Hello @fraenk
I tell you that your vote is very useful to Venezuelans. I have a friend of many years there and I could not find a way to help him, until steemit made it possible since I could make transfers from here to his wallet, without any cost and that easy.

Due the SBD went up in price, he told me that I change 12 SBD to his local currency and this represents 5 monthly salaries.

This also happens in Nigeria, your currency is so devalued that 1 SDB is almost a monthly salary.

Colombia my country, has had many problems with this president of venezuela! My president has been very tolerant and diplomatic but even so he receives insults and reprisals in commercial transactions and border closures. Threatens to join terrorist countries, and attacks with a very low vocabulary, this guy is crazy and rude.

There are many things that make this perpetuate. But basically everything has a common origin: A people with education and without hunger does not come to this situation, because the vote is conscientious, but the masses without access to an education or decent conditions, simply vote for the character that offers them crumbs. This is a vicious circle. Not only from Venezuela, but also in several Latin American countries, including mine. It is horrible to see the days of voting, cars hired by politicians picking up people and giving them a plate of food to go to vote, or some tiles or concrete blocks, the promise of the famous monetary aid of government programs, or the promise of a job etc. If the state uses resources well in education, health, politics, etc. productivity increases and living conditions improve for all. People with conscience, productive and without hunger do not vote for crumbs, so the corruption diminishes. Corruption and ambition is eating humanity alive.
