How do Venezuelans afford food?

They don’t. Many are starving

Why does it bother you? Let him be, he actually does that shit to no avail for free to everyone's amusement. Let him be

Communism seeks to eliminate money entirely so this makes sense, I imagine it's the same way Cubans do it, where the monthly salary is something like 20 to 30 dollars but all of your life needs (Food, shelter, transport, education, healthcare...) are either completely free or so heavily subsidized they might as well be, so your wage is more like pocket money than an actual living wage. That's the theory at least because Venezuela had bouts of hyperinflation which completely fucked its system.

Mind boggling how the country is so rich yet they're so poor.

These two guys are on the right track. Btw it's not food stamps as that's an american program, but most public utilities are largely subsidized, food prices are controlled and there are food programs nationwide.

That said, they're inneficient like everything all governemnts around the world do, so there exist parallel black markets for literally everything. Also, most venezuelans receive remmitances from abroad and the economy is heavily dollarized while in border states a lot of times they deal in colombian pesos, that's why that min wage figure is meaningless. It doesn't adjust to the realities of the underground economy

If you believe America and Venezuela are in the same tier economically you're an idiot.

that's not what I implied. I'm implying they're broke due to US economic sanctions, on something outside their borders. The retardation of chavism comes second.

>sanctions are the only reason they're broke

>developing economy is dependent on it's petroleum exports because has yet to diversify it's economy
>Saudi's and Americans purposely devalue the price of oil to make it economically unfeasible for countries like Venezuela and Canada to compete with them
>blame communism

? I said America and Venezuela aren't the same economically. Never did I mention GDP or per capita income. Like all leaf posters your mental illness has caused you to make a terrible post. I'm sorry.

The crisis began long before even the first sanction or the collapse of oil prices

OP is minimum wage on US dollars, how wouldn't it look bad? Take a look at any graph pre and pos sanctions.
Something like that on an already destabilized country makes a huge difference, even though it was completely their fault until that point

>Americans make 60k (including antiquated boomers and gangster capitalists raising the value, working zoomers probably make 20k (8 dollar min wage lol))
>most wealth per adult besides Switzerland (they are actually rich though)
Why do Americans think billionaires and trickle down raise their quality of life?

They receive money in the mail from their cousins in Colombia, Perú and other countries.

min wage is actually like 100 usd now

You're delusional if you think that plummeting oil price is the only reason, since Venezuela was the only oil-dependent country to collapse, not to mention that protests and economic problems there started even before the oil price collapse in 2014 (although they were intensified by it for sure) and when they still ran a significant trade surplus. There was a lot of government corruption and mismanagement involved, which was naturally facilitated by socialism since it gives control to the government on all aspects of the daily life.
