What everyone in Venezuela is talking about: The government delivered a half Petro to 3.5 million public workers & 4.5 million pensioners for a trial run. It's being seen as a success. Select stores are accepting the form of payment, and people are lining up at those stores. https://twitter.com/NestorLReverol/status/1212720308874035200 …

The half Petro is valued at about $35, the cost of half a barrel of oil. It's a significant subsidy considering the wages here. Among the stores accepting the payment are some Faramatodos locations and Bodegas like this which accept cryptocurrency.https://twitter.com/camilapress/status/1208827492036952070 …

That vid at Bodega 58 in Altamira was taken just before the 1/2 Petro was distributed. Now places accepting the payment are packed with lines out the door. Farmatodos is basically Venezuelan Walgreens; the popular Traki department store is accepting the form of payment + others.
