Re: Venezuela
Doing awesome.
Venezuela gets about 95% of its money from selling oil from its abundant reserves. The country basically depends completely on oil money to continue functioning.
So when oil prices drop, it may be good for gas prices in the US, but it’s very bad for the people of Venezuela.
Prices are currently around $50 per barrel. For Venezuela, that’s not good—they would need the price to grow to $121 per barrel to balance their budget.
It might not have been so bad if former president Hugo Chávez hadn’t chosen his oil company leaders based on their loyalty to him and his party. The employees took money from the company, but didn’t re-invest the cash to improve the country’s processes, causing oil production to actually fall in the 2000s.
...
Due to the lower oil prices — again, oil accounts for 95% of Venezuela’s income — the country is losing money.
Inflation is also ridiculously high in Venezuela. Shortages of goods have resulted in sky-high prices and a complicated exchange rate system, which gives preferential rates to those importing essential items, hasn’t helped.
The president has accused Venezuelans of smuggling goods to Colombia for profit and shopkeepers of withholding stock to drive up prices.
Experts say the economy will fall 8% this year, with inflation growing to over 700%. The government has very little cash on hand even though it owes tons of money.

Where's Sean Penn to save them all and praise what a great job Hugo did?

A Venezuelan has taken to Imgur to get the word out because their government has shut down all MSM.
There's a complete news blackout here in Venezuela. The only TV channels left are those controlled by the fucking government. Even CNN was shut down a few weeks ago.
Imagine that the only way to stay informed about a revolution in your country is twitter, WhatsApp and Facebook.
People dying in the streets, and the government plays a paragliding documentary on tv...
That's my country today... you may not care... but think if this shit happened to you... wouldn't you ask for an up vote to create awareness? Help us! Please

I think they gov't jacked up minimum wage by 50% and then capped inflation. Not kidding.

Opposition candidate murdered night prior to election, and protests are illegal.
Yeah, Sean Penn, this is a great example for how the U.S. should be run. It's definitely all about the welfare of the people...

On the up side, I read somewhere that they have the narrowest spread between the rich and the poor there. It sucks for everyone, but hey... everyone is pretty equal.
