A very nitpicky thing I would like to add is that where the article mentions that Venezuela’s minimum salary currently stands at 130 bolívares (around US$5) is technically true, it’s simply some bureaucratic and economic lie, the actual minimum salary is higher than that and close to something like 150/250USD.
It’s not a lie, though, the official minimum salary in Venezuela is 5USD, but they keep it low so they don’t have to raise thing that retirement and other kind of shit, which would trigger an increase in a lot of other areas, but no one lives with that. It’s just something you don’t know unless you live in Venezuela I guess.

But that means media lied, which is impossible I daresay
