OP I am sorry that the comments are not understanding that the chicken is literally 10 percent of their monthly income. Or that Venezuela severely lacking food in general. Yes that’s comparable to the states. The difference is that even with minimum wage we could buy a ten dollar chicken with one HOUR of work. Not several DAYS of work.

That’s so bleak. I’m sorry it’s that bad.

The US equivalent would be if one whole chicken cost $500.
