It looked more like a club than a prison.

I see, it is much more expensive.

A ustedes les toca peor entonces, supongo por el hecho de que es una ciudad fronteriza y antes (no sé ahora) vendían gasolina en la frontera

I don't have a car, but my family's cars need 40 liters.

Esta muy genial tu publicacion, para tener mayor recibimiento en SN puedes hacer las publicaciones en ambos idiomas, porque la mayoría habla inglés y las que hablamos español estamos contadas con los dedos de una mano.

That's right, just like many people do. Some do it because they don't have a job, and they take advantage of that to at least make some money.

Isn't it the same? I mean half a dollar.

Which is illogical, outrageous, and funny at the same time because they have mining equipment on military bases. I don't know if you saw a news story from a few years ago where a problem occurred in a prison and it came to light that the prisoners (the pranes) had mining equipment. I want to write a post about that.

Yes, that happens a lot, for example there was a time when they were giving away cars and appliances, well in reality they were selling them at a very low cost, insignificant prices and they imprisoned the people who sold those products to others for higher prices.

both options are for the entire territory

Yes, both methods are legal and work in parallel. Payment methods include cash in bolivars, transfers, or credit cards. Cash in dollars is also available. What's not legal is the ticketing of coordinators. It shouldn't be illegal for people selling free gasoline if it's their own and obtained legally. They're just trying to take advantage of a broken system. They're also trying to profit from long lines to generate some income by selling their spot in line to someone who didn't want to and couldn't get up early.

Another thing I've heard a lot is that gasoline is not as good these days and is very dirty, which causes car fuel filters to deteriorate quickly.

Right now, everyone acts as if nothing's happening. They're working, dealing with the lack of electricity and water, going to the beach, buying whatever food they can, and so on. Today, May 2025

Give me a day to gather all the necessary information to answer you because right now I would tell you something very incomplete.

perfect

Don't apologize for asking questions, on the contrary, for me it's great because this way I can focus on specific topics and look for the best answer. Even in my previous post I asked for questions #951745

Que brutal este video! I love these kinds of videos. It's funny how many people think of USDT and Binance when you mention Bitcoin. So far, from what I've seen, they've been the main platform.

Of course, yes, you're absolutely right. Oil and margarine, in particular, are products that are consumed a lot here in Venezuela, so it's something I definitely need to mention. On the other hand, soda and chips like Pringles obviously don't belong in the basic food basket, but I took photos of those products to compare with those in Peru. I focused especially on my shopping list, which was just a few things for about 15 days, and that day we also bought some ingredients to make hamburgers at home, which is why soda was on the list. Now, for someone on a very tight budget, of course, soda and snacks shouldn't be a priority. They should focus solely on vegetables, mostly meat, and some carbohydrates like rice (that's what I do).

I apologize because I should have given more context as to why I'm making these comparisons. I'm Venezuelan and have lived in Peru for many years. I returned to Venezuela and, in the process, I've been evaluating the cost of living here. Many people comment that product prices in Venezuela are much higher than in Peru (there are more than 2 million Venezuelans in Peru), and on the other hand, there are people who have returned to Venezuela and say that everything is "fine." So here I am, evaluating everything that's happening around me and realizing how much of a difference there is in product prices.
