Because the system is ruled by the elite. I'm from Croatia and we are battling with the same situation. A month back a man that grows marijuana to treat his multiple sclerosis got 2 years in jail while a nephew of a politician got probation for having 15kg of marijuana....
What frustrates me the most about this is that we all know this is happening but still don't do anything about it. Selfvoted hoping that you will see this.
A similar case occurs in my country Venezuela.
The government does not think it's from the elite but it is from the worst of the worst in corruption.
While hundreds of people are still imprisoned for protesting against better situations and opportunities for all of us who live here, the country falls apart, the oil resources are stolen and everyone denounces that but for the government nothing happens, everything is part of an economic war. It's frustrating.

Please check out this initiative: Helping Venezuela with Crypto. DavidHay's Mass Adoption Pan. I give a very brief overview of the historical problems that the government has caused, and a HUGE plan that might help the people of Venezuela, as well as crypto.
It is extremely frustrating and disheartening. I hope you and your family are well.

Hopefully @ngans cryptocurrencies could help us all but not all Venezuelans have the correct information about it. The government is trying to take advantage of it through the PETRO but frankly there are more doubts than benefits that we see in this currency. For me it is a new way of diverting the riches of the country to the same small group as always. And thanks for the link I will try to check it calmly.

Yes, these are great points. You should check out his video in the article. He touches on the problems associated with the PetroDollar, and explains that his plan involves setting up offices where he will train people on how to buy, exchange, and use the cryptocurrency. He is a great communicator, with a huge youtube channel. He also has Venezuelan family to whom he sends money via crypto, making him a perfect person to help in this way.

I've been following the situation with Venezuela for a while now, it's very sad to see something like that unfold. The oppression you are facing from your own government for the past couple of years is immense. I don't get it. how far will they go? And how much more can the people take?

The thirst for power is immense @runicar for them the slogan is to keep the people with gifts when reality tells you that with what earned per month minimum wage do not reach to buy the food of the day for a family of three members.
Venezuelans are mostly taking the decision to leave in search of new opportunities in neighboring countries such as Coombia, Peru, Chile or Ecuador, leaving behind family and assets that cost so much sweat. But I do not judge them at some point I will have to migrate since the situation instead of improving, gets worse over time.

Yes. This is a cyclic problem. The more that the currency hyperinflates, the more the government prints to pay off dept. This is a problem that has occurred countless times in history.
The spill over from fleeing Venezuelans is putting additional stress on the neighboring countries. This is a huge issue, which unfortunately not many US or Europeans seem to be aware of.

I think people are doing as much as they can behinf the scenes to stop the elite, but they cannot do it publicly.
