Are we talking about both big and small vendors here? I find it difficult to treat them the same. If we are only talking about the big ones then I wanna say that I agree but to a limited degree. Because their overall profits are still looked at, even if not much is done about it.

And especially now that we have a food crisis, an extra 1% or 2% (relative to revenue) could make them look really bad when their profits are already very high. Granted, my mind wandered off here and went into supermarkets. Personally don't care too much about clothing, etc. prices as that industry is another whole can of worms.

Not a great situation but cutting ties hasn't helped either. Perhaps with some commercial incentive there can be some change. Or maybe not. Still though, the Venezuelan government won't starve without this money and at least hundreds of thousands can benefit from a utility we all take for granted.

Is there a reason why it happens? Like how for example stress and anxiety aren't intrinsically bad but rather things that helped keep us alive.

Would it still be legal for them to become a politician?

That works for some reason, thank you. Not sure linking was the issue, just that the website does a redirect after a while for whatever reason.

Keeps loading another article as I try to read.

This is the kind of thing I point to people who "don't do politics". Maybe that's the case, but politics does you regardless.

Off the boiling water, into the fire.

Nah. Thankfully my mindless scrolling time has taken a dive, which is an issue I had been meaning to address regardless.
