Last I heard the countries in South America weren't at war with each other. It's ludicrous to assume that some smart capitalist couldn't ship a load of potatoes and a gross of cooking oil and set up a stand on a Venezuela street. Your assumption that South Americans aren't smart enough is indicative of an ugly American viewpoint.Why would Big Mac "bring back fries after getting rid of them last year" according to the A.P. Is the A.P. the source for the entire convoluted story? Why would MacDonald establish itself in South America if nobody could afford to spend a week's wages on a order of large fries? Nothing makes sense in the story. Doesn't South America produce cooking oil and freaking potatoes?
The story is about Venezuela, not all of frikken South America. Your belief that all the countries of South America are indistinguishable is hilarious. You're the archetypical ugly American.
Can they do such a thing without government intervention.
I understand Columbians are fighting the thug gangs.
In other words, they could do it if the government didn't interfere. The problem is, and the reason for Venezuela's abject poverty, is the government interferes in everything.
You obviously don't know squat about Colombia either. We fight "thug gangs" in this country as well.
