At the end of last week, Maduro signed a decree that would give Venezuela’s Ministry of Popular Power for Social Process of Work the ability to order any Venezuelan with the physical or technical capabilities to join a government effort to work in the agriculture sector for up to 120 days.
Venezuela is facing a deepening economic crisis in which basic goods, such as food, medicines and toiletries, are in short supply. Tens of thousands have traveled outside the country, mainly to Colombia, to restock supplies as store shelves and kitchen cupboards are nearly empty. Venezuela’s farming association in June said only 25 percent of the country’s agricultural land is being used to farm.
Amnesty International criticized the decree as “unlawful and effectively amounts to forced labor.”
Hey, everybody has a job right?
This is what the GOVERNMENT MEANS when they say they want to create jobs.
Beets! More Beets!
Hmmm… presidential decree – now where have I heard that before…
Now go look up Executive Order 13603 and let it sink in real good.

“Oh, and you may want to bring clean underwear and make no plans for the near future.”
Or for the far future, for that matter …
