Remind me what was the price per barrel when Chavez started? Also, what is the price per barrel today?

Edit: without writing a fucking monologue, what was the price. Please I would love to know

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Here's a video that will educate you about Venezuela's oil problems. Sorry life isn't as simple as your logical faculties.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I asked for a number not a video. Don't deflect please, I know the reasons are not price related.

I want a number. Tell me why the price of oil dropping is the reason they failed. I want to be educated with a number.

Here I will help,

Price per Venezuela crude oil barrel in 1999: _ . __

Price per Venezuela crude oil barrel in 2024: _ . __

Why do you want to know? Do you think Chavez singlehandedly controlled the price of oil?

You know that's a worldwide commodity, the price of which is affected by myriad factors out of any one country's control, right?

There's no such thing as "price of Venezuelan crude oil" seperate from the price of all other crude oil.
