My first reaction to this post is very simple: The economic situation in Venezuela has never been worse than it is today. Therefore,
no serious Venezuelan can claim that his country is the happiest in South America.

If you want to ascertain the above statement, there are many sources you can consult.

Venezuela is watching its population slowly starting to flee their country. People are establishing in nearby countries, notoriously Panama.

There will be a time when oil demand is not high enough Marksman_91 Sep 2013 #19

Perhaps you'd be good enough to inform DU'ers about the industry and thriving agriculture Judi Lynn Sep 2013 #21

That's all very nice but Venezuela is indeed living off heavy oil Socialistlemur Sep 2013 #23
