking guests to bring their own toilet paper and soap, a local tourism industry spokesman said on Wednesday.

In Merida, a state in western Venezuelan that’s known for its stunning mountain landscapes, small hotels are struggling to stock their rooms with basic supplies, especially as the busy Semana Santa or Holy Week holiday gets underway.

“It’s an extreme situation,” says Xinia Camacho, owner of a 20-room boutique hotel in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada national park. “For over a year we haven’t had toilet paper, soap, any kind of milk, coffee or sugar. So we have to tell our guests to come prepared.”

Perhaps soon the demand for toilet paper will taper off since it’s equally hard to get any food to eat:

Hey Millennialls! You’ve been telling pollsters you prefer socialism to capitalism. Are you nuts? If you could institute socialism in the Sahara there would soon be a shortage of sand.

John Hinderaker: No form of socialism has ever worked at any time or in any place. Socialism is, always has been and always will be a disaster. People like Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and their voters need a remedial course in history. Or maybe they should just read a newspaper now and then.
