I agree that your government needs a total revamp and people also have to change their mindset. Though I have a question about those people who take opportunity of the crisis there and sell their merchandises for very high price. I suppose you know some of them for quite some time now. And prior to Venezuela getting into such dire situation, are those opportunist people also as abusive like they are today? I am asking because we also have to understand where they are coming from. If they have been opportunists from the very start then I guess there is a problem with them. If they became opportunist only when your national crisis started, their environment drove them to be bad.

It is the basic of supply and demand that when the supply is very scarce while the demand is so high, prices automatically follows to rise. That happens everywhere not just in Venezuela. Those who sell their merchandise for very high price may also be holding on to it for their survival.

I may not have all the details about what is going on there in Venezuela as I am only relying on what I read over the news and articles like yours. I can only say I am sorry for what is happening there. And may everything turns out okay very soon.
