-Your country is purportedly 'selling' 2 million barrels of oil a day, but you are standing in line for 4 hours for black market gasoline for the generator.
-For every 5 hours of no electricity, you get one hour of public electricity and then the government announces it's going to cut back on providing that hour.

-People consider themselves lucky if they can actually identify the corpse of the relative that's been missing for two weeks.
