RE: How the Crisis has Changed Venezuela: The Rise of Nepotism

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

It sounds like a really dangerous job. In Bolivar, a state southeast of Venezuela, there are many miner cities, one of which is called El Callao (the silent one). There, mining is also the best paying job, and everybody's got family who works in the mines. They just get a group of people and they go to the mines. It's not an employment as far as I'm told. If they have the knowledge or the equipment or they have friends with the knowledge and the equipment, they can go there. They use very heavy stuff and it's extremely dangerous.

But the most dangerous part is that, in the end, when they are taking their loot, there are gangs that "guard" the mines. They have to give something like 85% of what they got to those gangs and they get to keep the rest and sell it. It's still awesomely profitable, but the crime situation makes up for an extra risk that no one in my family would want to take if we lived there.

I had to look up "Sahm" :P

How is Steemit working for you in terms of extra income?

Sort:  

Ya SAHM lol , stay at home mom lol.

That has got to be the weirdest and most horrible way to fun a mine, that I have ever heard! Thats insane!

As for Steemit... Im not quite there yet for making an income. I still try to find my niche, and the things I think that I could write about I have to wait till spring for taking the right pictures. Just a time game I guess.

Lol, I just use pixabay.com and write quick stuff to share lol. My main "income" (still too low) is commenting eeeverywhere. I don't want to spend too much time per post. I've seen people who spend a whole week per post and it doesn't fit the model I strategized. The effort to be put into posting vs. comments is debatable, of course, but this is the way I chose, and it's bound to change if I find a better way.

I comment more as well but sometimes I just don't know what to say anymore. Gotta take a break once in a while to refresh my brain lol Also my voting power lol.
