Out of curiosity, what keeps you in Venezuela?

  I ask myself that every day , especially now with a baby coming. 150% inflation in 2015 from January to September. Food and medicine shortages. Huge lines to buy food, diapers, baby formula. Almost all of my closest friends have already left. I think about leaving every day. I am teaching myself programming and studying for CCNA , thinking that maybe I can get a job somewhere relatively quickly , even though I'm in my mid-thirties and have limited experience in those areas.

  This is a first-world question, if there ever was one :) The answer: the same thing that keeps everyone outside the first-world in their place... the inability to get a visa to greener pastures.
