"Kellogs left Venezuela after more than half century"

2019-01-03 04:55:26 UTC  

....that doesn't prove state ownership

2019-01-03 04:55:27 UTC  

wtf

2019-01-03 04:55:31 UTC  

that is not relevant

2019-01-03 04:55:47 UTC  

it is relevant it is a proof that foreing companies are leaving the country

2019-01-03 04:55:55 UTC  

also with Kimberly Clark

2019-01-03 04:56:00 UTC  

it is a proof too

2019-01-03 04:56:09 UTC  

it shows the expropiations of enterprises in the country

2019-01-03 04:56:17 UTC  

Kimberly Clark was not the only one

2019-01-03 04:56:23 UTC  

No longer worth selling corn flakes...

2019-01-03 04:56:44 UTC  

this article on The Nation, from 2016, also references the private sector as the dominant force in the economy

2019-01-03 04:56:47 UTC  

too poor to buy corn flakes... <:ohno:520006095125872641>

2019-01-03 04:56:49 UTC  

as does just about every study on the matter

2019-01-03 04:56:54 UTC  

ahhhh c'mon man

2019-01-03 04:56:57 UTC  

really?

2019-01-03 04:57:16 UTC  

rofl, that's a protest?

2019-01-03 04:57:28 UTC  

I thought it was a gay pride on shitty motorcycles parade

2019-01-03 04:57:43 UTC  
2019-01-03 04:57:57 UTC  

the public sector is not the leading element in the Venezuelan economy. literally no source has this as its content

2019-01-03 04:58:24 UTC  

@The Big Oof fucking stop

For Christ'sake

2019-01-03 04:58:36 UTC  

Well... how's that petro doing? 🙄

2019-01-03 04:58:37 UTC  

that's weird because many enterprises left the country to don't risk any expropiation

2019-01-03 04:58:41 UTC  

the Petro?

2019-01-03 04:58:42 UTC  

I get 13 pings for this server each day

2019-01-03 04:58:50 UTC  

Lol

2019-01-03 04:58:53 UTC  

it was devaluated after 3 days of it's realease

2019-01-03 04:58:59 UTC  

lol, I know

2019-01-03 04:59:09 UTC  

You can't even trade it because the volume is nothing

2019-01-03 04:59:14 UTC  

> 526 companies

Venezuela has 4,000 companies

So if 526 companies are state-owned, then it can't possibly be a state-owned/public sector dominated economy. By your own reasoning.

2019-01-03 04:59:15 UTC  

@Thomas Watson Can I add you to the opt out role? It hides the channel

2019-01-03 04:59:23 UTC  

of course, nobody wants to trade in Petros

2019-01-03 04:59:23 UTC  

No

2019-01-03 04:59:28 UTC  

Just lemme see it

526 companies out of 4,000 is a screaming minority.

2019-01-03 04:59:45 UTC  

Argument fails on its own merits
