Special Period, lived by the Cubans now it is the Venezuelan's life to live

in #busy6 years ago
Hello steemians friends, many Cubans still cry when they remember the blackouts of 16 hours a day, the empty streets, factories paralyzed with their employees at home perceiving only 60% of the meager salary, resurgence of prostitution, shell steak of grapefruit and other resources against hunger. Suddenly the Soviet ships crammed with oil, cereals, milk powder, medicines, raw materials and industrial parts stopped arriving on the island.

Cuba's gross domestic product fell 38% and Cuba, which was facing a US economic embargo since 1962, was paralyzed.

Venezuela lives a special period but of a new time, when the world is no longer bipolar, when the bitter ideological struggle between communism and capitalism no longer exists, already in the 21st century the world is multipolar.

Citing the context of our times Venezuela is not in the midst of two superpowers like Cuba was at the time, what for Cuba represented the salvation of its economy that was the URRS counteracting the economic blockade by the United States for us was the PETROLEO, Venezuela for 17 years lived an unprecedented oil bonanza that undoubtedly kept us in an acceptable standard of living, we were not productive, but due to the easy money of the black GOLD we still had food to import, medicines to import, and we even gave ourselves the luxury of financing and reaching out to friendly countries in the region, but as happened to the Cuban revolution they never took foresight in case of a dissolution of the USSR, we believed that the oil bonanza was eternal and would last us forever , already with the abandonment of our savior the lord oil we already know in those who are being translated, shortage of food, medicines, blackouts, if in Cu ba proliferated by the serious economic crisis prostitution, here in Venezuela emerged the bachaqueo, what remains to conclude with this analogy that I do is the same as we all say, it is time to produce, and create another economy.

Let's stop bad companies and let's make this beautiful country re-float.
