What a deal.

A few days ago I saw a post about the price of filling a fuel tank and I found the cost of this one very revealing, so the next time we filled the tank I could not resist in any way and also take a picture for steem, now in the photo you see 1 bs.F per liter, well there is not much difference.

So I decided to take some photos of other products, which are published in Mercadolibre a page similar to Ebay or Amazon but from Latin America, to give some context to the price.

A christmas card, 135.000 Bs.F let do some math, we apply a little bit of cross-multiplication, so instead of buying a nice Christmas card, you can take 135.000L of car juice to home, to bad that buying a car or even repairing it has become so expensive, I would like to be able to publish the price of a car, but Conatel the right arm of the government for censorship in 2013 prohibited the publication of car prices in order to avoid price "speculation", I think it's more like "hiding the truth"

Now here we are moving to the field of ridicule, I had already commented that a 9V battery would cost so much, when the price of gas was so low, well now I say it again but with proof.

Now this publication offers a Blister 24 units of pens to 1,600,000 means about 66,000 Bs.F per unit.

The variation of prices in food is even worse, but since I don't have any support for these claims, since Mercadolibre does not publish food, and I don't have supermarket photos right now, I can't support it. So you ever read or heard the "gasoline in Venezuela is cheap", it is true without a doubt, but everything else isn't. The minimum wage in Venezuela today 29-05 2018 is Bs. 2,555,500 and it's a lot of gas but nothing more.

This year the government plans a monetary reconversion, with a new currency, the Sovereign Bolivar, which is nothing more than basically taking 3 zeros away from the currency, something that happens a lot in countries that suffer from hyperinflation, that I think that no more than an intelligent measure to make up the monetary imbalance that we suffer, mile sounds better than millions when it comes to paying something, although in reality this is the second monetary reconversion, already in 2008 the deceased president Chavez took off 3 zeros to the currency, so we are actually be talking about billions.
