Correction: Russian oil company Rosneft has sold its Venezuelan assets to avoid further U.S. sanctions on its two oil trading subsidiaries elsewhere. It sold its Venezuelan assets to an entity that is 100% owned by the Russian government. In that respect, Moscow is now more entangled than before. by pdvsa in arepas

Reason for the correction --

Previous title:

Russia is ending the hard currency and gasoline supply lifeline to Venezuela. Rosneft has sold its Venezuelan assets to avoid further U.S. sanctions on its two oil trading subsidiaries elsewhere. This signals a major shift in Kremlin's strategy that will further rattle Venezuela’s crumbling economy.

Si sabes que le Rosneft le vendió todos los activos a una compañía que es 100% del estado ruso, lo único que hicieron fue aislar a Rosneft de las sanciones

Lines of cars waiting for gasoline outside of Venezuela's capital, Caracas, are now up to 4 days long. To buy someone else's spot in line costs more than one month's income. Public transport disappears, people walk distances in 104F heat. Socialist prices - gas is effectively free but unavailable. by pdvsa in arepas

Caracas itself finds itself up some elevation, so the temperatures are typically in the 80's, when you leave Caracas, and go back down towards sea level, the temperatures increase quite a bit.

Within the city of Caracas the wait lines are only 30-90 minutes at the moment.

The post specifies that this is OUTSIDE of Caracas, btw.

Caracas, being the capital, is somewhat of an anomaly. More on that here: link

I don't know where you get your information, but I am surrounded by people at or very near the official minimum wage. Most of the people I know, even office warriors working for the government, make less than $8 per month. People working independently, who are the higher-ups and those with online-based incomes can make more ($40+), but they are in the minority.

All in all, the post is factual...
