As the country continues to fall, and the government becomes more corrupt, companies suffer. In the world, there are many things that cannot be missing. The whole country is suffering from shortages of food supplies, and other basic needs like shampoo, toothpaste, and daily uses.
Most people think that multinational corporations around the world always do well, because they are well known and always call the people’s attention. This might be true, however, not if their best selling product does not exist anymore. If you ask anyone what they like the most about McDonalds, without a doubt they will answer the French fries. Due to the devaluation in Venezuela’s currency, there are no dollars to import food. This leads to companies not being able to sell their products. This is what is currently happening here. The government is refusing to give dollars to the McDonalds franchise in the country, and is unable to bring fries into the country, since they come from Canada. Individual owners can’t bring the fries by their own, because they would need to buy the dollars at the black market, which at the time of selling will make no profit.
What they have done instead is sell other products that can replace the French fries. These replacements are “Arepas” and “yuca” which are native to the country and will luckily be no problem no find.
This is just another way to show the struggles we are going through in our country, and how it becomes worse every day. We cannot give up, because if we do, things will just get worse.
