Absolutely true what you say. I feel the same way.

Now in the case of Venezuela the minimum salary (July 2017) is 97531 BsF. The (black market) US Dollar is at 14760BsF per USD (as of today).

So basically the Venezuelan minimum wage now is a bit more than 6USD a month.

And just like you mention in France, Venezuela also removed 3 zeros from the currency about 10 years ago. So today's min wage would be at the many millions :(
