- HackerNews_User 10y agoNah. Venezuela's brand of Socialism/Communism just wasn't the right brand of Socialism/Communism. That's why it didn't work.
- EliRivers 10y agoNo. It's caused by price controls on sugar.
- igni 10y agoFrom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in_Venezuela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_supply_and_sanitation_in... - "Water supply is not uniformly continuous and often fails to meet basic drinking water quality standards" vs "The iconic drink is the latest to join a group of basic products becoming scarce" (from the article) Coca-Cola is not a basic product. At best it's a cheap luxury.
