The movement, founded in 1865 by William Booth, has spread from London, England, to many parts of the world. The rapid deployment of the first Salvationists was aided by the adoption of a quasi-military command structure in 1878 when the title, âThe Salvation Armyâ, was brought into use. A similarly practical organisation today enables resources to be equally flexible.
Venezuelaâs oil production has been declining for years, going from 3.3 million barrels a day in 1997 to about 1.9 million barrels a day in 2016. Venezuela cannot afford to produce the oil it needs to sell.
Venezuela has the worldâs largest estimated petroleum reserves, and when oil prices were high, oil exports made up more than 95 percent of its hard currency income. Mr. ChÃ¡vez used the oil riches to fund social spending, like increased pensions and subsidized grocery stores. Now that income has been slashed.
