IAmA Boy from Venezuela, the country of the news in the world.... I´m just a youth (Probably no too young for some people haha) trying to survive in this country.. I will explain what are happening in Venezuela... AMA!

What are you doing to keep yourself functioning in such a poor economy? What has worked well and what hasn't?

Working very hard, but now is coming the moment that anything that you do is insufficient. Almost nothing works well. Is it like a nightmare?

What do you do for work?

Shoes store :)

How do people afford shoes?

How do people afford shoes?

Some people can buy shoes and some not, but this year is gonna be very dificult, every year is less people who can buy certain things.

is there anything we in the world can do to help venezuela?

Thanks you for that question, I'm thankful. If you can help some Venezuelan people in your country (if you know some) that's enough, but more than enough would be your prayers. Would you pray for us?

How old are you? How was it before Chavez? Is it different Chavez period VS Maduro period?

I´m 27 year old. Before Chavez the country was good, opportunities everywhere, the people of venezuela were known to travel a lot and shop, but now that is history (sad).. Chavez and Maduro is the same thing, but with Chavez the oil barrel was 150$ so he had more money (to steal) and the time bomb explote to Maduro goverment. So, are the same?

For those without enough money to leave, what do you see life like if nothing changes and what sort of government model is it you prefer to make life fair amongst your fellow man and worth continuing to live?

If nothing change this will be like a war (right now is like one but is gonna be worst), the food is very expensive and the people can´t pay the prices, the medicine you have to bring it from another country (imagine the prices)... I prefer the goverment model who allow you to live with the work of your hands and who help the country to grown up, no steals the money of the people.. Am rigth?

How much does that car cost now?

That car cost now like 1.528.000.000Bs and the minimun salary is 800.000Bs. Crazy?

Many people point to Venezuela as the inevitable result of a governent run by socialist ideology. Do you agree with this belief or do you think there are other more important contributors?

For me, the principal responsable of this is the goverment, but also some part of the Venezuelan people too, because they are in the power because of the people who voted for them. So, this start with the goverment but their corruption is know in all of the organism of the state or country, police, fiscals, military, everywhere. Did I responde rigth your question?

I've only sort of kept up with it but your example about the inflation is amazing. Is there any realistic solution?

The inflation is very bad, is the biggest in the world as I said before, the real name is "hyperinflation", if you google it you will know more about that. For the moment the solution is very difficult to find, because the goverment have the military with them, and the politics that are the opposition are bad too.. Is complicated.. Now you know more?

Do you have any intention of leaving the country or do you plan on staying and trying to turn the situation around?

Do you have any intention of leaving the country or do you plan on staying and trying to turn the situation around?

I want to leave, but rigth now I can´t for different factors like money, family, etc. It´s sad no?

What is an ongoing situation that in other countries would be considered as horrifying but you or those around you got used to it?

What is an ongoing situation that in other countries would be considered as horrifying but you or those around you got used to it?

My friend, I have many to tell you, but I´m going to tell you only two.

1- It is very difficult to get personal hygiene items (if you find them, are very expensive)

2- You need to visit like 10 pharmarcys or drugstore to find medicine (sometime you visit more than 20 and you can not find the medicine that you need)

It´s crazy no?

If you were able to escape and move to a Western country, would you still vote for Socialist politicians and policies?

I have never voted for this type of policy in my country, if I can escape of this, why would I vote for something like this in another country?

What can the rest of the world do to help?

Seriously, is there anything that can stop this cycle?

Thank you for your good intentions !! Is difficult to answer this type of question because we don't know what need to happen to stop this cycle, but for now we need your prayer. And I do the same question that I did for another person, would you pray for us?

Were you offended by our president allegedly talking about shithole countries?

Incoming downvotes! Just to clarify, do you downvote because you think he said it or did not say it?

Were you offended by our president allegedly talking about shithole countries?

Your president is a very distinguished person and a lot of controversy, but I have to say that everything that he do and did for Venezuela is rigth in this moment, like the penaltys for Venezuelan goverment. is Trump rigth?
