Why the big difference in average vs minimum wage ?
If you work on average wage you get 6 times more than a person on minimum wage

That's about the same price as in America. But we get like more money or something.

Yeah, eating at the street here is not for everyone

Well, people working for minimum wage do mostly for the government and they receive some "benefits" most of them even have another work.

Is there some sort of plan to combat the insane inflation OP? How do people live?
I would love to know more
WorkingLime OP t1_iubglfi wrote
inflation is better now, only around 10% monthly, we reached 2,000,000% yearly in 2018.
People need a relative abroad that can help or have several jobs and sidejobs here!
What else do you want to know? Happy to reply

Why and how did it happen?
If people cant afford to live, what happens?
Is it possible to just move to a different country?

You could get 120 litres per month subsidized at a very low price (like 3 cents per litre), but you need to stay in line for days and not everyone can get it.
"Free" price (which usually means making a line anyway, maybe 1h depends where you live) is 0.50 USD per litre.

Your entire account seems to be posts similar to this. What do you stand to gain from making these posts? Surely everyone that lives in Venezuela knows the conditions, so you must be posting for outsiders to see. Do you receive a lot of donations by doing this?
WorkingLime OP t1_iubmmfa wrote
Of course I want outsiders to know what is happening here, venezuelan living here aren't a big number on Reddit and it is not news for people here, about donations, I don't ask for them.

So you have to make a serious choice to get your mouthy gas or can afford to eat for lunch
WorkingLime OP t1_iubrj4n wrote
No gas needed if you earn monthly minimum wage

Yes, prices are in USD. Ironically here the most used currency is the USD as there is no trust in the Bolivar.
Yes, ONE month of wage (minimum) is less than 16 USD. Average is around 100 USD monthly, 200 USD is possible.
