So like, you guys know that your shortages aren't a result of a natural scarcity or some foreign conspiracy, right? You're aware that this problem is entirely the result of your government making it mandatory for producers to sell their stuff at such a low price that most of them go bankrupt and stop producing, right? You're aware that this problem will go away very quickly as soon as people are allowed to actually buy and sell stuff again, and so you're working on getting a new government, right?

Because I assume they're telling you it's our fault.

Thumbnail doesn't give away too much, the bottom part is cut off so you can't see that it's a stack of toilet paper easily

The first answer to the top comment gives it away immediately though.

Yes: Cupo (quota) Cadivi/Cencoex: in the black market 1 USD >= 730 Bs, while Official is about 200Bs; we are limited to buy 3000 USD/year with the official rate, 300$ for internet shopping and 2700$ for travel to other countries.

many people do this as a business, they go to some destinations where they can buy most of the cheap officials dollars (there are limits by destination), then when they return, they sell the money in the black market for a shit-ton of Bs. Some times they bought the airplane ticket and hotel, meals etc, to others peoples in order to buy part of their "cupos".

Edit: fun fact: Cuba is one of the destinations where you can request most of your quota.

Chavez probably banned toilet paper because he feared the people would use it to get rid of shit like him.

Fun fact: lack of toilet paper is one of symbols of economic ineffectivity in 70-80s communist Poland. Whenever it was available, people bought much of it.
