#4 
President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government accused Kimberly-Clark of failing to properly notify the government of its plans.


Their problem was that they failed to perform the proper Kelo rituals before seizure. That's bad form. Dictate is considered a cultural affront, unless Obama does it.

#7 They made diapers and facial tissue so I'm guessing they also made TP and maybe feminine hygiene products as well. Venezuelans are gonna miss Kimberly-Clark.

#10 In the old days in Europe, the public toilets had newspaper literally hanging on a nail in some of the small villages..... oh wait, dipsh*t closed the newspapers too. Now we will truly see if civilization can in fact exist absent bumwad! Glorious experiments in progressive socialism continue in Venezuela.

#11 All true, but I'll bet some clever MBA (bastard!) put together a great modernization/efficiency/ 'reduced workforce' FVM briefing well before the closing.
