The future of supermarkets?

A Food Fight for Hugo Chavez 

With his popularity sagging, Venezuela's fiery President is seizing supermarkets from owners. But can he keep stores stocked?

This is what happens in socialist societies like Venezuela. Ask anyone that lived in Eastern Europe before the fall of the Soviet Union. Shortages were the norm. There is an elitist group that has enough of everything & the rest struggle with shortages.

With everyone I've ever met that lived in Eastern Europe or even Cuba, they were absolutely astounded by something we take for granted every day; a clean and fully stocked supermarket with fresh fruits, vegetables & meats. I urge you to look for someone from these countries and talk to them about what they love most about our country. I betcha markets are at or very near the top.
