Speaking of Fail

I usually think of the (family owned) UK Guardian site as reliably informative, but this is crap.  Here's their headline for a story out of Venezuela.

What?  Why, if you weren't an insane dictator, would you jail people for not making enough Pepsi?  The answer is, you wouldn't.  And no one did.

The company blamed the production pause on a lack of raw materials but the country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, has routinely accused Polar, the country’s largest food and beverage producer, of slowing production or hoarding goods to spur product shortages in the Opec nation’s struggling economy.

[...]

Venezuelan media reported that labor ministry inspectors, along with local police, ordered the arrest of the manager, two human resources workers and a lawyer at the plant.

Maduro has described the country’s chronic product shortages as the product of an “economic war” led by opposition leaders and private companies.

Also, the "freed Pepsi workers" were in jail over the weekend.

These are the same kinds of things the opposition did to try to oust Hugo Chávez, as when PDVSA went on strike to halt oil production - to bring the economy down.  Ruin their own country to get rid of a democratically elected socialist leader.  They are the monied and powerful capitalists in Venezuela, and this is how they work.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
