That's right ladies and gentlemen. That's what hyper-inflation does to a country.
When I was young and beautiful and could go places, I remember seeing British people buying like crazy in Miami, Florida, The U.S. That's because comparatively, the Sterling Pound is a much stronger currency than the U.S. Dollar, so even the poorest Britons could afford to go to the U.S. and tourist around like kings. Most of them didn't have good manners or education, so they probably mirrored 1980's Venezuelans who went to the same place to "'ta barato, dame dos" of everything.
But that's totally not the same situation Venezuela lives today, nor the same reason people come here to spend their $$$. There's nothing to tourist around, except maybe some natural wonders. The cities are chaotic, basic food items cannot be purchased except you do gigantic lines under the sun (and that does increase the risk for skin cancer, guys), and the crime rate is crazy. More people die over here during the weekend than in war stricken zones.
Oh, and there's the people searching the garbage for some food.
That was shot at a popular market - you know, those that already offer low prices to the population, so people cannot even afford to purchase food over there and resort to searching the garbage.
So, the only reason people come here - besides of those who still come to do business -, is to do articles wherein they show just how long you can live like a king on foreign currency.
What $80 looks like according to an article posted in Fusion:
It just doesn't stop:
Actually a friend told me he's never had that much money in his life when I showed him what my bank account looks like.
Hahaha.
Cheers to all of you who own real currency.
