10 sats \ 1 reply \ @bief57 OP 15h \ parent \ on: What is it like to live in Venezuela currently? Current economy econ
ok, the prices my family is telling me are: Gasoline 0.5 USD per liter, Movie ticket 4.5 USD, large combo of colleagues and two sodas 9 USD, buy delicatessen (ham and cheese) 20 USD for a week for two people, meat products for 15 days for 2 people approximately USD 40, Vegetables every 15 days USD 20 excluding fruits and USD 80 to buy flour, rice, pasta, coffee, sugar and some cleaning products.
Gasoline no longer has the minimum price it used to, which was only paid with coins, remember? Now, in addition to the price, there are long lines to buy, lines that can last from 6 hours to 2 days, those are the things that my mother tells me, many times I write to her to make a video call around 9am and she tells me "no "Can I daughter, I'm in the gas line, I've been here since 10pm"
My husband and I watch your videos!
In March 2004, the carrying and use of firearms was suspended for a week on the eve of a march against the violation of human rights during protests demanding a recall referendum against Chávez. Yes, it is correct that the supreme court also expanded in 2004 if I am not mistaken.
Then in 2017
"The ban on carrying weapons for Venezuelans occurs less than 24 hours after the country's president, Nicolás Maduro, announced the convocation of a Constituent Assembly, a decision that has been rejected by the opposition, which considers it a consolidation of the coup d'état by the president.
"I summon the original constituent power to achieve the peace that the Republic needs, to defeat the fascist coup and so that it is the people, with their sovereignty, who impose peace, harmony and true national dialogue," said Maduro."

Excellent recommendation, that is a great publication, I will take the time to do a more detailed investigation. Thanks for your comment
It really is complicated, it depends on their age, at first it is more difficult, and I totally agree, sometimes it is more work than the help, but they feel so happy being a useful part of the house, the The problem also lies when we are in a hurry or it is something that cannot be damaged, but there we create strategies to make them participate. They also learn by making mistakes, today my daughter calmly mixes the pancakes by herself, I leave the ingredients on the table and she is in charge of mixing, while I do something else or sometimes she washes the dishes (not knives) and I I am advancing some other task, it is very great when they already know how to do small tasks. Keep up the good work with your baby.
That's right, when children are little they love to help you, their curiosity about the world makes them want to support you in whatever you do, my daughter at the moment likes to wash the dishes hahaha, who likes to wash dishes? Only the children like it because they play with the foam, but it is a good opportunity to teach them, the same for washing their clothes, they also like to help in the kitchen, my daughter and I cook together sometimes, she helps me with simple and Likewise, it is a great opportunity for her to learn and become familiar with household chores, which she will have to do alone at some point when she becomes independent.
My plan is to educate my daughter at home. I want her to learn basic life skills, cooking, managing her money, sexual education, driving a car, knowing what to do if she has an accident, first aid and knowing the importance of taking care of her family. mind and body. Raising children is not that simple, sometimes we want to do things and they turn out differently, personally I always talk to my daughter, we talk about the importance of her voice when it comes to giving her opinion, for example today when I dropped her off at school ( I still haven't been able to get her out of there for various reasons) and one of her teachers comes up to me and says: "Madam, your daughter spoke to me and told me that she doesn't like me helping her carry her suitcase and that she doesn't like me helping her either." give hugs, I tell you this because I don't want you to think that I treat your daughter with indifference", I told her that there was no problem. My daughter had previously told me that she didn't like it when her teacher hugged her and didn't let her carry her things on her own, so I told her "use your voice, and with great respect tell her that you don't like being hugged when you don't." you want and that he doesn't do it anymore and that you like to carry your suitcase alone"; It seems important to me that children know how to speak and defend themselves against adults, many are afraid to say what they think or want for fear that they will be scolded and that is very marked here in Latin America where there is adultcentrism. It is important that they learn self-defense as well, creating your own garden, even if it is small; We live in a society where everything is automatic and we are increasingly useless and that became more than clear in the pandemic. It is very great to have 3 university degrees but they are of no use to you if you do not know how to cook, defend yourself, lack emotional intelligence, empathy, respect and problem-solving skills. I hope I am explaining myself well. I am not taking education for granted and I am not saying that it is of no use, having knowledge of history, culture, mathematics, etc. is extremely important, having a balance of both skills in my opinion would make you a useful person to society and personally.
I couldn't bear to go back to a 9 to 5 job. Persevere in your coffee venture, it's a very good business and El Salvador is getting better economically. You're going to make it
It depends on each person's experience and amounts, the most basic thing they do is transact with USDT on Binance, I'm talking about people who really don't know the crypto world in detail. More experienced people do move with Lightning. I really wouldn't know how to give you more detailed information because I'm not there, the little I know is the information that my family and acquaintances give me.
That's right, my grandmother's husband was Spanish and he fled to Venezuela in the 40's or 50's, I don't remember well, and he always told us what the predictions were for Venezuela if the left remained in power, many took him for crazy and They said a phrase that I hate today: "Venezuela is not Cuba, that is not going to happen to us." My grandmother wanted to leave Venezuela back in the 2000's but my grandfather didn't want to, he told her, "you don't know what it's like to emigrate", I guess because he was very old and didn't want any more hustle and bustle in his life, he was comfortable , but it was a big mistake not to have emigrated at that time, in the end I had to wait to be of age to be able to leave. Going back to that phrase that I hate, and the argument of the people who support the left in their countries is "Argentina is not Venezuela", "Peru is not Venezuela", "Colombia is not Venezuela", "Chile is not Venezuela" The truth is that I don't know if they say it because they are in denial or they are simply ignorant idiots; I just ignore their comments, they are too opinionated to have a decent debate.
You have to listen to their speeches on national television, they are so daring that they describe themselves as heroes and worse still, their sadism is so great that they even have toys of themselves as superheroes, imagine that you are 7 years old and they give you this shit Christmas gift at school
"super mustache." We are a damn mockery to them, and the leftists happily eat air.
Correct, bitcoin is a lifeline to an economy that has devalued its currency by 700% in two years, education about crypto is vital and necessary to prevent more families from being destroyed by extreme poverty. Another aspect that I forgot to mention and I just remembered is that in Venezuela for many it has been a paradise for mining, the cost of electricity is practically zero (that is why it does not work), but people have looked for alternative solutions to obtain electricity, many people have returned, and apparently live "quietly" thanks to bitcoin.
I would tell you that Venezuela is only due to the fact that for about 5 years bitcoin has become popular as a payment method, given the hyperinflation of its local currency, bitcoin has been the refuge of many. Bitcoin is not "legalized" like in El Salvador, but they still use it to buy houses, cars, food, there are even super markets that accept cryptocurrencies, small entrepreneurs also accept them, whether to buy clothes, shoes or appliances. Second pro to consider is a Caribbean country if in that case you are interested in a tropical country. Cons: many, shortage of gasoline and gas in an oil country, ironically, water and electricity, I have acquaintances who still live there and their way of combating the lack of electricity is by installing solar panels and with respect to water, having a tank and paying for tanker trucks. to fill the tank. Health sector, well, don't count on public hospitals, only private clinics that are quite expensive. On the other hand, Argentina and Uruguay.
Thank you for the information and reminding us that we should have medical check-ups at least annually, many times we ignore discomforts and symptoms believing that they mean nothing, under the excuse of simply being tired from work or because of the children.
How did you manage to read it? I deleted the post last night, I don't know why, but then I was a little embarrassed and I thought: "no one wants to read complaints on SN"
Thank you very much for your words, sometimes you need a moment to vent and organize your thoughts, sometimes the days are overwhelming, but being in a good community makes the days go by better. Let's go ahead!
