  1. “Printing money for the people”
    From 1999 to January 2020 Venezuela’s socialist regime has “raised” minimum wage 51 times in nominal terms in local currency. In real terms, minimum wage has gone down from $75 to $3 a month.

    Can this happen to your country?
     
  2. Let me guess... as long as money in centralized in the government, yes?
