5. Oh, I have, and the numbers are not pretty for Venezuela

Without including what this post talks about, let's show the other number:

56% annual inflation; second lowest minimum wage in the continent; Close to 30% scarcity level of products; $4 billion debt with airlines (and the government has the gall to say they're suspending/canceling flights because they're rerouting them to Brazil because of the World Cup); Over 3000 arrests made in protests, of which most are students; 24000 murders a year, with a murder rate of 79 per 100,000 (one of the worst in the WORLD) vs 4.8 in the US. Venezuela is considered by many agencies, including the World Bank, as the WORST country to do business in. Those items tell a lot more about the truth than any piece-of-crap propaganda article written by VenezuelaAnalysis or Eva Golinger. And all of this happened in a country with one of the world's largest oil reserves and with the average oil barrel being sold close to $100 for more than a decade. Had that money been managed well, the level of development the country should have would've been that of Dubai, and yet every day there are more shanty towns and more crime.
