A kilogram of chicken pictured next to 14,600,000 bolivars, the equivalent of 2.22 USD, at a mini-market in Caracas
WNU Editor: I only have one contact in Venezuela. He lives in Caracas, and he tells me on what is happening in his city, and when he can get out, the countryside. His description on what is happening is disheartening. As a retired dentist he has money that he put aside before the crisis really hit everyone, and he can afford protection from the gangs who prey on people like him. But life is still precarious, and very dangerous. He emailed me a post this morning, and told me that this is the best English description on what people are going through in Caracus. I am not in the habit of posting from Prepper sites, but this one is a must read (there is an advertisement that pops-up in front of the story, just click you mouse on the side of the ad and it will go away) .... 10 Survival Rules When Society Collapses: Lessons from Venezuela (Prepper Website).
