7. Lets provide some insight: Oil was nationalized in the 1970s, the $ exchange rate control is under strict goverment control, is not the first time such a scheme was applied, in the 80s a exchange rates control were imposed for a shorter period of time after decades of an overvalued Bolivar stimulated capital flight wich is exactly what happened during the chavista regime with exacerbated corruption to add to the toxic mix, controlling who has access to cheap $ is a mechanism of social/political control, the bankrupt of large sectors of the private economy was a deliberate act of economic warfare on the goverment´s behalf in other to put under regime control the leftovers of the economy and complete the economical and political hegemony in Venezuela, but the chavista in their hubris did not forseen and refuse to adress the problem of the collapse of oil prices wich prevented the import of the necesary goods to keep the economy functioning and to make matters worst, with a venezuelan private industry devastated by overregulation, price controls, exchange rate controls unable to supply the internal market, in other words, the chavista scheme acted like a bomerang and now has hit back the creators of the crisis.
8. brown people=poverty
9. Inflation rose to 180%
10. Look at the obesity rate in Venezuela. These people could benefit from less food. All I saw in the food queues was a lot of sagging bellies and ugly fat asses.
11. the president selfishly thinks more of himself to admit he should step down, hes incompitent than think more for the good of people of venezuela they dont have anything theyre strting to kill each other and steal theyre moneys worth like dust
12. Why do people think it wise to surrender their individual economic freedom to the government (politicians)? Are politicians better in haggling the price of toilet paper for you? Are you not as an individual in a better position to obtain a better bargain for the fruits of your labor in the free market? This fear of not being good enough alone as an individual to transact business in a free market is the lifeblood of socialist politicians. They build on that fear. Making people subservient to them. Each person should be the saviour of himself. Unless he realize that he can't save others.
13. This are even bad in Urb. Santa Rosa de Lima..
14. price fixing is bad policy
15. "cutting production on purpose" he says
    of course you cut production if you dont make money on it. The socialist system
    strangles companies so they cant make profit on their work. Fucking communist pointing
    finger for the system failure..
16. Please, help me to get out from Venezuela https://www.gofundme.com/DRCampaign
17. If you own a business and you treat your consumers like trash. Don't be surprised when the customers leave and you loose you business. Venezuela was the business and the US was the customer. Besides their leader got into bed Iran and Cuba. What leaders to look up to when trying to fix your own country
18. where is Sean Penn when you need him?
19. If americans are truly christians they should look firts at their people´s problems rather to look at other countries. If we are bad or good, that´s non of your bussinness. USA pay for doing terrorisim and what?? anybody says anything
20. Let venezuela in peace. Let them to solve their problems without your opinion...
