better a mouse in the pot than no meat at all.

Okay, good. Let's take a look at the note here.

This proverb is almost self-explanatory. So if we say it's self-explanatory just by

reading it, it almost explains what it means.

It doesn't need a lot of deeper explanation,

and it basically means

something is better than nothing.

Having something no matter how small or

poor in quality is better than nothing at all.

That's basically what it is so, a

a mouse.

Even though a mouse would not be very big.

That's even smaller than a rat.

A mouse of the pot. Well did they

cook the mouse ? That's what the proverb actually implies.

Is better than no meat at all.

Okay, good. So let's continue here.

There are many good examples of this

proverb the past few years in Venezuela.

Due to extreme levels of socialism and

numerous currency devaluations

combined with price controls has led to

food shortages. Yes, very severe food shortages.

I might have actually explained some of this in in past videos.

Because of the of the currency devaluations,

even the people that were buying products,

and trying to resell them in Venezuela.

They had to pay much higher prices.

And then the government went around

and turned and said there are price controls.

And the problem was is that the

vendors that were getting stuff, could no

longer sell it for more expensive than

they're buying for it. Than they're buying it.

So just like in any case where there is business,

if you buy a product.

and you have to sell it for cheaper than you bought it for.

Then of course you're not going to do it .

Because you would lose money with every sale.

So therefore they just weren't doing it.

That's what led to food shortages.

That's what led to the farmers, it wasn't even worth growing the stuff or the vendors

selling it because the government

made rules that they can only sell it for tis price.

And they could not get it for that price.

Okay. So let's continue here.

There were many reported case of

reported cases of stray dogs and cats

that were taken from the streets and eaten.

Yeah. I think thing from what they

were saying, there's like none left.

They ate them all pretty much.

People broke into a zoo and killed and ate animals.

Yeah. There was at least one story of this.

I know they ate a black stallion,

and I believe there were other cases,

where they broke into zoos and they ate

other animals as well. So you know,

When people get desperate and of course

Again, something is better than nothing,

when you really have no food at all.

The average Venezuelan lost over 20

pounds last year. All right. This is just

more to add to it. I guess the proverb of a

better a mouse in the pot than no meat

at all in Venezuela is literally true.

Okay, anyway. I hope you got it. I hope

it's clear.

I hope it was informative. Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
