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 19 years in one of the craziest media landscapes in the world. Now, the difficulty level was raised abruptly with the global pandemic. We’ve seen different media outlets in Venezuela (and abroad) cutting personnel to avoid closing shop. This is something we’re looking to avoid at all costs, and it seems we will. But your collaboration goes a long way in helping us weather the storm.
