what do the stockpiles of a country heading for imminent economic collapse look like?
whenever I talk about my country of birth or any other Latin American country, there is no absence of compliments either because the services are absurdly cheap and almost nonexistent for someone who tends to pay $200 or more monthly in bills alone.
The truth is that yes, I can understand all this and in fact other countries whose value is the dollar are currently going through an economic recession that more than one person is panicking. but when I tell you that what happens in other places are small compared to what is happening here, your economic situation will not seem so pitiful.
with an inflation rate that has reached over 1k in the worst agonizing moment of the country... where there was money but no food to buy, due to a bunch of absurd sanctions that were slowly killing people...
I could say that nowadays the situation... the new crisis is being totally different... Now all the shelves are full, full of abundant food, all kinds of cheeses, and luxurious clothes and restaurants... :D but the average citizen of a stupidly non-existent middle class due to the erratic socialism, has no money to take this food home...
nowadays the middle class has been eradicated from the country...
and if you believe and call yourself middle class and genuinely think you are... I invite you to look at your fridge and name me at least 5 fruits, or better yet :D how much protein you have in it.
even simpler yet.... what model of car do you have? anything from 2005 to here honestly leaves you across the pond.
currently in this place ... anyone with a car in good condition is considered upper class while the rest... not...
very few people have this option.
And I can only end this conversation with :
what the heck is paper for? everyone talks about cryptos having no real value but what about paper?
can you go to a bank and ask for the equivalent in gold?, and if yes, what are you going to do with the gold, can YOU build something with it?
if the answer is no then you can only send it and trade it with certain people who use it.
Is it normal to pay meaningless amounts of paper for absolutely everything?
are we so bad that we can't live together and support each other?
the human race... it's disgusting, I would never be surprised if another species simply wanted to annihilate us... there are so many things out of control that shouldn't be out of control.
Honestly, every year that goes by I find it more difficult to see where I will be and if I will fulfill any of my dreams, which should not represent a luxury...
If you can travel ... be thankful for it
If you have $20 to spare at the end of the month ... be thankful for it
If you can walk around without being harassed or robbed... be thankful for it
If you can buy a car after saving ... be thankful for it.
If you have a house... be thankful for it
If you can eat chicken or beef... be thankful for it
If you can simply enjoy your life... be thankful for that.
because there will always be someone on the other side of the well...
