The currency of my country is not the dollar, it is a currency called Bolivares, but what happens is that the currency is at a very high point of inflation that talking about bolivares we would be talking about a dollar equivalent to 25 million bolivares, so to simplify things they put the price to what is equivalent in U.S. dollars, which is a very commercial currency here.

The problem in Venezuela is that the minimum wage is almost 5 dollars, so it is not enough for much.

I thought you had said the prices were in your counties currency, that is why I asked. I actually do know the are sometimes priced in dollars and sometimes bolivars.

Their wage is a huge problem!

Yes, I think I failed to clarify the issue of currencies and how markets work with two different currencies, but there are times when it is very complicated to explain this.

The only people who have good salaries are people who work for private companies or for companies in other countries.

I agree, it is complicated and I wasnt criticising your pist by any means.

Venezuela is in a ver precarious situation. The people deserve better after all these years!
