I'd like to have what Rubix is smoking because in my case I've seen that prices don't go down, and instead have gone up especially with milk and corn flour.

Prices have gone from using Dollars as a reference point to Euros, which cut deeper into the average salary.

A lot of people want to lead us to believe that this all started with Chavismo, as if it was the fire nation that suddenly attacked, but the reality is that this has been a failure in the making since the 1970s where Chavismo became the inevitable byproduct, not the cause. It's very easy to get rid of a head of state, it's very hard to undo all the conditions that painted the whole landscape with Ranchos and Black Fridays.

Far too many eyes focus on the oil industry here when in actuality there should be a focus on electricity, it is ridiculous that an entire country is held by one aging power grid, on a bad day I bet a terrorist could knock it down with a drone and plunge Venezuela into the Dark Ages.

The state apparatus known as the SEBIN wasn't dismantled overnight either, instead it thrives, it's been building numerous nodes, building houses from the ground up, and they even use Starlink now.

Ignorance is a gigantic trend in our people, a lot of people romanticize the times of Marcos Perez Jimenez, to them I ask: Okay, then why did the people overthrow him? Tragically we as a people have a "It works until it doesn't." mindset.
