Venezuela's Decade-Long Economic Crisis Explained

In this video, we thought we’d take a brief look at Venezuela’s election results; its ongoing economic crisis; and what might happen next.

Our mission is to explain news and politics in an impartial, efficient, and accessible way, balancing import and interest while fostering independent thought.

TLDR is a completely independent & privately owned media company that's not afraid to tackle the issues we think are most important. The channel is run by a small group of young people, with us hoping to pass on our enthusiasm for politics to other young people. We are primarily fan sourced with most of our funding coming from donations and ad revenue. No shady corporations, no one telling us what to say. We can't wait to grow further and help more people get informed. Help support us by subscribing, engaging and sharing. Thanks!

This man will be the most hated man in Venezuelan history in years to come. Schools in Venezuela will use him as an example to economic students of what not to do

But what about GDP per Maduro? I bet that went up since Maduro took power.

[gjaen]

The fact that the procentage came out as perfect numbers is kind of crazy. How stupid are these people.... xD

[timothytumusiime]

It says something very bad when TLDR, famously "as neutral as can be" saying, "....yeah, this thing was definitely rigged 😅"

This election bro said "nah, I've won"

[williansouza]

as a brazilian, i felt immensely sad when it was announced maduro had won again.

[nealrigga]

AND THIS IS THE SAME COUNTRY THAT WANTS TO INVADE THEIR NEIGHBOUR 😭😂

Can you guys do some stuff on Sri Lanka, there’s an election this year that hasn’t been covered much

[ORO]

And somehow he got "re-elected"? Right.

I don't think it's fair to call Maria Corina a conservative. Like by comparison to Maduro possibly, but I'd hardly call someone who's pro LGBTQ rights and pro abortion rights a conservative. She describes herself as a liberal as well, and the opposition party is more of a big tent party that consists of center left and center right parties.

Did anyone, anyone *at all*, really think it would be different? That Maduro would accept defeat or that the economic crisis would solve itself? 🤷🏻‍♀️

People who spam about sanctions are really funny. Acting like Maduro regime didn't print money or applied price controls. Also, nobody mentions how Russia and China are always desperate to defend Maduro bs 😂 yeah they do cuz they love democracy...

I don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis that is more entertaining than the sensationalized segment of economic and financial news. Thank you for your efforts to be the signal and not the noise. I understand that the economy is currently in a downturn and that we must wait for things to get better

[primal]

Venezuela's economy is terrible because of him

[sebbvell]

As a Venezuelan citizen, all i can say is that we want things to change but for change to happen Maduro has to step down from power

[notliquid]

The initial US sanctions on Venezuela were only targeting individuals, the proper economic sanctions were only applied in the mid 2010s so way after Venezuela's oil output declined

If maduro wouldnt be a dictator he would direct a company invested in mobile games youtube advertisement

Thanks for talking about Venezuela!
I've been a huge follower of you guys from a while now.
I'm a venezuelan residing in Colombia. The best that can be done for us now is making our country a conversation topic so that the international community cannot ignore us.

Thanks you again and have a blessed day!

Maduro is the definition of "lying on your resume"

[saquial]

I mean, it was kinda obvious he was going to pull a North Korea inspired move.
