Dollarization won’t be decreed by an economist wearing a suit from a podium in Caracas. It's going to come when taxi drivers figure out how dollars can “hacer su agosto, Navidad and Carnavales” all in one go.
Perhaps Venezuelans are clueless about whether we'll reach safe harbor doing what we're doing. But one thing we’re positive about: we’re through trying to adapt ourselves to this hell.
What happens when a normal Caracas commute goes Star Wars.
It takes travelling to smaller cities to grasp how malignant the tumor of state-delivered groceries has really grown.
The genuinely sad part is that even if you force stores to knock down prices 30%, people on normal salaries can't afford the basics their families need.
We’ve been able to hang on for 21 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) closing shop, something we’re looking to avoid at all costs. Your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
