@juanmolina - I do not doubt that what you say is true, but with all due respect, I think you are missing the point. I have said that 10% is a ripoff, and you have said that it's their best option; these two statements are not mutually exclusive. When the system is rigged, we are often forced to settle for the lesser of two evils, but that lesser evil is *still* evil.

I know a lot of *Venezolanos* here in Buenos Aires, most of whom are working their asses off for shit wages. The fact that working for shit wages is better than starving doesn't change the fact that they are being ruthlessly exploited.

As for strong words, yes, I know. I'm working seven days a week, haven't had a day off since early February, and I'm feeling somewhat cantankerous. But hey, you asked me to read your article and comment. I read it, upvoted it, and left a lengthy and thoughtful comment.
