Venezuela: How long does it take to buy 8 basic goods? BBC News

I live in Venezuela. My question is :How do this guys manage to film the clip without getting mugged or killed to take their vudeo camera and cell phones? It is a real miracle they didnt become murder victims. Also talking English in public? A good way to become another kidnapping or murder statistic. Congrats in surviving your shopping day. By the way I am a Venezuela living in Venezuela. so this video is 100 Percent truth

i'm living in a 3rd world Asian country but cooking oil is everywhere,thanks god

This got published in 2015.. imagine how shit it would be now.

My dad is from venezuela and always tells me about how the country was great at some point and now my family is constantly starving and most people there are starving it's just sad

It's like Pokemon Go, only your life depends on it. Catch any wild gallons of milk lately?

When I complain about things in America , these types of vids make me shut my mouth and kiss my American ground .....

My Grandparents always stored up extra food. When I questioned their logic, they replied: People, don't wait until tough times to store up food and necessities. They lived through hard times and the memories stayed with them for life. Also, growing some of your own food even if you live in an apartment would be a help. I hope after reading this comment you take my Grandparents words to heart and put it into action.

In capitalist country, you line up to enter a nightclub to shake your ass In socialist country, you line up to buy toilet paper to wipe your ass*. * if its not sold out already...

It's been 3 years since this video was posted on YouTube and the condition in Venezuela is Soo bad that people are forced to live on rotten meat and they don't have any option but to search for food in the trashcan, while their leader is enjoying a big stake dinner at nusr-Et. It is estimated that inflation is at 84,000%. But still Maduro wins the election. Very sad to see the people's suffering there. Hope other countries intervene and at least provide some relief to the native population or else in no time it can be the next Syria.

Colombians used to want to go to Venezuela, but now Venezuelans want to go to Colombia!

My biggest question is how do he managed to be completely safe without getting the feeling that someone could probably stole all of his stuff? Man you are brave

Venezula can now be declared a third world country.

You do not need Toilet paper... just wipe your self with a 50,000.00 Bolivares note

In my country, all goods in as much quantity as you want gets delivered to home at just one phone call by local supermarkets, They offer free home delivery, and heavy discounts. This is the magic of capitalism.

I was born in Venezuela, when I was younger and living there, mainly around 2015, my mother and I were heading to the grocery store to grab some food, and while we walked there we saw a military truck carrying sugar, grain and other stuff in giant white bags. When the drove passed they got stopped by a bunch of people and the people on the streets crowded around the truck, two police men came out and tried to stop the people but they got pushed aside, I remember watching as people climbed up the truck and tossed bags of the sugar, rice, etc.. onto the ground and people grabbing them and running down the street. By then my mother and I were in the store. I remember seeing the isles empty, the lights were flickering, a lot of the windows were shattered or broke, we only could get so much, and by the time we got out. More police showed up to stop the people from getting the food. And now in 2019, it has only gotten worse. In my opinion this is what a unskilled president and a incorrect way to run a political idea can do to a country. Maduro is a damn dictator

I find the actual situation of venezuela specially angering, just pisses me off that we had more than 10 years of oil over 100$ per barrel and we didnt get anything good out of it, we had more money than Dubai (you know, the ppl that made the world tallest skyscrapper and paid for its ppl health program completely, without breaking a sweat). In the future what happened here in Venezuela will be remembered as the biggest, most expensive corruption and theft case in humans history.

Not to mention that condoms cost over $700 each

In the amount of time they stood in line, most likely in vein, they could have ploughed a field and planted seeds.

I live in Venezuela and this is 100% accurate
