Yeah, I have a friend who lives in Venezuela, he and his family can barely afford to eat, and I mean barely. Beans everyday and nothing else for years. I tried to send him some computer parts and it was going to be over 5 grand to send them, so I couldn't afford that, but his pc was genuinely very low end 5 years ago and I know he hasn't been able to upgrade, especially with all the money going to his 9 other family members living in the 1 bedroom apartment.
But whatever lies you have to tell yourself to sleep at night buddy.
If you think that is because of Maduro and not decades of being illegally sanctioned and blockaded by their northern neighbor then I have a bridge to sell you.
