Can you imagine life without internet? That is life in Venezuela for most users, as the only ISP with an unlimited internet plan is owned by the State. That means that I went from having a mostly stable internet connection to having a slow, unstable and bad internet connection.
I have spent the last 4 days without internet, and I live on the same block where a tower of said ISP is located. I am currently working with my cellphone data, but it's expensive.
As for the latest news in Venezuela:
More lootings. A military helicopter was even seen flying over a location where the lootings were quite savage; namely, Calabozo, State of Guárico.

Lootings of two businesses in the State of Mérida:
This was seen the day when a group of men invaded farms and slaughtered and dismembered the cows:
I don't have photos for this, but as a result of the lootings, shelves in food businesses are quite empty in Caracas.
Even vegetables are missing. This is quite worrying to me. This means that it won't matter if you have the money: you won't be able to buy things that are not there. For two years now it was common to see shelf upon shelf carrying the same product, often something that people don't want, can't buy or don't need, like oatmeal energy bars, in order to fill it and make it look like there is food. Now I am seeing simply empty shelves. And I live in a place that is privileged by virtue of being so busy, meaning that businesses are often supplied with products.
