A day in the life of Venezuelans: Anything but normal
Caracas, Venezuela. A daily struggle has become routine for Venezuelans. Economic and political unrest regularly send thousands into the streets to riot, both for and against the government of President Nicolas Maduro, resulting in conflict, and deadly turmoil.
More than 75 people have been killed since the movement began earlier this year. On Tuesday, a police helicopter coordinated a bold attack on the Venezuelan Supreme Court. The result of a month long struggle engulfing Maduro's regime.
The helicopter was apparently taken and piloted by an officer in the country's investigative police force, Oscar Perez. The protesters fired gunshots and tossed grenades as the chopper attacked the building and the Interior Ministry in Caracas.
A day in Venezuela makes it apparent, Venezuelans struggle to carve out a living in the face of severe shortages in food, medicine and other basic supplies.

hope you had a great day
75 is a really conservative number. How many thousand of peoples are in terrible health at the moment.
People are starving in Venezuela. In the same time Venezuela is one the place with the most natural resources on earth. So what is the problem? As usual always the same answer: Government corruption and Central banks control. When I tell people around me that they are not safe and they should take a look at Venezuela to see what is coming they stare at me blank...
Of course dude, the government is always at fault because as an individual, we can never impact enough to change a country!
