To mention just a few things: we don't have food in here, like you would have to go on a line for hours and hours and hours to get 1 of each basic product (milk, sugar, rice, pasta), that's if you find any. If you don't, you have to buy it from re-sellers who get up at midnight and go make lines at the supermarket, they sell things pretty much 5 times the price it actually costs.

There's not any real good jobs either and most jobs only pay minimum wage. Minimum wage is at 15.000 bolivares, the basic food basket is at +150.000 Bolivares.

Crime rate is off the roof, as stated before, you can't really go out at night without risking getting robbed, killed, kidnapped. I was robbed last year walking at 7 pm in a crowded ****ing street.

We have blackouts every single day, they last 4 hours. So add to that list power shortage.

We don't have any medicine, you have to go on an adventure hunting to find basic medicine. There's even power shortage sin hospitals and clinics and people day on a daily basis because of this.

Also, no water. They cut water distribution and we only get it once a week, so people just survive by storing it in tanks.

No media coverage of any of these issues. Watch Maduro speak and you will think this is the best country in the world.
