> A somewhat popular opinion is that the country is very corrupt but you can live with it if you earn in dollars.

That was the exact same mentality that a lot of people in venezuela(me included) used to have at the beginning of the crisis "The inflation doesn't affect me, I earn in dollars" was a very common attitude for people with remote jobs, but then even the price in dollars started to increase due to the corruption on every level of the supply chain, companies leaving or closing, terrible mismanagement of public services like electricity, water and transportation, and many other terrible decisions. We were too naive...
