RE: 1984: Fiction or reality in Venezuela? (Translation - Original author: @orianaalej )
Being under constant surveillance is terrifying. But being in a country where most of people make less than $5 a month is outrageous. Not exagerating here. In my current job, people make 2,500,000 bolivars. 1 USD equals 2,000,000 bolivars under current black market prices (the only way to find dollars). At least 120 USD are needed to sustain a family of four with the most basic goods. So just imagine the bad situation.
And let me tell you something, it is not the CIA's entire fault, if at all. It is a direct consequence of a negligent communist governmet whose thirst for power has overshadowed all of our sufferings.
