The government gives the poorest citizens a bag of subsidized food and you they have to manage with that, those of us that are lucky to know english and have access to the intertnet to a certain extend are able to participate on platforms like steem or do freelancing.
Regarding prices, a 2L bottle of soda, for example, cost around 280.000 VEF so if you work for a month you can buy a whooping 8L of Coke!
Food is really expensive if you want to just go and get it, this is where the queues you have seen online in photos or videos happen, hundreds of people queuing for hours/days and camping in front of stores trying to get cheap subsidized food.
The last time i dared to look inside a Mcdonalds, a big mac was around 1.000.000 VEF lol
Lol, your comment makes me wonder what world are we living in... you should open a school of English and teach the children so they will have the chance to a better living. I don't know why the world's wealth is distributed like that...
Its more a problem of mismanagement of wealth rather than a distribution problem, we where sitting on a pile of diamonds when oil was at 100$+ and every oil producing country managed to get richer and get an amazing savings account with that....
Only the Venezuelan government managed to turn a pile of diamonds into a pile of shit and poverty....
Indeed I knew about that piece of history, but I didn't thought it got so bad. I am really sorry to hear these things and I hope that in time, your country's economy will get better so that everybody will afford food, education and comfort without any overwork.
