.......some of us live in Venezuela, and have lived here for many years. Others have family who live here, who have lived here for their entire lives.

On average, I'd trust the observations of someone who lives in the country, works in the country, tries to survive in the country, than someone in New York City or elsewhere in the first world and writes about conditions here, or somone who visits for a week, visits a single city, and would lead others to believe that what they experienced must be the condition across the country.

But that's just me.
