I live in an area where many residents are dependant on social security benefits with the inevitable substance abuse and mental illness readily apparent. And yet even the stray cats, of which there are many, are treated with more care and compassion, along with better nutrition and medical care, than the average Venezuelan. And this is a country with exponentially more oil reserves than mine. I'm lucky I don't live there.
