As (almost always) customary, I include an excerpt with my postings because unlike others here, I value the time of the readers. Here it is:

For example, you know, with respect to food, we’re a net exporter of agricultural commodities. And, obviously, the high prices are hitting Americans very hard, but they’re — that — in a way that is different from some places that are facing famine, for example.
Isn't this what every failed regime resorts to? I can just see a spokesperson in Venezuela now saying something similar:
"We are a resilient people and we face challenges. While the shelves are not fully stocked, we have bananas in many commissaries and baby formula in some. The docks are not moving because Joe Smith took a well-deserved 7 months off to be with his boyfriend who just had a baby and we know how compassionate Venezuelans are to let a gay couple take time off to be lovey-dovey even though his partner is out of work. Cheer up, countrymen and comrades. People are dying in Africa and if we are all patient, there should be Tampons in every government-run store"
