It is very hard to go up against the big fish in the world, such as the IMF, big backs and all the players who control us. I think Venezuela has a hard road ahead and just lost some support from the Chinese even.

According to steemers from VZ I have encountered here, life is very difficult and has a lot of different perils now. I saw someone mentioning they could not go to Steemfest even if they had the money as the government will not let them leave!

I hope they can improve their lot down there. It is a beautiful place with a lot going for it. But with the big guns after them, I am not sure if they can really buck the trend.
