If you want to address the ills of communism or socialism, MacDonald's is not the best way to do it for certain.Oh my goodness. It is so important that people in Venezuela can eat MacDonald's fries....especially since their high saturated fat content contribute to heart disease, diabetes an obesity.Don't you just love the way socialism does so much for the working man and the poor? How much do you want to bet that this thread will bring down a hail of abuse against McDonald's from the resident forum commies?
The good news is McDonald's is finally bringing back fries in Venezuela, after getting rid of them last year, according to the AP. The bad news is the regular will cost about $79 (500 bolivars), according to the country's strongest exchange rate.
Worse, a large will cost about $126 (800 bolivars).
The exchange rates were calculated at the time of publication.
Still, at Venezuela's black market rate, these prices would be $0.64 for the regular, and $1.15 for the large, according to Fusion.
However, at the black market exchange rate, Venezuela's minimum wage is only about $13 per month.
So, with those numbers, one large fries would cost nearly 9% of a person's monthly wage.
Another moron who doesn't get the point chimes in. This thread is not about the merits of McDonalds french fries. It's about the standard of living in Venezuela. McDonalds is being used as a yardstick for comparison purposes.
Of course, I don't believe you're as stupid as you pretend to be. You know you can't win on the subject of the discussion, so you attempt a diversion.
If you want to address the ills of capitalism, MacDonald's would be one of the best examples.
And there is the pot calling the kettle black.You said South Americans produce healthy food. You're obviously an ignorant moron.
South America doesn't have nearly the obesity problem the U.S. has. Americans really are fat asses. It is what it is.
Most South Americans have to walk everywhere because they can't afford to buy a car. That's why they aren't fat.
Once again, you only prove that you're a dumb, ignorant American bigot.
Oh, so that's why most Americans are fat asses? Sure, now i get it. Yeah, why don't you mind your own business and worry about your own country's problems.
Do you suck all the intelligence out of a room when you walk in?
It's concept, not conception.And there is the pot calling the kettle black.South America doesn't have nearly the obesity problem the U.S. has. Americans really are fat asses. It is what it is.

Seriously, you don't care about Venezuelans. You just wanna steal their oil. So mind your own business. Leave Venezuela to Venezuelans.

You're right, I don't give a damn about Venezuela. I care about America, and I don't want it to turn into Venezuela. However, that's exactly what will happen if Americans listen to morons like you.
You are the one talking about it and you are the one doing it.

Well then stop whining about Venezuela. Start whining about your own country.
MsDonalds is not the cause of Venzuela's problems, numskull.It's concept, not conception.And there is the pot calling the kettle black.Do you suck all the intelligence out of a room when you walk in?

I actually hear ya. I don't want my country becoming Venezuela either. So we can agree on that. I just think you chose the wrong example and argument. McDonalds and other evil corporations like it, represent the worst of America.
So I can understand why other countries don't wanna go that route. Corporatism is the wrong way to go. But so is Communism/Socialism. I think we agree somewhat overall. Take care.
Being that 95% of all exports and 45% of all revenues are due to petroleum products, I would say that most of their economic problems resulted from from a 67% fall in oil prices over the last 5 years.In Brazil a Big Mac is $5.54. Venezuela's economy has gone from bad to worst with the fall in oil prices. 95% of their exports are petroleum products and petroleum sales account over half of the countries GDP.Why would Big Mac "bring back fries after getting rid of them last year" according to the A.P. Is the A.P. the source for the entire convoluted story? Why would MacDonald establish itself in South America if nobody could afford to spend a week's wages on a order of large fries? Nothing makes sense in the story. Doesn't South America produce cooking oil and freaking potatoes?
Their economic problems Are almost entirely the result of socialism. It's the poorest country in South American even though it sits on top of an ocean of oil.
So how does socialism play a role in this exactly? They have a shit exchange rate and these products must be exported.Don't you just love the way socialism does so much for the working man and the poor? How much do you want to bet that this thread will bring down a hail of abuse against McDonald's from the resident forum commies?

And a liter of gasoline's like 3 cents so it probably averages out ok.

No, it doesn't average out. Haven't you seen the pictures of long lines people waiting to get into a grocery store? Haven't you read about all the shortages? Haven't you seen pictures of the empty shelves in grocery stores?
