Venezuelan Inflation
 
Venezuelan Inflation: Pictures Reveal The Piles Of Cash Needed To Buy Everyday Items

Inflation, drug wars, paramilitary insurrection and capitalist invasions aside, Venezuela has a low cost of living, as far as exchange rates go. In the U.S., I can't get tomatoes for $0.35/pound, chicken for $0.42/pound, carrots for $0.21/pound or rice for $0.17/pound like they can. Those diapers and toilet paper seem hella cheap too, but I'm sure that it varies by brand.

If Americans were privy to production costs, versus what they are expected to pay for sh!t, there would be riots in the streets.

In all seriousness, I believe that if those godamn Indian casinos didn’t have such ****ed up greedy ass blackjack rules they would generate so much support no one could **** with them. There’s a huge contingent of people who just want fair blackjack.
