Venezuela GDP

2011: $334 billion
2018: $96 billion

"Aye but it's, erm, not real socialism."
If only there was a way of identifying Venezuela's key export and whether it has collapsed in that time?

Oh look.
It was $100 a barrel and fell to $37 in the space of 2 years.

It's an example of a state becoming reliant on a single commodity. Won't be the first or the last to make the mistake of living off today's wealth without planning for tomorrow.

Don't worry about ST, he used to be a left wing eco-hippy, but since he's hit 60 he's now all bitter and full of hate.
 
It appears some people seem to think it's the Oil's fault for going down in price, not the shambolic government or policies which are to blame for the country being a ****ehole.
See the last line of the post I made about Venezuela and oil for details.
