I'm seeing an uptick in the number of Venezuelan women checking out my profile on SA. Those women obviously understand that capitalism works

I've been getting quite a few hits from them too.

If socialism drives a few smoking hot Venezuelan babes to the US, I would say that at least in some measure it has succeeded! LOL

these are govt. mandated. the market didn't ask for it or demand it.

this is the govt. telling businesses what they must make or they get fined.

the addition of ethanol blends into gasoline is fascist.

arbitrary gas mileage for vehicles which leads to safety issues with cars.

setting Fuel CAFE standard is a legitimate govt. regulation when dealing with smog.

however, its still fascist. the govt. mandates 20 different blends on the market.
