I eat garbage, and you?

Hello steemians friends, the title of my post is just a rhetorical question. It is not jocosity because this is not to be taken for granted, what happens in our nation cancels that unique ability of the Venezuelan to make a joke in the worst situations, because the phenomenon we are observing leaves us speechless in the face.

In my oil country, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Each day the number of people who rise up on an empty stomach scavenging and of all ages, children, the elderly, young adults increases. Some fan could tell you that this has always happened in the country and there is some truth in this, but the particular thing now is that the people who are seen digging in the trash many times are people with homes and structured families, I have there the most alarming.

It is not the duty to be that there are people wandering the streets begging. The difference from before to this present, is that when you observed a Venezuelan in a state of indigence, you assumed that he was coming with certain problems in his home, a matter of the family nucleus which is decisive for the future of any citizen, the factor of now it is economical, normal structured families that because of their low income plus the number of family responsibilities are forced to reach that extreme, without fear of being wrong, there had not been anything like this in this nation, nor in the worst moments of the disastrous fourth republic. There seems to be no short-term solutions, while Venezuelans day by day live our reality, very hard indeed, the leaders of the revolution do not get off their ideological cloud disconnected from the rest of the citizens, they do not live as we do not lack anything, everything is easy, the good thing about these crises is that they stop new leadership.
