I haven't heard of bakers getting arrested, at least not recently. At least in the city I live no bakeries have closed and no bakers that I know of have been arrested.

As for "somehow contributing" to the wheat shortage.............honestly, it's not unbelievable. But it depends on the specifics.

Now, what I did hear recently was that apparently the government bought about 90.000 phones. The idea is to give them to the people. The intention is so that the people who can't afford phones will be able to use at least a simple phone for communication. In practice, they're all gonna be sold and resold.

As for my family, well, recently we were forced to eat arepas (look it up) with...basically nothing. Because we had nothing to fill them or add to them. No cheese, no butter, nothing. At most, "tomato paste"...and that thing is tasteless.

But, today my parents, or at least my mother, had their cestaticket recharged, so we were able to buy a good deal of stuff. Mainly milk, ketchup, mustard, mayo, oil for cooking, some flour, and 1 soap, along with 660gr of cheese, and a bit of canned tuna for my cats.

We're still low on soap, and shampoo, and food for the animals, but at least for now we can hold on.
