A few live wealthy and rich here, and a lot of people live under worst circumstances, i see everyday lots of nomad families walking the streets... venezuela is getting full of nomad families who lives in misery, also violence and crime is booming to incredible levels, almost nobody takes their phones out due insecurity... paper money btw has almost no value so is not a target to stole...

Almost all families have problems because there is not enough food for everybody, and the problem is not exactly that there is not food.. because you go to a supermarket or a butchery and there is plenty of food (well maybe less than before for sure, but enough because demand has lower)
the problem is affording it, kilogram of meat cost around 3-4 dollars, basically to live here you need around 20 USD per week... to live with just enough... and the problem is that the minimum wage is around 6 usd... thats just sad...

the way people who is not rich enogh to afford that, usually do big lines waiting for regulated-price products that cost a lot more that in a regular super market, products such as vegetable oil, pasta, flour, harinapan, and even sometimes milk...

Milk is like gold here, is hard to find a non-adulterated milk because companies have to sell milk in a regulated price, so they don't sell exactly milk, they add some shit and rename it " Milky drink" or in spanish "bebida lactea"

i think they should hol up and think about it for a moment, they should think why they want socialism and what they want from it, because i think the most humanitary people is the ones who have more to give, so if you start a taxation for social plans, or start taking the country incomes for social plans, of course part of the ecomony is going there, and people who don't are part of the social plan soon or later will be affected, and all the economy would stary to collapsing, specially if you let a social plan with a exploid, and then majority of lazy poplulation try to get some free benefit, and if you give them what they need to be lazy, they will multiplicate... that's what happened here, until the amount of poppulation surviving by goverment gifts and shit, until boom there is no money and everything is collapsing, no money for more social plans, and now something that started as "humanity" now has become the most biggest humanitary crisis that has happened lately in history

i would not call them "goverment", i rather to refer to them as the regime... and the regime doesn't care about how many people die, as long as they are in power, this has no difference when kings eat until get super fatty while the feudal villagers are starving... this is just pure tirany, goverment even tries to take verybody their crypto miners.... since having a miner is the only way to be free in this country, they also try to take them away from people with secret police
