If you had any savings, their value is essentially zero. Thus, all are dependent on the government. The government’s debts have been wiped out.
I notice the ruling elite is not hurting. They take care of themselves with payment in real money and exclusive stores.
The public gets nothing but what it deserves, since it reelected maduro. They have none of my sympathy.
I thought that the election was considered fraudulent.
Do you really believe all of the starving people in Venezuela re-elected the guy who's starving them? Seriously?
Maduro, like his mentor, Hugo Chavez, is a de facto dictator. They jailed or killed the opposition candidates and rigged the elections in their favor. Chavez said after one election that he had the support of the people of Venezuela because 100% of them voted for him. 100%? Really?
The people of Venezuela didn't elect Maduro. He elected himself.
Remember what Hillary did to Bernie in the democRAT primary in 2016? She took over control of the DNC and then had DNC chair Wasserman-Shultz rig the votes so she would win and he could not. Hillary eventually paid him off with an expensive lakeside home in return for him bowing out.
If that can happen here in America in plain sight, imagine how little chance Maduro's opponents have of defeating him, when he controls everything, including the vote counting.
The people of Venezuela don't deserve Maduro, anymore than the Cuban people deserve Castro or the starving North Koreans deserve Little Fat Boy. You make it sound like these people had a choice. They didn't.
That's why thousands and thousands have fled the country for the basic necessities of life. With an inflation rate above the 40,000 annual percentage range, if any goods were available in the stores, which they are not, they would be unaffordable. Dump truck loads of money would be needed just to go to the supermarket.
With no food, no basic necessities like soap and toilet paper and any money they do have being worthless, do you really think these people re-elected Maduro? They didn't.
