Socialism: Venezuela’s Minimum Wage Crashes to Under Four Dollars a Month
委內瑞拉基本工資崩潰至一個月$4

The monthly minimum wage in the socialist country of Venezuela has crashed to
under four dollars a month as hyperinflation continues to crush the country’s
 shattered economy.

由於惡性通膨讓經濟崩潰，社會主義國家委內瑞拉基本工資跌到一個月不足四美元。

Despite dictator Nicol嫳 Maduro’s five minimum wage hikes over the course of
2017, the monthly minimum wage of 177,507 bolivares is equivalent to $3.41, wo
rking out at just over two cents an hour, according to latest real value excha
nge rates.

馬杜洛總統2017年五度調漲基本工資，但是現在委內瑞拉的實質基本工資跌到只剩下一個
月3.41美元。

Venezuelans also receive a monthly food ticket of 279,000 bolivares a month, b
ringing people’s total monthly income to around approximately nine dollars a
month.

政府還發放糧票，所以人民每月最低收入為9美元。

Maduro confirmed last week that the government would debut a new 100,000 Boliv
ar bill, making it the highest denomination note released in modern Venezuelan
 history. The move comes less than a year after he tried to relieve pressure o
n consumers by releasing 500, 1000, 2000, 10,000, and 20,000 bolivar notes, al
though all of these notes now all have a value of well under half a dollar.

While, ten years ago, a 100 Bolivar note could buy a television, it is now wor
th just over one cent, with the currency having lost over 99.99 percent of its
 value since 2010. Yet rates of inflation continue to accelerate amid fears of
 a default on the country’s colossal debt.

On Wednesday, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov confirmed that Russia wo
uld offer Maduro a restructuring package on Venezuela’s $3 billion debt, alth
ough analysts believe this will do little to ease the overall debt burden, whi
ch currently stands at around $120 billion.

The unprecedented levels of inflation have now led the country into the worst
humanitarian crisis in its history, leaving millions living in abject poverty
amid chronic shortages of basic resources such as food, electricity, medicine,
 and sanitary products.

The country’s government also faces further pressure from the United States,
with the Trump administration signing off on a range of sanctions primarily ta
rgeting the country’s state-run oil company following the socialist governmen
t’s installation of a “national constituency assembly,” a fraudulent lawmak
ing body which has effectively rendered the country a dictatorship.

As part of his socialist economic program, the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Ch?
vez would boast that Venezuela had the highest minimum wage in Latin America,
equivalent to $372 a month. However, inflation began to soar as early as 2007
and has now reached levels comparable to Germany’s Weimar Republic or Zimbabw
e’s hyperinflation crisis, which saw people using wheelbarrows to buy product
s and the introduction of a 100 trillion dollar banknote.

委內瑞拉前任領導賈維斯實行社會主義，法定基本工資達每月372美元，為全拉美最高。
但
是自2007年始，惡性通膨爆發，程度和德國戰間期或是辛巴威危機時期不相上下，人民得
用手推車載錢上街買東西。

備註：委內瑞拉基本薪資調漲了60%，當初美國覺青超羨慕，結果現在整個社會主義制度
因為低油價而崩盤。

國家物資缺乏，因為政府制訂低價格，廠商沒有生產誘因。

弄得現在總統還要呼籲人民吃兔肉來充飢。

社會主義好棒棒
