I am here to tell you that I was walking with my son in one of the most recognized shopping malls in my city. It made me very nostalgic. In previous years there were many more people in the stores inside and outside, in the walkways, in the aisles, and on the street.
With sadness, I see this that I show you, everything is desolate, and there are many cars in the parking lot. We looked for the different ice cream shops that were always open here, but we saw nothing, they are all closed.
I asked one of the people who attend a shop and she told me that many shops have closed due to a lack of personnel. Others closed because the tenants left the store or the country, and others are closed because it is January and they are resting from December's work.
This commercial center many years ago was a center of attraction visited throughout the year. Because of its many stores and services. You could get everything in this great center. Everything changes and the changes that are happening in my country are very frequent and drastic. The economy is still in free fall. The market was dollarized.
Families balance their economy on the remittances sent to them by relatives who have left the country. Those immigrants are traveling the world in search of betterment for themselves and their families.
Mine have also left, several relatives left this country several years ago to settle in North and Central America. Probably when my son finishes his thesis he will also have to leave in search of better work alternatives.
The minimum wage for workers and pensioners continues to fall and today a pensioner receives $6 a month. Every day it is going down more and more. In other words, that amount is what the government gives me monthly as a pensioner. After working for 47 years in my country, I am still working, this is what I receive from my country as a pensioner.
For this reason, millions of people prefer to risk their lives going through so many difficulties in the countries where they have had to leave, in order not to have to face the hard reality that exists here. I am still working at 62 years old and I am still in private practice I continue to do many activities where I receive economic benefits. I also have my son who works and is a great collaborator.
Life is beautiful despite all the difficulties and yesterday I was able to go out with my son to observe the Canales located at the back of the commercial center. We were able to have a friendly conversation and then have ice cream, then say good night to this beautiful place. There are not many people but the beauty of the surroundings lingers, the vegetation, the sea, and the well-preserved infrastructure.
We will come back another day on the weekend and in the evening to see how this place is doing.

Es el aporte del 50% de tus ganancias en powerup creo que así va la cosa.
Que lastima pero ya me lo imaginaba la desolación de los comercios y locales un lugar tan hermoso. Pero hay que pagar el alquiler y si no va gente imaginate.

Yes, the minimum wage no longer amounts to anything. And yet the authorities are calm.

What a beautiful mall.
Pension I might have at the age of 72 if still alive. They only pay if you ask for it. Mine is not worth much. Women for longer did not receive any no matter if they worked.
Today they say the funds are empty. Those who worked paid for it for many years. Those funds, the governments wasted it.
